Jackson reforms three months on

A round-up of some of the court decisions to date

Three months on the Lexis PSL Dispute Resolution team provides a round-up of some of the court decisions to date and looks at what assistance they provide in interpreting the new provisions or highlighting areas where practitioners need to exercise care; at least until a binding Court of Appeal judgment is in place.

They also look at changes already made and consultations commenced to determine whether further changes are required to the new reforms. To read more go to http://bit.ly/111OeIX
