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.

As well as reading the tea leaves for when we might expect the new measures, Prof Regan also spares a thought for employees at the Legal Ombudsman, who ‘must be terrified at the thought of thousands of costs disputes coming their way’ courtesy of the judgment in Belsner v CAM Legal Services.

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.
