The complexities of present day commercial IT systems mean that there is often a significant gap between buyer expectations and the actual capability, functionality or delivery of the technology.

The significant investment necessary to acquire a new commercial IT system is such that many companies cannot afford to make a mistake. Therefore, recourse to law or, at least, the threat of it, is increasingly likely in the event of supplier non-performance.

CCL as independent consultants with additional experience of the legal process are able to investigate the respective points of view and assess the technology issues prior to issuing instructions. This often avoids not only significant expense but also, in some cases, the unwelcome publicity of a court case.

However, when litigation is unavoidable, CCL also has acquired extensive experience (and success) working as expert witnesses for a number of well respected commercial litigators.

Cases varies enormously but have included:

Hardware and software incompatibility
Satisfactory quality & fitness for purpose
Sale by description claims
Copyright and intellectual property disputes
Failure to agree on specification
Sales commission disputes
Functionality issues arising from original contract or upgrade
Failed implementations
Complete system failures
Hardware and software valuations
Removal or unauthorised use of confidential data
Loss of earnings, both corporate and individual
Email and Internet misuse

Due to the sensitive nature of many IT Litigation cases and client confidentiality, it is not possible to be more specific, therefore, please contact CCL for more details.
