TrialView Selected for Complex Competition Appeal Tribunal Case

In high-stakes commercial litigation, particularly cases before the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT), managing confidentiality requirements and large volumes of different types of documentation needs a reliable solution. In this case study, we highlight how TrialView was selected to provide a legal software solution for Fieldfisher in a high-value, multi-party case before the CAT, specifically addressing the management of inner and outer confidentiality rings while also streamlining evidence presentation during the multiple hearings involved in the process.

The Challenge

‍The key challenge Fieldfisher faced in this case was the need to establish and manage complex inner and outer confidentiality rings, which was mandated by the Competition Appeal Tribunal. This unique criteria was needed to control access to a high volume of documents that were shared among multiple parties.

Traditional methods of managing confidentiality rings across numerous parties and a large document portfolio are admin heavy and open to human error, which then limits the efficiency of both case preparation and management.

TrialView's Integrated Solution

TrialView was chosen for its features and capability to be uniquely configured to meet the specific and demanding requirements of CAT cases. Our permissions and security features enabled the creation and rigorous enforcement of the inner and outer confidentiality rings that were required in this case, and ensured that sensitive information was only accessible to authorised individuals within each ring. This made us a valuable asset for all parties involved in this case.

Beyond this, TrialView also provided significant benefits during the hearing phase. Our platform's evidence presentation features are engineered to handle hearings with ease and efficiency and enabled the parties in the case to present the relevant documents in an organised and streamlined way to the Tribunal. This significantly improves the process of both referencing and displaying key evidence, and not only saved valuable time during the proceedings but also made all of the documentation much clearer for all parties to understand.

‍This case effectively demonstrates the power and adaptability of TrialView's litigation software in addressing the unique and often intricate demands of cases before the Competition Appeal Tribunal.
