Quadrant Chambers is hosting the next seminar in its Commercial series on 9 April, at the Hotel du Vin in Birmingham. The seminar will look at recent changes for those litigating in the commercial courts. Members of Quadrant Chambers will:  

• Summarise the principal features of the new process and the practical ramifications of the two year Disclosure Pilot in the Commercial Court that commenced on 1st January 2019.  How does the new process work? What key features/matters should practitioners be aware of? What are the pros and cons? How is the pilot working in practice? What are the experiences so far?
• Look at the implications of West Ham United v E20 Stadium (No.2) which raised issues relating to the scope of litigation privilege and the grounds upon which the Court might be prepared to “go behind” a claim to privilege and inspect controversial documents.

The programme for the event will be as follows:
