Description

On 6 April 2021 Practice Direction 57AC came into force and introduced new rules on interviewing witnesses and drafting trial statements for cases in the Business and Property Courts.

Litigators need to adopt new ways of working to make sure they don't fall foul of the sanctions. This practical course will help you to understand what you can and can't do when interviewing witnesses.

The course uses video reconstructions of an interview with exercises to identify questions which fall foul of the new rules.

Look out for Part 2 of this course which will cover drafting statements.

Duration: 60 minutes
