The Business and Property Courts in Action: Innovating Dispute Resolution Amid Global Risks
5 Jun
18:00 - 19:30
The Business and Property Courts have demonstrated a strong commitment to innovation in recent years, introducing pilot schemes for disclosure and witness statements, and embracing virtual hearings in response to Covid-19. In this panel discussion, three distinguished judges—Mr Justice David Foxton (Commercial Court), Mr Justice Michael Green (Chancery Division), and Mr Justice David Waksman (Judge in Charge of the Technology & Construction Court)—will explore the future of the English Courts and the types of disputes that are likely to come before them. Equally important is the perspective of court users, which will be highlighted by Nikki Edwards, President of the LSLA and partner at Howard Kennedy, John McElroy, partner at Fieldfisher, Charlotte Hill, partner at Penningtons Manches Cooper and Lois Horne, partner at Macfarlanes, to share their experiences and insights. Please join us for what promises to be a lively and interactive session.
