6th August 2019

Contributor: Christopher Buckingham 

The Court of Appeal today held that litigants can be compelled to attend an Early Neutral Evaluation without their consent (CPR 3.1(2)(m)), overruling the recent decision of Parker J in Lomax v Lomax. Halsey v Milton Keynes General NHS Trust distinguished and the Court Guides disapproved. Christopher appeared for the successful Appellant instructed by Maria Lonergan of KBL Solicitors.
