NLJ this week: Judicious Gold is on the money

In future there will be less money for creditors and more money for the official receiver—this outrage is exposed by NLJ columnist and former district judge Stephen Gold, in this week’s Civil Way.

Gold also references the ‘hideous’ small claims paper determination pilot, a change to listing arrangements in the employment tribunal and a notable financial remedies decision.

Detection, investigation and prosecution all require improvement, while different fraud types demand tailored responses.
