NLJ this week: The inside track on elevations, judges and clinical negligence

158889
As well as a hot tip from ‘those who know’ on the next judge to be elevated to the Court of Appeal, Professor Dominic Regan covers fixed costs in the intermediate track and the clinical negligence exception, in his NLJ column this week

The insider looks ahead to 6 April when more regulations take effect. Regan looks at the exception where a defendant ‘admitted both breach of duty and causation’.

Regan, of City Law School, also offers some personal feedback on lawyerly marketing freebies—or should that read frisbees? He also provides commentary on a recent seven-justice Supreme Court case, and laments the lack of praise for the work of a district judge.
