A top-level, post-BCCI commercial litigation working party, chaired by the judge in charge of the commercial court Mr Justice Aikens, is to lay out its proposals in an ambitious bid to reform the way complex cases are managed.
The nine-strong group, which includes senior Bar figures Mrs Justice Gloster and chairman of the Commercial Bar Robin Knowles, will next month lay out its plans which include calling for greater use of court sanctions by judges, in a bid to ward off escalating legal costs in large commercial litigation.
