In this 24th episode of our series of commercial litigation update podcasts, we look at the Civil Justice Council's review of the litigation sector, a recent development in a case on representative actions, an important recent Supreme Court decision on force majeure clauses, and a couple of cases on privilege and disclosure. This episode is hosted by Maura McIntosh, a professional support consultant in our litigation team, who is joined by Emma Deas, a disputes partner, and Charlotte Benton, a senior associate in our disputes team.
