Former district judge Stephen Gold covers the legal issues and remedies where a lawyer makes a harmless error, in this week’s NLJ. Gold notes the court’s view, in the particular case mentioned, that ‘the court should not punish a party for the harmless error of its legal representatives’.
Also in Gold’s Civil Way column this week, he looks at ‘the law of apologies’ following the Ministry of Justice’s recently published response to reforms in this area. He looks ahead to the likely scope of promised legislation on ‘apologies’ in civil issues.
Also covered this week are name-changes for non-binary teenagers, and a clutch of budgetary and procedural CPR changes.RELATED ARTICLES
