- Material uncertainty disclosed
“The conditions that are set out in note 1.2 result in a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “The judgment in the case of Mazur vs Charles Russell Speechlys HC 2025, handed down in September 2025, required CRL to reprioritise aspects of the 2025 Corporate Plan in order to provide guidance to CILEX professionals on the implications of the judgement and to support those CILEX members who want to apply for standalone litigation practice rights.”
- “The transfer of contingency reserves remains outstanding and this amount is therefore not recognised in these financial statements.”
