An extra bit is being added to case citations to show the pecking order of the judges concerned. Former district judge Stephen Gold has the details, in his ‘Civil way’ column in this week’s NLJ
Speaking of hierarchies, Gold recommends readers download the recently published Equal Treatment Bench Book. ‘Written by judges, primarily for judges, this is the first major revision for three years,’ he writes.
Gold also touches on what can and can’t be done if the other side refuses to pay costs, relays a cautionary tale for solicitors instructing experts, and reminds readers they must remember to tip restaurant staff properly from October onwards.
In a double helping of travel law, he provides an update on the Sherman Arctic cruise case, as well as highlighting that a shortage of pilots may not be ‘extraordinary’ when it comes to paying compensation for flight delays.
