    Commercial Litigation EP27: General update

    In this 27th episode of our series of commercial litigation update podcasts, we give updates on new legislative provisions relating to retained EU law, a decision refusing to allow a case to proceed as an "opt-out" representative actions under CPR 19.8, and a recent case that shows what can happen when parties disregard the rules on the preparation of trial witness statements. This episode is hosted by Maura McIntosh, a professional support consultant in our litigation team, who is joined by Rachel Lidgate, a disputes partner, and John Lee, a senior associate in our disputes team.

    Dispute Resolution Podcast: Exploring dispute resolution choices and Hague Judgments Convention 2019

    In this special edition dispute resolution podcast, we take a practical look at what the UK government's recent ratification of the Hague 2019 Judgments Convention means for in-house counsel choosing between litigation and arbitration for an English law governed contract. The episode draws together the hosts of three of our HSF podcasts – Vanessa Naish and Liz Kantor (arbitration), Maura McIntosh (commercial litigation) and Ceri Morgan (banking litigation) – to discuss the benefits Hague 2019 will bring to the enforcement of English judgments, how that compares to the enforcement position for arbitration awards, and the various factors that need to be weighed in the balance when choosing dispute resolution options.

    The Fraud Files: Decoding the Economic Crime Act EP6: Identification doctrine reform

    Under the so-called identification doctrine, companies could previously only be held criminally liable for a criminal offence requiring a particular mental state (e.g. knowledge, dishonesty etc.) if the mental state of a person representing the company's "directing mind and will" could be attributed to the company. In response to suggestions that the doctrine did not adequately deal with the realities of corporate structures, making it disproportionately difficult to prosecute large organisations for wrongdoing committed by their employees, Parliament enacted the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA 2023), which introduced a new statutory route to attributing criminal liability to a corporate. Under new provisions which came into force in December 2023, a corporate can be liable where a ‘senior manager’, acting with their actual or apparent authority, commits a listed economic crime offence. In this episode, Elizabeth Head, Eamon McCarthy-Keen, and Jessica Chappatte discuss the background to the reforms, the new provisions of the ECCTA 2023, and the implications for businesses of this expanded route to corporate criminal liability. You can also read our briefing on this topic, which is available on our blog: https://www.herbertsmithfreehills.com/notes/fsrandcorpcrime/2023-06/further-uk-corporate-criminal-liability-reform-corporates-may-be-liable-for-actions-of-senior-managers
