NLJ columnist DDJ Stephen Gold turns detective this week to uncover the going rates for silks, ex-judges and solicitors in the flourishing market of family law arbitration

Gold also covers recent cases and guidance on challenges to an arbitral award in a family case, in ‘Civil way’ this week, as well as the right to a fair trial, a test case regarding a council overcharging its tenants for their water, flexible tenancy and new regulations for owners of caravan sites―local authorities have been given additional powers to ensure owners are ‘fit and proper persons’ and have until July to establish a ‘fit and proper’ register.
