    • Non-party disclosure orders: the correct application of the test under CPR r.31.17(3)

      23rd Jun 2021

      Dr Tagbo Ilozue summarises Sparkes v London Pension Funds Authority and Leigh Academies Trust [2021] EWHC 1265 (QB), in which Murray J set aside a Master’s Order dismissing an application for non-party disclosure in a fatal mesothelioma claim. The Court saw fit to interfere with the Master’s broad case management discretion because he was wrong in his application of the test to the relevant facts, took into account irrelevant factors, gave insufficient weight to relevant factors, and failed to balance the relevant factors fairly in the scale.
