Biography

Jason has over 15 years’ experience working in the eDiscovery and digital forensics industry. In the early stages of litigation, arbitration or an investigation, Jason works alongside the legal team and manages the processing, review and hosting of data and documentation using our in-house eDisclosure platform, as well as other platforms hosted by external providers. Once a fully searchable and de-duplicated database of documents is available, and using advanced analytics and artificial intelligence such as predictive coding, Jason works with the legal team and client to prioritise the review of the documents most likely to be of relevance to the dispute or investigation.

Jason has worked on a wide range of cases from asset tracing to multi-party and multi-jurisdictional fraud investigations to follow-on damages claims. This also includes working on the high profile BCA Trading case where predictive coding was used to conduct a substantial document review exercise. In addition to this, Jason has a strong technical background, which includes undertaking tasks such as data collections in other countries and manipulation of 3rd party data. Jason is also a regular speaker at eDiscovery and digital forensics events.

Financing losses and interest - simple pleasures or compounding the misery?

It has long been a mystery to economists, accountants and business people why lawyers have regard to simple interest in commercial cases, in circumstances where companies generally do not (and cannot) borrow money on a simple interest basis. Despite compound interest having been awarded and endorsed in Sempra Metals more than 15 years ago, it is still common for claimants to claim, and for UK courts to award, interest on a simple basis. The Competition Appeal Tribunal’s landmark judgment in Royal Mail v DAF Trucks provides a ringing endorsement of the principles laid down in Sempra Metals and provides insight as to what a claimant is required to prove to successfully claim compound interest.

The pandemic is driving technology’s takeover of legal hearings

COVID-19 has catalysed the re-examination of the traditional operation of the legal sector and, in particular, the technology required to facilitate the conduct and resolution of disputes. Most conspicuously, this has been shown through the move toward virtual hearings before Courts and regulators.
