NLJ this week: Stephen Gold on civil law changes

Former district judge Stephen Gold presents his own cut out and keep (mini) table of special account rates, in this week’s Civil Way, illustrating the rapid pace of change (five changes in one year).

Gold also covers recent caselaw on penal notices, or the lack therof, and a pilot running from 1 December where court officers can make certain allocations and complete standard case management directions.

He also reminds practitioners to dig out their red pen and partake in some important renumbering of practice directions. Gold also covers the latest caselaw on the debt respite scheme.
