The 127th and 129th updates to the CPR are under NLJ columnist Stephen Gold’s microscope in this week’s ‘Civil way’.

He examines the new PD 57A and its statement of best practice on trial witness statements in the Business and Property Courts, as well as providing a rundown of the new small personal injury road traffic claims regime due to arrive at the end of May.

In the family law field, a Financial Remedy Court Organogram has been published, dividing England and Wales into 18 zones and identifying the judges serving in each.
