In this podcast, Jack Harding interviews Angus Piper and Mark Whittaker about the provisions of Part 36 of the Civil Procedure Rules.

The discussion is focused in particular on the difference between the new provisions, which came into force on 6th April 2007, and the rules under the old regime. A number of important amendments have been made with the purpose of streamlining the process and addressing perceived weaknesses in the old regime. There is a detailed examination of the new provisions and transitional provisions by the speakers and commentary on the likely effect of the changes.

Angus Piper and Jack Harding are both barristers at 1 Chancery Lane Chambers and Mark Whittaker is a partner at Weightmans solicitors.
