In this week’s Civil Way, Stephen Gold looks ahead to April, when the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 is due to come into force. He covers the rules, costs, fees and mediation

Gold covers the reasonableness of service charges, in light of a recent Court of Appeal case, as well as an update on e-bundling presentation and advice on the merits of ‘pleading light’, as happened in a case where sampling and extrapolation was ruled permissible.
