American Leisure Group Ltd v Olswang LLP
[2015] EWHC 629 (Ch)
Key Principle
The jurisdiction under CPR 19.5(3)(a) to substitute a party named by mistake after the end of the limitation period is narrow: a claimant who issues proceedings on the eve of limitation but mis-names the defendant runs a serious risk of being refused substitution of the correct defendant.
