Professor Dominic Regan of City Law School and the Frenkel Topping Group—AKA The insider—crowns Mazur v Charles Russell Speechlys LLP as his case of 2025 in his latest column for NLJ. The High Court’s decision—that non-authorised employees cannot conduct litigation, even under supervision—has sent shockwaves through the profession. Regan calls it the year’s defining moment for civil practitioners and reproduces a ‘cut-out-and-keep’ summary of key rulings from Mr Justice Sheldon
He also highlights the £1.4bn Danish tax fraud case Skatteforvaltningen v Solo Capital Partners LLP, the ever-unfolding Koza litigation saga, and Mr Justice Martin Spencer’s sage advice on expert evidence.
From cancelled conferences to new cost texts and judicial musings on law firm names, Regan signs off with wit—and a warning that civil practice has rarely looked so unpredictable.
