About the event

This seminar is also being delivered via webinar

This seminar will be presented by Nathan Landis, Barrister at Francis Burt Chambers, and Aaron McDonald, Managing Director at Pragma Lawyers.

The seminar will be covering:

• The advantages and disadvantages of making a strike out application
• How bad should a pleading be before one makes an application
• The steps for doing this (set out in really quite basic detail, so it is useful for people who haven’t done these before), and a sample set of programming orders
• Management of the common situation where the other side (i.e. the bad pleader) negotiates and agrees to remove the worst parts, but won’t agree to remove the borderline parts
• The likely delay for the overall matter
• Any differences between the different courts
• Usual costs for each of the parties
• The range of costs orders which are regularly made – it would be interesting to consider reported decisions regarding strike out applications in the last year
