I spent yesterday morning at the Royal Courts watching an interim appeal in a claim put at millions . The dispute was between the Eaton Square property company and a tenant . Two things impressed me and one filled me with dismay.
The Judge was MacDuff J. , a consummate operator .Despite raging toothache he ploughed on and offered to return to finish the appeal after his hour at the dentist.He case managed with his opening words, giving each side an hour to put their submissions.
The appellant was represented by Adam Rosenthal of Falcon Chambers. He will take silk sooner rather than later.Exquisite preparation and presentation.
It was sad to see massive lever arch bundles of documents.My bundle expert estimated that one file (and there were several ) ran to 900 pages. The sooner these are committted to disc the better.
