The dramatic cut and thrust of the court room is set to be transferred to the London stage for one night only.

A group of lawyers from Dibb Lupton Alsop (DLA) are staging a doom-laden production concerning mediation post-Woolf at the Barbican in London on September 30.

In The Spotlight is a cliff-hanging drama – laced with insurance angles – about the environmental disaster and general mayhem that could be wrought by the Millennium Bug on London's Thames Barrier flood defences.

Help arrives in the form of a flock of legal eagles who stage talks to defuse the potentially devastating scenario.

Among the audience will be some illustrious members of the judiciary including Lord Woolf, who will give a curtain-raising speech. Professor Karl Mackie, chief executive of the Centre for Dispute Resolution (CEDR), will give the closing address.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
