10 h 29 juin 2020 ans - UK LIBEL: JD v NGN & WOOTTON Pre-Trial Ruling DISCLOSURE

Description:

Judgment on 29th June 2020 found that the Claimant had been in breach of the disclosure order, but, since Mr Sherborne, the Claimant’s counsel, had indicated his wish to apply for relief against sanctions, I did not make the declaration which the Defendants had sought.

On 29th June I had also heard an application by the Claimant that Ms Heard should make third party disclosure pursuant to CPR r.31.17. In my judgment of 2nd July, I refused this application.

The UK Pre-Trial Judgements are more like the US Orders or rulings made along the way and prior to trial to sort out points of dispute or in need of clarification or bids to quash the charges ahead of trial.
