Get your skates on if you want to save on fees, is former District Judge Stephen Gold’s message this week, in his Civil Way column. The threatened court fee hike is on its way and could be with us at the end of this month
Gold, always with an eye on value as his name suggests, lists some of the savings to be made, for example, £43 on a divorce application. Elsewhere in his column, he covers a recent case on court fees, MIAM family mediation, and the scrapping of telephone advice for family matters under the Civil Legal Advice scheme.
Gold also covers important points on the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, the legal blogger pilot and a new online procedure for undefended divorce applicants.
