What this session will cover

Partners at CMS and barristers from Essex Court Chambers will debate the most important events of the last 12 months.

The Panel will cover topics including:

  • Does the Dos Santos decision show the Courts are more willing to grant freezing orders? And, if they are, how far can you push the envelope using Broad Idea?
  • The (newish) witness statement and disclosure Practice Directions: avoiding bear traps and putting pressure on your opponents.
  • Has enforcement of overseas orders just become a whole lot harder: Vneshprombank and Servis-Terminal.

The session will be followed by informal networking drinks.
