The only way to resolve this situation is for new and sensible rules to be introduced and for judges to refuse to follow the utterly ridiculous decision of Mitchel and all that has followed. The courts are overwhelmed with budgeting, cases are not being progressed in court because of the delays caused, lawyers are frantically checking orders and fearing strike out at any moment. PII premiums will be huge on renewal and many law firms and lawyers will simply abandon the profession.

This situation is an embarrassment to a system of law once held in high esteem.. The rules were put in place by those that have not a clue about running a practice and have no knowledge or concern for either the Claimant or Defendant.

The only realistic option now for litigants is to abandon the court system and to instead endeavor to arbitrate in a sensible manner
