NLJ this week: The Insider on judges, civil justice & the ghost of Christmas future

201004
Whether it’s a call to ‘bring me more Sir Geoffreys’ or a prediction gleaned from assorted discussions that ‘a series of reforms look certain for 2025’ (read the column to find out more), The Insider aka Professor Dominic Regan, of City Law School, serves the perfect Christmas cocktail of light-hearted stories and serious topics in his column this week.

Regan highlights various civil justice issues that need fixing, including ‘debt recovery chancers’ who buy up debt on the cheap in order to profit from recoveries. He reflects on the Post Office Inquiry, as well as sharing the latest news and musings in legal circles.
