2019 Seminar Series: @personsunknown: Service in the digital age

There are an increasing number of cases of protestors, urban explorers and other trespassers occupying and disrupting valuable activity on non-residential land. These present challenges that require creative thinking from litigators: identifying groups of trespassers as parties, service of proceedings via social media, obtaining removal from the internet of videos that might incite future trespass, and overcoming human rights defences based on freedom of expression. This seminar draws on Chambers’ recent experience with high profi e cases involving fracking protesters, hunt saboteurs, and urban explorers and presents a practical guide to resolving these cases. It will also examine the implications of the recent Supreme Court Decisions in Cameron v Liverpool Victoria Insurance and UKI (Kingsway) v Westminster CC.

The seminar will be led by Mark Galtrey and Imogen Dodds.
