Introduction

Time is a precious commodity in dispute handling. Sometimes you may need more time to issue a claim form than you have. Where do you find it?

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive course will cover the following:

Relying on s32 Limitation Act 1980 to extend time to issue a claim form

  • The test to be satisfied
  • What a claimant must show
  • Why a court may refuse
  • The latest cases (Canada Square v Potter and Pagden v Fry)

    • Standstill Agreements

    Described by one judge as having an ‘obscure popularity’.

  • Why are standstill agreements ever needed?
  • Are you asking to extend or to suspend the limitation period?
  • Defining ‘the Dispute’ or ‘the Claim’
  • How are standstill agreements brought to an end?

    • Recording of live sessions: Soon after the Learn Live session has taken place you will be able to go back and access the recording - should you wish to revisit the material discussed.
