Highlights

In session 1 we looked at how to get your claim off the ground. In session 2,  we focused on how to (and how not to) present your evidence to maximise your chances of winning your case. 

For this final session, our panellists will discuss the top do's and don'ts when preparing for trial, and what to look out for when it comes to hand down.

  • Preparing for trial and at trial
  • Receipt of the draft judgment
  • Hand down
