Professor Dominic Regan aka The insider cheers the arrival in the House of Lords of a Bill to reverse the effects of PACCAR, in this week’s NLJ

He notes the dire warnings and grim predictions on access to funding following the Supreme Court’s decision last year—hopefully now to be resolved.

Regan writes: The true stroke of genius is clause 1(4), which provides that the amendments are to be treated as always having had effect. Isn’t retrospective legislation wonderful!’

Regan, of City Law School, also relays the latest on fixed recoverable costs and reveals his discovery of ‘the ultimate late settlement of a claim in English legal history’.
