NLJ this week: Gold’s ‘best investment’

Writing in NLJ’s Civil Way this week, columnist DDJ Stephen Gold asks, ‘have you ever tried savaging a peanut?’

This alarming question refers to changes to the special and basic account rates with the Court Funds Office. Gold recommends the judgment debt interest rate as ‘the best investment in town’. Possession, family law cases, flexible tenancy, financial remedy applications and the danger of judges sounding tense during remote hearings also pass beneath the Gold microscope.
