Presented by Nicola Kiely, Partner at Comyn Kelleher Tobin, and Stephen Devine BL.
This CPD webinar targets litigation solicitors in Ireland, aiming to demystify the discovery process. It delves into the recent Kelly Report's impact on civil justice administration and analyzes the landmark case Tobin v Minister for Justice.
Following the introduction, the webinar delves into significant case law post-Tobin. Key legal principles and implications of recent cases like Egan v. Castlerea Co-operative Livestock Mart Ltd and Ryan v. Dengrove DAC will be reviewed. The analysis extends to Micks-Wallace (a minor) v Dunne, McCorry v. McCorry, and the very recent Pop v. Foristal & Anor.
By examining these cases, the webinar equips solicitors with a strong understanding of the current legal landscape surrounding discovery. It then explores the concept of interrogatories, a method sometimes used as an alternative to traditional discovery practices in legal proceedings.
Through this comprehensive approach, "Discovery Demystified" empowers litigation solicitors with the knowledge and strategies to effectively navigate discovery processes in Irish civil litigation.
