Created in collaboration with 4 Pump Court. This Checklist highlights several principal matters a responding party ought to review on receiving a Notice of Adjudication. That review includes assessing whether grounds exist for a jurisdictional objection—if they do, the responding party must take particular actions so as not to forfeit its ability to advance the objection (either within the adjudication or later at enforcement). Further direction on jurisdiction can be found in Practice Notes: Grounds for a jurisdictional challenge in an adjudication and Making a jurisdictional challenge. Are there possible grounds to dispute the adjudicator’s jurisdiction? Initial points to consider include: the contract: is there a contract between the parties to the adjudication and has it been properly identified in the Notice of Adjudication? See Practice Note: The Notice of Adjudication (What should the Notice of Adjudication contain?) have the correct contracting parties been stated in the Notice of Adjudication? entitlement to adjudicate: ...

Some updates will stem from regulators, including the Financial Conduct Authority, which is anticipated to finalise guidance on tackling non-financial misconduct. Practitioners should also be mindful of the broader adoption of artificial intelligence, alongside a rise in employees voicing politically sensitive opinions at work, both of which demand vigilance as 2026 approaches.

What are the practical implications of this case? The court emphasised that a committal application is not about any contempt in general, but whether the claimants have proved, to the criminal standard, the particular contempt specified in the application notice. Where no amended notice exists, yet the contempt argued in submissions departs from that notice, appellants are not entitled to advance that alternative case, consistent with the heightened standard of procedural fairness required in such proceedings (para [48]). The court also affirmed the lower court’s conclusion that, where satisfying the criminal standard properly hinges on expert evidence of foreign law, the absence of such expert material is fatal to the application (paras [51]; [58]). Finally, although the language deployed in an affidavit was excessive, within the setting of long-running, vituperative litigation this was insufficient to meet the requirements for indemnity costs. What was the background?...

(Drax v Scottish Power) News analysis: Ben Summerfield, partner at Morrison Foerster, alongside James Wong, associate at Morrison Foerster, review Drax Smart Generation Holdco Ltd v Scottish Power Retail Holdings Ltd [2024] EWCA Civ 477. In Drax, the Court of Appeal assessed what amounts to compliance with a notification clause in a share purchase agreement. Such clauses are routinely included in share purchase agreements and, increasingly, appear across other contractual forms. In essence, notification provisions require that, before one party to the contract may advance a claim against the counterparty, the claimant must deliver a notice of claim to that counterparty. A failure to meet the stipulations of a notification clause within...

Consider as well any additional jurisdictional objections a respondent might advance. The following matters should be reviewed prior to starting any arbitration (among others):...

Context The compulsory purchase regime is founded on the premise that a proprietor of land, or of rights, that are compulsorily taken or disturbed is entitled to be compensated. Consequently, working out the compensation is a central part of the compulsory purchase process; see: Promoting a compulsory purchase order, covering preparation of the order, its supporting documents and the making of the order. This Practice Note sets out the core principles for assessing compensation arising from the compulsory acquisition of an interest in land. Compulsory acquisition must rest on specific statutory authority, whether for taking the land itself or rights in or over it. The Royal Prerogative is reserved to the Crown, and even the Crown typically prefers to expropriate or requisition land under statutory powers. Most acquisitions proceed under Public General Acts, for example the Highways Act 1980 (HiA 1980). The making and confirmation of a compulsory purchase order (CPO) is usually regulated by the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 (ALA 1981). See Practice Note: Sources and limits...

Under section 193 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 Employers are required to inform the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) before issuing any redundancy notices and, in any event: where 20 or more dismissals are contemplated within 90 days, no less than 30 days before the first dismissal takes effect where 100 or more dismissals are contemplated within 90 days, no less than 45 days before the first dismissal takes effect For BEIS notification purposes, the full 30- or 45-day interval must pass before the first dismissal occurs. Notification is made on Form HR1, submitted to The Insolvency Service. For additional details, see Practice Note: Collective redundancy—statutory information and consultation obligations, under the heading Obligation to notify BEIS (Form HR1). As stated in the Advance notification of redundancies: guidance for employers accompanying Form HR1, the notification date is ‘the date on which we receive your completed form’.

This Q&A This Q&A explores the steps administrators should take to contest a landlord’s attempt to forfeit a lease by peaceable re-entry, carried out unaware of an interim moratorium triggered by lodging a notice of intention to appoint administrators (NOI). An NOI is to be lodged by the directors or the company in advance of making an out of court appointment pursuant to Schedule B1, paragraph 22, of the Insolvency Act 1986 (IA 1986). This Q&A does not address a case where no NOI has been lodged. Where a company or its directors intend to appoint an administrator via the out of court route, they begin by filing an NOI, which imposes an interim moratorium under IA 1986, Sch B1, paras 44(2), 44(4). After the NOI is placed before the court, notice must also be served on the ‘prescribed persons’, including any party known to have levied distress against the company or its assets (Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016, SI 2016/1024, r 3.23(4); IA 1986, Sch B1, para...

Case study A landlord serves a section 25 notice under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (LTA 1954), ending the lease on the contractual expiry date and contesting any renewal on ground f. No claim has yet been brought. It is expected, however, that the tenant will start renewal proceedings, without making an interim rent application. The landlord has issued an invoice for the yearly rent, which the lease stipulates is payable in advance, covering the year commencing on the contractual expiry date... Assume for this Q&A that the tenant does issue proceedings, so the lease carries on beyond the contractual expiry date and the tenant stays in occupation, preserving protection under LTA 1954, Pt II... Further assume the parties remain in discussions about whether the tenant will vacate on the notice expiry, and that the lease requires rent to be paid annually in advance...
