The more the Courts chip away at Mitchell the more the whole legal position in relation to it will become utterly confused and a rule change will have to step in to stop this nonsense and all the satellite litigation it will otherwise cause. Shame frankly we had to go through this rigmarole in the first place but these sort of draconian strike outs have form - remember the automatic directions and the strike out rule which was applied even if the Court document gave a different date from the one the solicitors had to work out for themselves. Can we now have our overriding objective back please and bring this rule change pantomime to an end so that decisions can be based on evidence rather than bureaucratic compliance.
