Upcoming webinar - Compliance with court rules and orders post-Mitchell: Guidance for in-house lawyers

On Wednesday 16 July 12.45 – 1.45pm BST Chris Bushell, Gregg Rowan and Maura McIntosh will deliver a webinar for Herbert Smith Freehills clients and contacts looking at the court's approach to dealing with procedural deadlines in light of the Mitchell guidance, as very recently clarified by the Court of Appeal in the triple appeal in Denton v TH White Ltd, Decadent Vapours Ltd v Bevan, Utilise TDS Ltd v Davies [2014] EWCA Civ 906 (see post).

In the webinar we will look at the risks arising from the court's tougher approach to compliance following the Jackson reforms and offer practical suggestions for in-house lawyers seeking to navigate the new landscape. The issues we will explore include:

• what to do if you need more time
• what to do if you miss a deadline
• what to do if your opponent is in breach

The webinar is part of our series of “Soundbite” webinars, which are designed to update clients and contacts on the latest developments without having to leave their desks. The webinars can be accessed “live”, with a facility to send in questions by e-mail, or the archived version can be accessed after the event.
