Speaking at Trinity Chambers' 2024 Business & Property Court Conference held in Newcastle, Business & Property barrister, James McHugh delivered a session entitled:

'Give Me Just A Little More Time'- A Look at Relief from Sanctions

In recognition of the 10th anniversary of the much cited authority of Denton v. TH White Ltd [2014] which shaped the approach taken in relation to relief from sanctions applications, James discusses some of the more recent authorities governing the application of CPR 3.9 and how they ought to effect the approach taken to dealing with applications for Relief from Sanctions.

Breach of Unless Orders
Late Claim Form
Late Filing of Witness Evidence
Unusual Name in Proceedings
Alleged Illness
IT Issues
Injustice of Depriving the Court of Important Evidence
