Regardless of the changes that will occur when the new Business Court is introduced, Chancery and commercial Chancery experts will always be in demand, argues Robert Graham-Campbell
There is a lively debate among lawyers at present concerning the introduction of the new Business Court. While there are many details still to be determined, it will see the Commercial Court and Chancery Division operate from the same building in Fetter Lane in the next few years. Some argue that, in time, this coming-together will remove the organisational division between the two sections and, in so doing, see the terms ‘Chancery’ and ‘commercial’ falling into disuse with the adoption instead of a simpler generic description, for example ‘business law’.
