‘Relief from Sanctions applications continue to take up a disproportionate amount of court time both in the lower Courts and on appeal. It is rare for a week to go by without some aspect of CPR 3.9 and Denton and others v TH White Ltd and another [2014] EWCA Civ 906 (Denton) being the subject of scrutiny. The all-pervasive nature of Denton has led to such applications being made when arguably it was unnecessary or erroneously applied.’
