Disputes Nightmares: What would you do if your opponent in an ongoing dispute ran out of money?

Posted on 29 September 2025

In our latest Disputes Nightmares digital session, the panel explored the practical and strategic challenges this scenario can create, including:

  • Delays and stall tactics: How to respond when the other side drags their feet, hoping for a miracle. 
  • Increased litigation costs: Managing the extra expense of dealing with a litigant in person. 
  • Settlement delays: How to keep negotiations on track when the other side has no financial incentive. 
  • Enforcement issues: Is it worth pursuing a judgment if there’s nothing to collect? 
  • Setting yourself up for success: Steps you can take to avoid problems in the first place.
