Peters & Peters

Claim discontinued against Peters & Peters’ client in complex, multi-party proceedings

In a case in the Queen’s Bench Division advanced by the Claimant against 11 different defendants, with a total value exceeding US$11 million, Peters & Peters secured the discontinuance of the claim against our client, the ninth defendant. The Claimant has obtained judgement against all other defendants. Peters & Peters however put forward a robust defence on behalf of our client, and the Claimant abandoned the claim against her shortly before trial and will have to pay her legal costs. Partner Jason Woodland and associate Nikita Damburgs acted. Judgment available at the following link https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/QB/2020/81.html
