Latest Dispute Resolution Q&As

Q&As
What will Brexit mean for the UK’s broadcasting sector? How will Brexit affect the UK if it can no longer rely on the EU’s country of origin principle? What options will there be for UK based broadcasters? What issues might broadcasters, looking to relocate to another jurisdiction, face?
Q&As
CPR PD 7A, para 5.1 states that proceedings are ‘brought’ for the purposes of the Limitation Act 1980 on the date the claim form is received by the 'court office'. In a chancery case, must the 'court office' for the purposes of CPR PD 7A, para 5.1, be a Chancery Court or would it be possible to hand deliver the claim form to a County Court (not in the Chancery Division), so that the claim is 'brought', and then await transfer of the case?
Q&As
The limitation period for our client’s claim is due to expire shortly but I am concerned that it might not be possible to engage with the other side and/or issue the claim due to potential coronavirus (COVID-19) related issues (for example, relevant individuals being unwell or the court not operating as usual). How can we ensure that our client’s claim is preserved in these circumstances?
Q&As
A solicitor failed to register a property transfer, which was only discovered 12 years later, when the claimant sought to sell the property. The claimant raised this with the defendant who promised to remedy the negligence by obtaining registration. This never happened. What happens to limitation in these circumstances? Does limitation run from the date of knowledge or can this be extended to run from when the solicitor made the promise to remedy the negligence?
Q&As
How would the court be likely to deal with a claim form where the claimant has not complied with a mandatory tiered dispute resolution procedure under the contract due to limitation?
