Thomas Grant KC is speaking at a breakfast briefing hosted by TL4 disputes on Norwich Pharmacal: A Settled Jurisdiction or Room for Manoeuvre?
Norwich Pharmacal relief remains a vital tool for litigants seeking disclosure from third parties mixed up in frauds, but recent case law continues to shape – and in some cases challenge – its boundaries. With the courts refining how and when such relief may be granted, questions remain as to how settled the jurisdiction truly is.
In this breakfast briefing, Gary Orritt (Rahman Ravelli) and Andrew Barns‑Graham (3 Hare Court ) will discuss the latest developments affecting Norwich Pharmacal applications and consider the key issues litigants must navigate. The panel will explore practical considerations, common pitfalls, and strategic risks, as well as where opportunities may still arise in an evolving legal landscape. With one eye on future developments, the panel intends to cover wider issues to engage the audience on this topical area.
Hosted by Marlon Pinto (AnotherDay), who will open the session and introduce the speakers, this event offers valuable insights for litigators and in‑house counsel involved in disclosure‑driven and investigative litigation. The talk will also feature introductory remarks from Thomas Grant KC.
