In this ninth episode of our series of commercial litigation update podcasts, we give a brief update on developments relating to Brexit, and discuss some recent cases on factual witness and expert evidence. We also look at a recent Civil Justice Council report on compulsory ADR and finally we discuss an important Supreme Court decision on the scope of a defendant's duty of care in a professional negligence case. This episode is hosted by Maura McIntosh, a professional support consultant in our litigation team, who is joined by Jan O'Neill, a professional support lawyer in our litigation team, and Ceri Morgan, a professional support consultant in our banking litigation team.
