NLJ this week: Bills & bills

177111

As leaflets go out and posters go up, legislation falls by the wayside. In this week’s NLJ, Professor Dominic Regan, of City Law school, takes stock of the Bills that have ‘bitten the dust’ in the wake of the impending general election, not least the Bill designed to reverse the Supreme Court’s PACCAR decision on third party litigation funding

Regan hears the thoughts of some High Court judges on promotion, as well as looking ahead to two important Supreme Court cases due to be heard this term. One concerns the duties of the police, while the other relates to a solicitor’s bill for payment.

Regan also addresses the question of what should be included in a medical agency fee note.
