Case Law Update: Beattie Passive Norse Ltd & Anr v Canham Consulting Ltd

Henrietta Jackson-Stops of IPOS Mediation explores how the UK case of Beattie Passive Norse Ltd & Anor v Canham Consulting Ltd highlights the significant disparity between the damages claimed (£3.7m) and awarded (£2,000), along with the high interim costs imposed on the Claimant (£500,000). The judgment also raises key questions about the role of blind bidding as a form of ADR, distinguishing it from mediation and questioning whether it fulfills parties' obligations to attempt settlement before trial.
