Manchester won out against London in a battle of venues for a judicial review concerning a £124.9m penalty, former District Judge Stephen Gold reports in this week’s double-page ‘Civil way’
The judge viewed (Gold paraphrases) ‘that a claim should not default to London just because it was the capital or by reason of some hierarchical perception about the London AC as a national venue or its judges as the A-Team’.
Gold also reports new measures protecting parents-to-be from redundancy. It’s a good time to take your boss to tribunal (so long as you have a case) as employment tribunal awards are going up 8.9% next month. He covers the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, and recounts an unhappy tale in court.
