520 _aBriefly reviews three recent cases looking at the impact of the new Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) on subcontract litigation. In Stevens v Gullis and another an expert witness was criticised for being too adversarial; in Burrells Wharf Freeholds Ltd v Galliard Homes Ltd an unwillingness to share information was criticised; and in Mars UK Ltd v Teknowledge Ltd a claim with limited prospects of success substantially reduced the award. Argues that the reforms are enabling the courts to deal with cases justly.
