This area covers abuse of process, misrepresentation, suppression of evidence, and other improper behaviour in court proceedings, and the sanctions courts can impose. A solicitor working in litigation misconduct handles applications for relief from sanctions, seeks costs orders, and assists with investigations by the court into misconduct. They review offending documents, draft pleadings and notices, and liaise with the court, the opposing party, and regulators to protect the integrity of the process.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor identifies procedural faults, governs evidence handling, sanctions, contempt, and abuse of process; they draft detailed applications, argue about proportionality and integrity, manage disclosure disputes, and coordinate with investigators and regulators to ensure proper conduct, including seeking penalties or sanctions where appropriate.
