On the 20 May 2015 at Lincoln’s Inn BILA is holding one of its extremely popular mock trials. This year we will explore the legal and practical issues that could arise out of the new regime being brought in by the Insurance Act 2015.
As usual we have top barristers involved: participants will include;
- Alistair Schaff QC (7 King’s Bench Walk)
- Harry Wright (7 King’s Bench Walk)
- Derrick Dale QC (Fountain Court Chambers)
- Ben Lynch (Devereux Chambers)
We are honoured by Lord Mance’s kind agreement to preside as the judge. Previous BILA mock trials have proved to be exceptionally popular and are quickly booked out – often with long waiting lists.
The ticket price includes attendance at the mock trial and a canapé reception. Prices are as follows:
£90 BILA members
£150 BILA non-members (this price includes membership of BILA for the remainder of the subscription year).
