Welcome to the final edition of Clayton Utz Litigation & Dispute Resolution Insights for 2005.
In this edition we'll look at a very hot topic in litigation at the moment - litigation funding arrangements. Although their use has been growing, will that trend continue?
We'll examine two evidence issues: the use and admissibility of expert forensic accounting evidence, and the practical difficulties in proving that communications between client and a third party (who is not an agent or employee of the client) are for the dominant purpose of giving or obtaining legal advice.
We'll also learn what impact boardroom dynamics can have on individual directors' duties, and the latest developments in administrators' and deed administrators' remuneration.
Finally we'd like to wish you season's greetings, and hope you have a relaxing break, so you're ready for the New Year's challenges.
