On 22 August 2024, Kate Ottrey of Mabo Chambers chaired a CPD session hosted by the Commercial Bar Association, focusing on oral evidence in-chief under the revised Practice Note SC CC 1 from the Supreme Court's Commercial Court.

Including speakers, Fiona Ryan SC and Liz Ruddle KC, the session addressed the key requirements of paragraph 6.4 of the Practice Note, which calls on commercial barristers to quickly sharpen their skills in preparing and adducing oral evidence in-chief. Drawing on their extensive experience in common law and criminal advocacy, the speakers provided practical guidance to help commercial practitioners confidently approach this essential courtroom skill.
