Courts
As more court space is found in the Rolls Building, the future location of the Central London County Court remains uncertain.
David Greene, president of the London Solicitors Litigation Association (LSLA), says that the extra court space is progress towards making London a showpiece for the resolution of both domestic and international disputes. “The LSLA has been strident in its support for the campaign to make London the jurisdiction of choice. That can only be fulfilled if we have facilities of an international standard,” Greene says.
Greene expressed disappointment however at the failure to secure the future location of the Central London County Court: “This court is one of the busiest in London and it is essential that those who use it have some certainty as to the future facilities.”
“At the moment that remains very much up in the air and we are certainly pressing for an early resolution to the problem,” he adds.
Rolls Building, described as the world’s biggest dedicated business court, is being built on Fetter Lane, close to the Royal Courts of Justice.
