It seems the campaign for divorce reform has been waged for years if not decades, but has its time finally arrived? Perhaps this summer’s separating couples will get lucky?
Former District Judge Stephen Gold writes: ‘If the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 has not been “commenced” to come into force on 6 April 2022 by the time you end the next page, then I am a large bunch of deteriorating bananas.’
In this week’s Civil way, Gold devotes a page and a half to the long-awaited Act, digging into the practical details and the nitty gritty.
Gold also continues his coverage of civil procedure rules on vulnerable witnesses and parties, a new rule on representation where gang-related violence is alleged, a gap in the rules where the name of a non-expert in an expert report was redacted, and more.
