PIB and Howden court case rolls on with hearing set for February 2027
The High Court case centred on PIB accusing Howden of poaching a double digit-strong team moved forward last week with a hearing date set for February next year.
As previously reported, the case was filed by PIB subsidiary Acquinex in January 2025.
The case has been brought against Howden; its managing general agent Dual; founder and CEO David Howden; Dual boss Richard Clapham; and two ex-Acquinex employees – Paul Smith and Adam Love.
At the two-day procedural hearing, a Case Management Conference to help with progress towards trial, the thrust of the arguments covered Acquinex’s application for the disclosure of further documents.
