The Mitchell judgment in very general terms was a long time coming to make the litigation system more efficient than it was before. One of the objects of the Woolf reforms in 1998/99 was to ensure litigation ran more smoothly and quickly. However like with both Woolf and subsequently Mitchell the devil was in the detail and mistakes in interpretation have resulted in plenty of caselaw to make our lawyers' lives that much richer! Life would not be so much fun without errant judgments - LOL!
