The Tribunal refused substitution of Amanda Staveley for the LLP, but added her as a respondent and barred withdrawal or dissolution without permission.
The Court ordered that the declaration on substitution be available for implementation at either preliminary or full trial stage, granted permission to appeal without postponing the deadline, ruled that costs of amendments are costs in the case, ordered detailed assessment of costs, and directed Broadfield to pay £120,000 (70%) on account of Claimants' costs.

Lee & Anor v BDB Pitmans LLP & Anor (Re Consequentials) [2025] EWHC 2955 (Ch) (11 November 2025)
The court settled the form of a substitution declaration, granted permission to appeal, declined to delay the appeal timetable, and made costs orders.
Lee & Anor v BDB Pitmans LLP & Anor [2025] EWHC 2881 (Ch) (05 November 2025)
The court refused summary judgment in a solicitors’ liability dispute, holding the claimants had a real prospect of proving novation, estoppel, or acknowledgement.
Century Property was validly assigned the judgment debt and entitled to be substituted as claimant; mandatory injunctions and default provision were just and convenient to enforce the judgment debt against Dr Aldiss' pension fund, given his persistent non-compliance and absence of substantiating evidence for his objections.
