Portland Commercial Court Report 2021

Professor Suzanne Rab has contributed to Portland's ninth annual Commercial Court 2021 Report. In her article, Suzanne reflects on how the courts have adapted to the challenges of COVID-19, in particular through digitisation. She also considers the resilience of the courts in England and Wales during and beyond the pandemic.

The report analyses the 292 judgments from the London Commerical Courts between April 2020 and March 2021 to identify notable trends, such as who uses the courts, why and from where. The report also examines what Brexit may mean for the London courts; how the city measures up in an increasingly competitive international environment; and how COVID-19 is reshaping the English judicial system.
