Leofelis SA and another v Lonsdale Sports Ltd and others [2008] EWCA Civ 640, [2008] All ER (D) 87 (Jul)

In any case where the documentation for an appeal is likely to be substantial, and especially where several related appeals are to proceed together, it is appropriate for economy of documentation to be agreed, if possible, between the parties, and if necessary for relevant directions to be sought from the court.

Parties and their representatives should consider, in co-operation with each other, whether there are ways to make the bundling of documents as convenient as possible for the advocates in the preparation of the appeal as well as for the court hearing the appeal. If such ways can be agreed, a direction by consent can be sought from the court.
