Andrew

Thank you for your email.

T have spoken to David and I’m afraid that due to his other commitments, including potential hearings
outside the jurisdiction, he is unable to take on anything new at the moment. If you, or Amy would like me
to look at other options within chambers do let me know.

Kind regards

Adam

Adam

Hope you are well?

We are running a huge piece of Group Litigation and have just received a draft Judgment that it not good for my client.
We have two silks currently engaged (David Cavender and Tony Robinson at OEC) and both consider that there is a
possibility of a recusal application against the Judge on the grounds that he lacks impartiality.

That is obviously the nuclear option!

The client would like a second opinion, plus if it goes ahead it would probably like the application to be made by a new
silk who's independent from the current team.

By any chance, is Lord Pannick available in the next week or so? We'll need to move urgently for obvious reasons.

I appreciate that you will likely get lots of people asking for David, but trust me, this is a big one. We're going to have
appeals flying off in all directions on a some major points of law. It's all in the contract / commercial space. Our client
is the Post Office.

I'm about to go back into Court today (we're mid-way through the second trial in the same matter!). Would you mind
liaising with Amy copied?

Thanks
Andy
