As the new court term arrives, I'm delighted to bring you the latest edition of Inside Disputes, bringing together insights from across our Disputes team at Mishcon de Reya.
From the first reported case on the "tipping off" offence under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, to the Commercial Court's guidance on the limits of litigation privilege for communications with litigation funders, the articles in this edition showcase the agility of the English courts when dealing with both long-established doctrines and new statutory provisions.
These articles also demonstrate the true breadth of our disputes practice, from a look at what two service charge cases can teach landlords and tenants about strategy and tactics, to what to do when family business succession planning breaks down.
Geopolitical risk continues to dominate the headlines, and you can read about the emerging risks from the war in Iran from UK, US and UAE perspectives, as well as a recent setback in enforcement of Russian sanctions experienced by HMRC.
And of course technology, and AI in particular, continue to raise novel questions for litigators, from the question of how English law should approach novel questions of liability arising from the use of AI tools, to our two-part series on the best way to protect your reputation in the AI era.
I hope you find plenty to interest you. Please do remember to sign up for our mailing list, if you aren't subscribed already, and look out for the invitation to our next Disputes Essentials seminar, where we'll be exploring the impact of AI on litigation in even more depth.
