Spring has well and truly sprung and the days are getting warmer so plenty to look forward to including the latest edition of #ATEMatters, the first in our new LPG branding.
We start the ball rolling this month with a look at a Court of Appeal decision focused on the intrinsic link between Date of Knowledge and Limitation.
The rather baffling attempt of making a 90:10 liability Part 36 offer to obtain a costs advantage in a ‘Holiday Sickness’ claim is next up and a case where the Judge was justifiably unimpressed.
Fundamental Dishonesty has always been a ‘grey’ area however, in Mantey v Ministry of Defence it was pretty ‘cut and dried’.
Rounding off this edition , we take a look at a Court of Appeal decision regarding the strike out of a claim due to non-attendance followed by the failed attempt by the defendants in a multi-track Clinical Negligence case to depart from standard directions
As always, our thanks to David Chalk for his invaluable assistance with #ATEMatters and naturally, please do let us know if you have any queries regarding ATE insurance and/or legal costs funding.
