Wrongful Interdicts in Scotland - Risks, Remedies & Reflections

Introduction

This webinar will provide a practical and strategic examination of interim interdicts, exploring not only the legal framework and procedural requirements for obtaining such orders, but also the critical question of when they should and should not be pursued. Particular attention will be given to the commercial and legal risks associated with seeking interim interdicts inappropriately.

This webinar will also analyse the developing law on wrongful interdicts, including the remedies available, calculation of prescriptive periods, burden of proof, and the key elements required to establish liability in these actions.

Drawing on the recent and significant case of Martin McGowan v Springfield Properties UK PLC, this webinar will offer valuable insight into how the courts are approaching these issues in practice and the lessons practitioners can take from this important line of litigation.
