Procedural Default after April 2013: The Story So Far
1. There have been twelve significant cases since April 2013 which have in some way touched upon procedural default. Mitchell below was heard by the Court of Appeal on 08 11 13 and what appears below is subject to the outcome of that appeal.

2. In summary four issues will be considered, with the focus on Multi-Track cases:
i) Has there in practice been a stricter approach to procedural defaults since April 2013?
ii) Has the fact of procedural default become equally or more important than the effect of the default?
iii) How have Courts dealt after April 2013 with cases which have a procedural history before April 2013?
iv) The application of the new CPR 3.9.
A Stricter Approach?
