The pitfalls of serving claim forms

Dear readers

For all budding litigators, I would highly recommend reading the excellent Civil Litigation Brief blog by Gordon Exall - http://www.civillitigationbrief.com/

Gordon is a very experienced litigator and barrister and one of the nation's foremost experts on civil litigation.

His latest blog entry is a very useful recap on the dangers to watch out for when serving claim forms and particulars of claim. If this is not done properly (and it is easy to slip up as it seems innocuous when it is not!), then the claim can be struck out. Which means a very angry client and possibly a negligence suit to boot!
