With his front-row seat to the latest announcement on fixed costs, Professor Dominic Regan is well-placed to forecast what comes next, in this week’s NLJ.

He also looks ahead to the costs case of next year, pinpoints the best thing about attending legal conferences, and reveals an ‘astonishing insight’ from Lord Justice Bean in a recent speech.
