Litigation

Mills & Co regularly represents clients in litigation in the English High Court.

Most of the firm’s litigation takes place in the High Court in London, where the Admiralty Court and the Commercial Court have expert knowledge of shipping matters.

The firm occasionally, however, brings and defends litigation in the High Court in Newcastle, which can be used to issue “in rem” proceedings against ships, and which has in recent years also featured a Mercantile List, where heavier commercial matters can be heard by judges with relevant experience.

The procedural rules relating to litigation in the High Court were completely revised in April 1999, the former “Rules Of The Supreme Court” being replaced by the “Civil Procedure Rules”.  The firm has kept on top of fast moving developments in the new rules, and their application.
