ATEMatters November 2021

With the nights drawing in and the weather on the turn, everyone needs something to look forward to.  Luckily, LPG have come to the rescue with the latest edition of ATE Matters! A real mixed bag this month starting with some guidance on Practice Direction 57AC.  Our offering on Part 36 is well worth a read especially given the resulting 30% decrease in costs awarded.  Litigation privilege comes under the spotlight in Scipharm Sarl v Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to determine the disclosure of solicitor attendance notes.  The last two this month will be of interest to any of you or your colleagues involved with injury work.  Fundamental dishonesty has always been a ‘grey’ area ever since the introduction of the LASPO act and our next update highlights just how muddy the waters can be.  Finally, an interesting case dealing with an accident abroad and the ability to serve out of jurisdiction.

As always, do let us know if you have any comments, queries or just want to know more about ATE insurance and/or litigation funding.

Stay safe out there.
