Haji-Ioannou and others v Frangos and others
[2006] EWCA Civ 1663
CA
6 December 2006
Daily Law Notes Summary
Although non-compliance with a rule, practice direction or court
order was the only jurisdictional requirement for the exercise of
the court’s power in relation to misconduct contained in CPR r
44.14, it would usually be appropriate as a matter of discretion
to consider the extent of any misconduct which had occurred in
the course of such non-compliance. There was no inconsistency
between those provisions and r 47.8.
