Does Your Pleading Effectively State Your Case and Can You Enforce the Outcome?

Introduction

This virtual classroom seminar examines the way Part 7 and Part 8 claims differ in their presentation and drafting with document examples. It will show you how to make the best use of the information and documents you have when you start or defend your claims.

This live session will also introduce you to the use of the arbitration process, as The Arbitration Act 2025 has now received Royal Assent and is likely to modernise the UK’s arbitration process with the aim of reinforcing Britain’s position as the best place to resolve disputes without having to go to court. A worked example of a claim to enforce an arbitration award using the Part 8 procedure is discussed with the background to how the arbitration process is organised. Leases and commercial agreements commonly include arbitration clauses.

This live session also explains the difference between a mainstream property dispute (and how to set out your case) and when to opt to use the First Tier Tribunal with document examples.

Changes to enforcement of domestic judgments are under discussion and the introduction of Hague 2019 marks the first new agreement to apply in international business enforcement between the UK and the EU since EU Exit. This live session will also introduce you to these changes.
