Legal Sector Focus The latest news from the sectors that matter to business Law firm demands clarity


Law firm Mills & Reeve is calling for greater clarity on the future of cross-border disputes, following the publication of a Government paper. The Government published a


policy paper outlining its desired legal relationship with the EU following Brexit, with a particular focus on the resolution of cross- border disputes. While its sentiment - to establish


a reciprocal framework similar to the current model, will be welcomed by many, it is currently unclear as to how this can be achieved alongside Theresa May’s desire to dispense with the “direct jurisdiction” of the European Court (ECJ). Creating a system which allows for


simpler and faster resolution of cross- border disputes is of vital importance to Midlands firms with either current, or future plans to export.


Steve Allen: ‘fair and efficient’ dispute resolution needed


The EU is the region’s biggest


trading partner and at present, 47 per cent of exports from the West Midlands are to the continent, worth approximately £13bn to its economy. Steve Allen, partner and


commercial dispute resolution


specialist at Mills & Reeve, said: “If the region is to maintain this current level of trade post-Brexit, achievable and sensible reciprocal measures must be put in place. “Businesses need to be able to


continue trading, assured that if a contract turns sour, there is an international framework that will enable a fair and efficient resolution of the dispute. “Key to this will be ensuring that


any new system will allow judgments obtained in the jurisdiction of one contracting party, to be enforceable in the jurisdiction of other contracting parties.” If Government fails to reach an


agreement on a legal framework, judgments obtained in the English courts may not be enforceable in other EU countries, unless provided for under the domestic legislation of the member state involved.

Video series tackles fraud


Victims from the Midlands feature in a series of videos aimed at stamping out fraud in the region. The Midlands Fraud Forum


(MFF) has joined forces with the Insolvency Service to make the series of 13 minute- long fraud prevention videos, which portray the stories of victims, told by actors. Andrew Herring, senior


associate for Pinsent Masons LLP, the international law firm based in Birmingham who are supporting the videos, said: “Each of the victims give an ‘if only’ message that the victim has learnt the hard way.” “Fraud is arguably one of


today’s major problems and the scale and negative impact of fraud is increasing considerably with new technology. “Our latest campaign called


‘#ifonly’ aims to raise awareness of some of these risks and how to protect against them. We have worked closely with the Insolvency Service to highlight the risks and raise fraud awareness during that time.”
