NLJ this week: Why Vos is boss

Professor Dominic Regan explains why he is ‘smitten’ by the Master of the Rolls, Sir Geoffrey Vos, in this week’s NLJ

Regan writes that not since Wayne Rooney stood on his foot in the foyer of Manchester’s Lowry Hotel has he felt so starstruck.

And the reasons for the professor’s admiration? For a start, Sir Geoffrey ‘thinks we have far too many rules’. Not only that, but he may have some interesting thoughts on budgeting. Regan thinks budgeting reform may be on Sir Geoffrey’s agenda. He also asserts Sir Geoffrey ‘is the most focused Master of the Rolls this century’.
