NLJ this week: Bricks, wheels, cards

Is it bye bye Right to Buy? In this week’s 'Civil Way', former district judge Stephen Gold looks at changes to the discounts for secure tenants.

Gold also ponders whether a bonanza of county court claims may be on the way following the recent Court of Appeal ruling on secret commission fees for car dealers? Or will the case go all the way to the Supreme Court? He writes: ‘Even non-car credit agreements may be impacted.’

Gold also muses on the latest twists and turns of Walter Merricks' consumer claim against Mastercard, where costs orders have been made.
