Members of the Allen & Overy (A&O) and Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft teams acting for different parties in the controversial TXU Europe insolvency case have been told not to leave documents “lying around on their desk”, Legal Week can reveal.

The requirement is one of a series of measures drawn up in the protocol, seen by Legal Week, that was approved by the High Court last month to allow the two firms to continue to act for more than one party in the highly complex insolvency case.
