Seeking judgments on abusive use of disclosure in England and Wales

Could an English court require lawyers to make a video about their disclosure obligations?
I recently wrote an article about the Court of Appeal’s decision in Denton which I called Letting the punishment fits the crime as Mitchell gives way to Denton. As the title implies, I suggested that Denton took us some of the way back … Continue reading
The Jackson consultation responses pull no punches but Grayling and the MoJ will ignore them
There is a palpable sense that civil justice in the UK has plunged off a cliff in the short time since the implementation of the Jackson reforms. A few of the responses to the Civil Justice Council’s consultation have been … Continue reading
Mitchell and relief from sanctions under CPR 3.9 Part 1 – cock-up or conspiracy?
One of the many advantages of not being a journalist is that I do not feel the need to react immediately when major developments occur. The news in November that the Court of Appeal, led by the Master of the … Continue reading

Send three and fourpence, going to a dance – muddled messages from the MoJ

Time spent telling judges about their use of social media could be better spent on eDisclosure
Recent guidance from the UK’s Senior Presiding Judge and the Senior President of Tribunals fired a warning shot over the bows of judges who blog, a term which they helpfully define as being “derived from the term ‘web log’”. The … Continue reading

Planting eDiscovery ideas inch by inch and step by step

Far and wide eDiscovery at the Chilli IQ conference in Sydney
Sometimes an unconscious theme develops during conferences. Appropriately, perhaps, given the “IQ” element in the organiser’s name, the point which recurred in Sydney was the use of human intelligence in parallel with the processing power and clever technology to get … Continue reading

ILTA Insight 2010: lawyers risk becoming just part of the clients’ process

The British invade Washington again, this time to talk and learn, not burn
