NLJ this week: Not enough judges, too many judgments?

A large number of civil, family and tribunal fees are about to go up (and a couple of dozen will go down). In this week’s NLJ, former district judge Stephen Gold crunches the numbers ahead of 1 April. As Gold writes, ‘issue before then and clients will be much impressed’.

Gold also questions a ‘ridiculously’ high crack rate at the Technology and Construction Court, as well as reporting the latest changes to the damages claim pilot and commenting on a neighbourly dispute.

Finally, when should a judgment be published and what makes it citable?
