NLJ this week: Stephen Gold on procedure, hotel courts & the defence of tender before claim

With civil and family courts sitting at the Hilton and Holiday Inn hotels, former District Judge Stephen Gold consults the Tripadvisor Court Accommodation Reports and finds some unfavourable reviews, in this week’s Civil Way

On a more serious note, Gold covers the latest on possession notices for secure tenancies, the disclosure pilot and contempt applications. Recent Court of Appeal caselaw on the defence of tender before claim also comes under his scrutiny.

Gold unpacks his suitcase here.
