Article summary

This week we provide analysis on a range of subjects including covering judgements on hourly rates, compound interest and CPR Part 36 as well as adding new content on property disputes and third parties in arbitration. We have also added a new section to our weekly round up — ‘Cases of Interest’. Whilst our bespoke and detailed news analysis covers all of the key cases that change or interpret the law/procedural rules, in this section we briefly highlight additional cases that may be of interest. We continue to focus on providing a roundup of the key news stories for the last week highlighting their practical implications as well as updating our Practice Notes to ensure you are kept up to date.
