RELIEF FROM SANCTIONS: THE CASES: AN IMPRESSIVE AND THEMATIC LIST
I am grateful to barrister Matthew White for drawing my attention to an impressive table that he has prepared with his colleague Marcus Coates-Walker. They have set out, in tabular form, the post-Denton cases on relief from sanctions, analysing each case by subject area.
RELIEF FROM SANCTIONS: A SUMMARY OF CASES

- Pre-action
- Costs budgets
- Pleadings
- Disclosure
- Witness statements
- Expert evidence
- Pre-trial
- Trial
- Appeals
- Costs
- Overarching principles
- Miscellaneous
This is 96 pages of very useful information. It provides a useful insight both into cases but also the source of problems. There are, for instance, a surprisingly large number of cases relating to default and pleadings. Equally worryingly is the number of cases that relate to late service of witness evidence.
