Open invitation to Non PI Lawyers to join the Dispute Resolution Committee

Currently the Dispute Resolution Committee has 26 members and is one of Liverpool Law Society’s largest and most active committees. The committee was renamed last year after being known as the Civil Litigation Committee for many years as the area of law it covers is wider than this. The areas are from both Claimant and Defendant perspectives and they include:

Personal Injury
Commercial Litigation
Mediation
Debt Work
Insolvency
Housing

It is hoped the new name would attract more non PI lawyers to sit on the committee.

Many solicitors use the courts to act on behalf of their clients and the courts’ business is a main topic of discussion in this committee (as well as contributing to the annual PI & Costs Conferences). Problems are highlighted and brought to the attention of those at H.C.M.S for resolution. Also ‘open’ consultation papers are discussed and actioned by those attending committee meetings.

The Chair, Glenys Hunt would like non PI practitioners to attend the meetings and offer some of their invaluable input.

All you need to do to be co-opted onto the committee is to write to Mrs Glenys Hunt at committees@liverpoollawsociety.org.uk. Your name will then be forwarded to the General Committee for approval. Once approved for co-option, your details will be added onto the Committee’s email distribution list so that you receive notifications for future meetings.

We look forward to hearing from you.
