SACRILEGE

If you are due at the beautiful Mayor’s and City of London Court, leave the Green Book behind so that you can accommodate making off with a brick or two (only joking, officer). They are closing it down in favour of a new 18-court complex (to include five county courtrooms) to be ready for 2026.


LATEST ABUSE

The cross-examination provisions in ss 65/6 of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 (see Civil way, NLJ 1 July 2022, p15) were commenced on 21 July 2022 by SI 2022/840.


COLOURING BOOK

Pea green (so I am advised). £80 which is a below inflation rise of 6.66%. Produced by Class Legal for the Family Bar Association. I am on about the 2022/3 edition of the just published ‘At a Glance’, of course. May I suggest for next year’s cover, an amalgam of all the colours that have been used since 1992 and a vomit bag to accompany?
