The extension of fixed recoverable costs is coming, despite some speculation that the project was being abandoned, Professor Dominic Regan of City Law School reveals in this week’s NLJ column, 'The Insider'.

Regan sets the month—he has it in writing from a person in the know. He also covers listing woes in the family court, the myth of parties longing for their ‘day in court’ and the costs case that has left litigation funders in distress.

Regan also looks at the ‘duty of care’ case that is spooking the banks.

Catch up with the latest from The Insider here.
