Advocates need not rise when the court assembles, if linking remotely, NLJ columnist Stephen Gold explains in this week’s Civil Way

Advocates need not rise when the court assembles, if linking remotely, NLJ columnist Stephen Gold explains in this week’s Civil Way.

Gold outlines a range of practice directions issued in response to the coronavirus, for example, that parties requiring more time can apply for an extended extension time, from a potential 28 days to 56.
