Session information

Procedural timetable no 1 – topped and tailed: improved case management

Description

Lucy Reed will make the case for a more robust Procedural Order template to include, as encouraged options:

  • A tribunal session before the hearing to discuss the case and flag questions for counsel;
  • Regular short teleconferences with the presiding arbitrator to anticipate, air and decide minor issues;
  • A ‘Kaplan early opening’;
  • Key points in the schedule for the parties to consider settlement/mediation;
  • Brief bullet-point post-hearing submissions on key open points; and
  • Reserve dates for subsequent in-person/telephone deliberations.
