Busy times ahead for Liverpool’s Business and Property Courts

The Business and Property Courts in Liverpool are preparing for an increased caseload in the months to come, with their first full-time judge marking six months in the role.

Neil Cadwallader (pictured) was appointed in November 2020 as a Business and Property Court judge. He is authorised to hear High Court and county court cases, including chancery, circuit commercial and Technology and Construction Court matters. His appointment means that Liverpool is no longer dependent on other cities for the provision of specialist circuit judges to hear such cases.

HHJ Cadwallader commented: ‘It has been pleasing to see an increase in the number of chancery and circuit commercial cases issued in Liverpool. I hope this trend will continue, and that the opportunity for this jurisdiction to serve the Liverpool area in particular will increasingly be taken up.

‘Looking to the future, my hope is that the Business and Property Courts in Liverpool continue to develop at a much faster rate, with a wider variety and larger number of heavyweight cases being heard.’
