NLJ columnist Stephen Gold pulls on his wellingtons for this week’s ‘Civil way’, in which he considers new regulations affecting England’s 19,400 tenant farmers, and he doesn’t stop there

Witness sick: ADJOURN; party pregnant: ADJOURN; pre-pack protection; just a fiver to get into court; experts needed on EU Directive.

Costs warning for the non-negotiators

Courts to get Ritzy; negotiate or else; tribunal rules amended; hold the stat demands!; mediation enticer; insolvency moves revealed.
