A recent case gives clarity on arbitral awards & stay of execution: Masood Ahmed & Osman Mohammed report

New arbitration law in; October’s CPR treats; needs of a Sch 1 mum; CPR 187th update; covert recordings; good news for shy directors.

In this week's issue of NLJ, Masood Ahmed of the University of Leicester and Osman Mohammed of the University of Birmingham examine the Commercial Court’s decision in Deinon Insurance Brokers LLC v Reen and others [2025] EWHC 1263 (Comm). The court refused a stay of execution on four arbitral awards, reaffirming that enforcement must proceed without delay once statutory challenges under the Arbitration Act 1996 are exhausted

E2 remedied; price marking put back; housing for abuse victims; delayed claim forms; committal put right; protocol claims get a kick; matrimonialisation endorsed

Commission ruling; CoA civil guidance; ‘I am opposed by a spaniel’; SLAPPing good definition; lenders shall enquire.

This month our intrepid insider, Dominic Regan, brings us up to speed with turgid claims, blockbuster judgments, fee spats & judicial elevations

Wording of a deadline; a new type of law firm; the route to an intermediary; small claim: big loss.

Chats on the boundary; owning up to AI in court; joint divorce popular: official; who needs a seal?!

It’s been a slow process, but anti-SLAPP legislation is finally on the statute book (although not yet in force). In this week’s NLJ, Michael Bundock, barrister, dispute resolution, Lexis+AI, explores the potential impact of the new measures, which are designed to stop legitimate comment being stifled by ‘strategic litigation against public participation’ (SLAPP)

Michael Bundock gives a muted welcome to the new rules
