Cases

Adelson v Associated Newspapers Ltd (CA)

Comment

This decision is concerned with a fairly esoteric area of the law of limitation. After experimenting with some new tests for when permission should be granted to substitute new parties after the expiry of a limitation period, the CA has sought to achieve clarity by reverting to the old RSC test. Nevertheless, in the libel context, the case underlines the importance of naming the correct corporate claimant or claimants at the outset.
