  • Trustlaw Index of Pro Bono 2016
    TRUSTLAW INDEX OF PRO BONO 2016 SPREADING THE PRACTICE OF PRO BONO WORLDWIDE TO DRIVE SOCIAL CHANGE TrustLaw Index of Pro Bono - Regional Analysis Europe The analysis in this section relates to Europe excluding England and Wales. The 2016 Index data shows that pro bono engagement is strong across Europe among both partners and fee earners. Thirty nine law firms with offices in 27 countries across Europe submitted data on their pro bono practices for the 2016 Index, a significant increase from the 31 firms that submitted in 2015. Data for nearly all key indicators suggested growth in individual lawyers’ commitment to pro bono, expansion of the practice across previously unreached jurisdictions and an increasing number of law firms using pro bono as a tool to engage and retain lawyers. While there was a 30 percent increase in the total number of pro bono hours carried out by firms with offices in Europe last year, the average annual pro bono hours carried out by fee earners dropped nominally from 15.9 hours to 15.2 hours. However, findings in both of these years show an appreciable increase from the first year of the Index, when fee earners in European offices did an average of 12.3 hours of pro bono each. Such comparisons suggest a net increase in pro bono contributions since the Index began. In addition, the percentage of fee earners who reported doing 10 or more hours of pro bono work increased in the last year, from 25.1 percent to 26.0 percent. Partner engagement in Europe increased over the last year with partners’ average annual pro bono hours increasing slightly from 10.0 to 10.8 hours and 42.5 percent of partners in European firms contributing some time to pro bono initiatives (representing a 30 percent increase from the 2015 Index).

MR JUSTICE BIRSS MR JUSTICE BIRSS IPCom v HTC Approved Judgment Mr Justice Birss : 1. This judgment deals with an application to strike out part of the claimant’s case in a damages inquiry in a patent action. It can also be characterised as an application for summary judgment on the point in the defendants’ favour. Having heard the argument I formed a clear view that I would strike out part of the claimant’s case. Since it had a major bearing on the directions to be dealt with at the rest of the CMC and on questions of proportionality, I informed the parties then and there, with reasons to follow. These are those reasons. In fact when I announced the decision at the CMC, IPCom then sought a stay of the damages inquiry in the form it would take following my decision.
