ADR, Pre-action and Case Analysis

We will be teaching the following parts of the SQE1 Assessment Specification:

Different options for dispute resolution:

• The characteristics of arbitration, mediation and litigation which make them an appropriate mechanism to resolve a dispute.

Resolving a dispute through a civil claim:

• preliminary considerations: limitation, pre-action protocols:
• parties and causes of action
• calculating limitation periods for claims in contract and tort
• Practice Direction – pre-action conduct
• principles and purpose of pre-action protocols governing particular claims and consequences for failure to follow their terms
• applicable law: mechanisms to determine which country’s laws apply to a contractual or tortious claim issued in the courts of England and Wales
• Practice Direction – preliminary considerations for the use of the Welsh language in civil proceedings.

We will finish by practising MCQs on what we have covered.

The Session will be recorded.
