NLJ this week: Fees, fees, clinical negligence and sanctions

Former district judge Stephen Gold reports on what’s coming and what’s going (tribunal fees, child support fee) in this week’s Civil Way

Is there a hint of cynicism in Gold’s comment, ‘Consultation closes on 25 March so expect a draft response by breakfast the next day’?

Gold covers the fact the ‘much heralded change in admitted clinical negligence claim allocation has come about… To escape the multi-track, the admission will have to come in the defendant’s pre-action protocol response letter’.

He also considers changes to the makeup of employment tribunals, case management conferences in the intermediate track, and sanctions for late timekeeping in court.
