Remember that ‘the warehousing of a claim will get you into trouble’, writes former district judge Stephen Gold in this week’s NLJ
As Gold highlights, a recent case in the Chancery Division serves as a reminder—the judge ‘held that strike out remained the proportionate sanction unless compelling reasons to the contrary were shown’.
Gold’s ‘Civil way’ column also covers a code of practice on ‘fire and rehire’, which comes into effect next month, secondary legislation on gender recognition, and the case of an insurance claimant who Googled his insurer but rang a claims management company instead as that was the first number that came up in the search results.
A flurry of family law changes and a technical hitch in the online divorce portal complete this ‘Civil way’.
