Early disclosure in the Business and Property Courts: a Practitioner's Guide

 

William Edwards KC, Lisa Lacob, Gretal Scott, 3 Veralum Buildings

 

Is Initial Disclosure a mirage? Those litigating high-value matters in the Business & Property Courts are well aware that Initial Disclosure is routinely dispensed with. Does the Practice Direction therefore leave the parties with no fall-back until after the Case Management Conference? Our speakers will argue the opposite, addressing the  circumstances in which the Business and Property Courts will order disclosure at an early stage (pre-action and pre-CMC), covering the relevant legal principles, practical tips, and strategic pointers from recent case law.
