A landmark decision in the UK High Court handed down earlier this year found serious allegations of ongoing fraud and forgery by the defendant: COPA v Wright [2024] EWHC 1198 (Ch). A follow up judgment, COPA v Wright [2024] EWHC 1809 (Ch), highlights the potential ramifications for individuals who knowingly mislead and deceive the Court in order to advance their position in legal proceedings.
The recent case of Shallhoub v Johnson [2023] NSWDC 555 is an important reminder that proportionality is a consideration in both the conduct of litigation and the assessment of legal costs to be awarded and paid post litigation.
