Professor Dominic Regan
Dominic is widely regarded as a pre-eminent speaker on aspects of Civil Litigation and in a normal year delivers approximately 150 talks around the country to lawyers.
Join Professor Regan in this concise session where he’ll cover the golden rules for witness statements, highlight common mistakes, and guide you on how to produce statements that are compliant and effective every time.
Despite being in place for nearly 11,800 days, the Rules surrounding witness statements are still frequently breached. Just last December, a judge expressed serious concerns about the credibility of statements that were cut and pasted, and in February, Chief Master Cook criticised blatantly non-compliant statements. Judges have the power to disregard witness statements entirely if they don’t comply with Part 32 requirements.
