Professor Dominic Regan, of City Law School, devotes this week’s NLJ column to holidays―the bad, the good, the miserable and the one with the infinity pool

From tummy cramps to lacklustre yodelers, accident, injury and mis-selling, the reasons for legal action are myriad. Law firm Bott & Co, for example, has specialised in airline delays, and Prof Regan predicts: ‘It is a racing certainty that the summer of 2022 will be a bumper one for the firm.’

It’s not all about the mishaps, though, holiday bliss can be achieved. Prof Regan, a man of impeccable taste, also recommends some excellent hotels in Barcelona, Turin and Venice.
