Judgment handed down in Lee v BDB Pitmans LLP
On 5 November 2025 judgment was handed down by Caroline Shea KC, sitting as a deputy high court judge, in Lee v BDB Pitmans LLP [2025] EWHC 2881 (Ch), a decision concerning the much-litigated question of the circumstances in which the court can order substitution of a party under CPR r.19.6 after the limitation period has expired. The lengthy and detailed judgment also surveys issues of novation, estoppel and the relatively obscure doctrine of acknowledgment.
Thomas Grant KC led Ryan Turner of Maitland Chambers, instructed by Martin Scott and Sarah Proctor of Milners Solicitors, on behalf of the successful Claimants.
