AYEAR IN THE LIFE

摘要

Mr Justice Rupert Jackson, the new judge in charge of the Technology and Construction Court (TCC), has made a few changes since his arrival, writes Kim Franklin. The conclusion of his first year is as good a time as any to review them. Judge Seymour, infamous for his judgment in cases such as CWS v ICL, no longer sits in the TCC. In that case, the judge had found against the claimant retail group, who claimed losses of ￡11 million from the defendant computer company, on the basis that CWS had harboured a festering grievance against ICL and wanted to engineer a breakdown in their commercial relationship.
