Commercial Dispute Resolution, 13/5/26

Brick Court Chambers’ Sarah Ford KC posited that Waterside failed because the CAT was concerned that the class representative had not adequately addressed the very low potential return to claimants. “In those circumstances, the tribunal’s view was that the cost of benefits didn’t support certification of the claim,” she said, adding that the class representative has been invited to re-file and address these concerns.
