Breaking Law webinar: NLJ insider’s guide

Our latest webinar, a masterclass in civil procedure and practice featuring Stephen Gold, author of Breaking Law and NLJ’s Civil Way column is now available at http://bit.ly/2ikHy84

Interviewed by Professor Dominic Regan, Stephen expands on topics including: 

  • a guide to mastering the new pre-action protocol for debt claims which came into effect on 1 October 2017;
  • litigants in person (LiPs) and unfounded proceedings;
  • interest—if you want to claim it you’ve got to plead it.

Stephen also covers court blunders, bailiff and enforcement agent powers, and claims for illegal exercise of them.

NB The webinar is free to view for NLJ subscribers who can sign in using their usual log in details, or it can be purchased via the online registration system.
