Harry and Elliott acted on behalf of Taha Pharmaceuticals in this a high-value product liability claim concerning alleged breach of contract, conspiracy and deceit within the pharmaceutical supply chain. The case was pleaded at over £10M in value.
Prior to Harry and Elliott’s instruction, Taha’s claim had been struck out for failure to comply with an unless order requring them to put down security for costs. Taha then applied for relief from sanctions and subsequently appealed on the basis that payment of the security had been impossible owing to regulatory constraints imposed by the Ministry of Finance in Tunisia.
The permission to appeal hearing turned on whether the regulatrory constraints amounted to a “good reason” under the second limb of Denton and on whether the judge at first instance had correctly applied the third stage of the Denton / CPR 3.9 criteria.
