Legal representative for P&ID seeks to appeal critical findings against him to the Court of Appeal (P&ID and Seamus Andrews)

Arbitration analysis: The case concerned Seamus Andrew’s application for permission to appeal findings made against him in the High Court severely criticising his conduct. The Court of Appeal refused his application, holding that it was out of time and that permission should have been sought at first instance. The court also found that even if permission had been granted, the appeal would have been dismissed. The case re-states legal practitioner’s obligations in respect of privileged documents, while addressing legal professional ethics more broadly. It also considers the risks inherent in satellite litigation arising from section 68(4) orders and provides insight into appropriate appellate procedure. Written by Tope Adeyemi, barrister and Arbitrator at 33 Bedford Row Chambers.
