DEFAULT AND SANCTIONS CASES IN THE COURTS IN 2025: WEBINAR 12th NOVEMBER 2025: LOOKING AT MISTAKES IN LITIGATION TO AVOID REPEATS NEXT YEAR…

It is that time of year when we can look back and reflect on events of the previous 12 months. Here we are looking at what lessons can be learnt from cases on default and sanctions since November 2024.  As ever the aim is to make sure that any mistakes are not repeated (at least not by those who attend the webinar).  Booking details are available here.

(A webinar designed to stop you making mistakes in the future).

THE WEBINAR

This webinar is a review of those cases where litigants (and their lawyers) have fallen foul of the rules in 2025.

It looks at cases where parties have required relief from sanctions and the practical steps that lawyers can take to ensure that these problems are not repeated in their own practices.

• Wasted costs orders against solicitors and counsel
  • Why were they made?
  • Could they have been avoided
• Serving documents late, the consequences that follow
• Serving a skeleton argument late
• Serving Particulars of Claim late
• Filing an acknowledgement of service late
• Striking out pleadings and relief from sanctions
• Breaching a peremptory order and the costs consequences
• Why a £1 million action was automatically struck out not reinstated
• Relief from sanctions refused when a costs budget was served late
• Failing to serve witness evidence and relief from sanctions
• Why the court refused to adjourn an application so that a claimant could apply for relief from sanctions
