Anthony Gold Solicitors' managing partner David Marshall has been appointed to the Civil Procedure Rule Committee as a solicitor member

The committee, chaired by Lord Justice Coulson, is responsible for monitoring and improving the court rules for all types of civil proceedings.

Marshall, who has been with the south London firm since joining as a trainee in 1985, specialises in serious personal injury cases, particularly brain and psychiatric injury. He was an assessor to Lord Justice Jackson’s supplemental review on fixed recoverable costs, and vice-chair of the Civil Justice Council’s working groups on noise-related hearing loss and on lower value clinical negligence claims.

Marshall said: ‘I look forward to using my knowledge and experience of civil law practice to influence and shape civil procedure, in particular with regard to the increasing digitisation of process, already underway through the online court initiative which will be inevitably speeded up as a result of the response to the pandemic.’
