• Dispute Resolution - Are we going to see mandatory dispute resolution after the Court of Appeal decision in Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council [2023]?

• Material Contribution - Will the approach to material contribution change after the Court of Appeal decision in Holmes v Poeton Holdings Limited [2023]?

• Secondary Victim Claims - A reminder of where we are on the Paul v Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust [2021] appeal and why it matters.
