Essentials of Pre-Action Disclosure Success - A Guide to Reducing the Costs & Risk of Litigation

Introduction

Protocol compliance is an essential element of case preparation, but what do you do if your opponent withholds vital information?

Sanctions for non-compliance are an option for the court if the claim is issued, but how do you maximise what the CPR has to offer in terms of information gathering and costs recovery in the pre-action stages?

This virtual classroom seminar is for those with some knowledge of the civil litigation process and who wish to broaden their knowledge of the dispute resolution process.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive course will cover the following:

• How you can obtain the information and documents you need to obtain a settlement without the need to issue proceedings will be explained and alternatives to lengthy court processes and delay to get judgment
• The decision making of the courts regarding disclosure applications made pre-action and imposition of sanctions for non-compliance
• With drafted examples and case law discussion, you will learn how to effectively present your case so that you obtain the information you need to save costs by avoiding litigation wherever possible, or how to maximise the options offered by the CPR for the conclusion of claims without trial
• In these days of fixed recoverable costs, this live session examines whether failure to comply with pre-action steps can lead to greater awards for costs and how the pre-action preparation of cases can lead to focussed and cost-efficient litigation
• The latest updates for enforcement of your judgments
