18:00 – 19:30: Clock Watching: Fraud, Limitation and What’s Changed

Limitation is meant to deliver certainty, but recent English cases have challenged how the fraud exception to limitation operates. This session will unpack why knowledge, concealment and mistake have become decisive battlegrounds in English fraud cases by looking through the lens of recent cases dealing with section 32 of the Limitation Act 1980. The session will also compare and contrast how offshore jurisdictions deal with similar fraud related limitation issues.

Speakers:

• Michael Reading, Managing Senior Associate, Pinsent Masons
• Bill Geiringer, Managing Senior Associate, Pinsent Masons
• Kate Henry, Managing Senior Associate, Pinsent Masons
• David Blayney KC, Barrister, Serle Court
• Andrew Chissick, Partner, Walkers Global

8:30 – 10:00: 8:30 – 10:00: A view from the bench – interim remedies, where are fraud lawyers going wrong?

Join us for a breakfast panel discussion, where a sitting judge (Lance Ashworth KC) and senior fraud lawyers will offer a “view from the bench”, examining the mistakes they see fraud lawyers making and what practitioners can do to sharpen their approach.

Interim remedies are among the most powerful tools in the civil fraud lawyers’ toolkit. Freezing orders, search orders, and other urgent injunctive relief can set the tone for the whole case, but they also carry significant risk when they go wrong.

Speakers:

• Elizabeth Jones KC, Serle Court
• Lance Ashworth KC – KC and Deputy High Court Judge, Serle Court
• William Christopher – Partner, Kingsley Napley
• Gareth Bell – Collas Crill, Offshore Asset Recovery Specialist
