IN -HOUSE TRAINING
I am not one to flaunt myself but i am available this side of the summer to come visit and deliver bespoke in -house training.
The biggest topics of the moment are
1. The new Part 36 .There are daily incidents of professional negligence based upon the old 2007 Rules. A talk that should pay for itself many times over.
2.Preparing for trial which includes guidance on witness statements , amendment , experts and the dreaded bundles. Also , where a case from 1722 is so useful.
3. Default, sanctions and relief which is nowhere as straightforward as some suggest.
4. Budgeting 2015.
Thank you . You can get me at profregan@icloud.com

DO YOUR CLIENTS RATE YOU ?
I was recently asked by a very large organisation to express an opinion about a big commercial firm based outside London . Why ask me ? The astute reply was that they knew I was heavily involved in training and would have a view about awareness and competence . What had provoked their question was a survey showing that this firm had slipped in some satisfaction survey .
I answered honestly and said that whilst I had provided training for this entity I had not been asked to in the last 2 years . That seemed to confirm their suspicions . Intriguing stuff .

PART 36
The eminent head of training at a major City firm tells me that about half of the supposed Part 36 offers his firm receives are defective ! It is negligent for a claimant to make an invalid offer as it will cost the client and the firm as well .
NEW PART 36 FORM
I am as sorry as I am bewildered to report that the Rules Committee did not get around to signing off a new N242 last Friday. I realise they have a lot on their plate but this ought to have taken a minute . I will keep you posted on progress . Thank you Beverley for the information .

2015 WHITE BOOK
The new edition is accompanied by a nifty Costs paperback .
Be cautious about the hourly rates when budgeting comments at 4.28 , plainly written before the superb judgment of Warby J in YEO 2 months ago.
The Part 36 chapter by Peter Hurst is exquisite and utterly accurate.
