A high-level 'post- BCCI ' working party has been set up to address the challenge of managing complex commercial litigation cases, with members of the Bar taking a leading role in the initial stages of the review.
Mr Justice Richard Aikens will chair the eight-strong committee, announced at the end of last month (23 November), which will seek to draft reforms aimed at speeding up complex commercial litigation.
The group was set up by the commercial court's head judge, Mr Justice David Steel, as an outcome of a commercial court symposium which he hosted in October.
