Court Of Appeal

The Court of Appeal has recently addressed opinion evidence in numerous cases. Recurring themes have been addressed consistently with the exception of R v T (2010). It is suggested that the rationale in T is not as persuasive as that adopted in other cases. This article advocates that, where appropriate, a Bayesian approach should be adopted. In favouring a Bayesian approach it is suggested that ambiguous phrases such as ‘scientific method’ may not serve courts effectively and judges have been correct, in the majority of cases, to approach opinion evidence in a pragmatic, case-specific fashion. The Court of Appeal warrants credit for emphasising the importance of pre-trial hearings and robust case management.

The Bayesian Approach

The development of the Bayesian approach to the scientific method represents one of the most suggestive and controversial orientations in modern epistemology. Starting from the assumption that, normally, humans think and operate in uncertain conditions, the Bayesian interpretation aims to identify - on the basis on an appropriate probability of the uncertain - the principles that govern cognitive rationality, practical rationality and the relationship between the two. Though this area of epistemological considerations is particularly rich in intertwined background and foreground components, this contribution will provide the necessary elements to critically understand an approach that is seemingly far from any kind of "rule of correspondence" with empirical reality.

Court Of Appeal

Abstract Anti-arbitration injunctions are a controversial issue in the field of international arbitration. While some commentators decry them as an interference with the autonomy and independence of arbitrators, English and other common law courts steadfastly refuse to renounce them entirely. By reference to the framework established in recent decisions of the English Court of Appeal, the article seeks to forge a middle path between making anti-arbitration injunctions available on a discretionary, case management basis and prohibiting them in all cases. An approach that respects both the rights of arbitrators to determine their own jurisdiction and the rights of courts to protect parties from abuse of the arbitral process is advocated.

This chapter discusses the legal principles applicable to appeals from the High Court to the Court of Appeal and appeals from the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) to the Court of Appeal, as well as the extent to which fresh evidence may be adduced in the Court of Appeal. It first considers the general rules about appeals from the High Court to the Court of Appeal, along with the statutory basis of the Court of Appeal’s power to hear appeals from the High Court. Other issues such as appellant’s notice, respondent’s statement of objection, appeals against case management decisions, and grounds for appeal are also examined. The chapter proceeds by analysing the procedure and grounds for appeal from the CAT to the Court of Appeal, before concluding with an assessment of the conditions that must be met to justify the reception of fresh evidence or a new trial in the Court of Appeal.

The insolvent collapse of the Lehman Brothers group imposed unprecedented strains on the legal and regulatory systems of all the countries where its main business was based. This chapter’s author lived, during a period spanning 2009–2012, in the eye of this storm (in the respect that it has affected England). The author was the judge in charge, at least of the case management, since early on in the litigation following the collapse of the numerous applications for directions made by the administrators of Lehman Brothers International Europe (LBIE), the main hub company for Lehman group business in Europe, and one of the group’s three main trading companies worldwide. He was the first instance trial judge for all those applications, except the first, which was dealt with (to the complete satisfaction of the Court of Appeal) by Mr Justice Blackburne before his retirement. The amounts at stake were, by comparison with anything in which a lawyer is ordinarily involved, on the bench or at the bar, truly astonishing.

Language Deficits

Speech-language evaluation reports from many institutions present age-equivalent scores as the evidence for speech-language deficits. Yet, the value and interpretation of this measurement criterion requires clinical scrutiny. This article reviews the concept and derivation of age-equivalent scores and presents arguments against their use in case management decisions.
