Professor Dominic Regan, of City Law School, turns his attention to judges and experts, in this week’s NLJ column. On the importance of experts, it seems a judge can change their mind.

High Court in London or county court in Cardiff? Our columnist recalls a judge’s complaint, and highlights the slow pace of justice in the county courts. He writes: ‘The county court model is broken despite the herculean efforts of district judges in particular to keep things moving.’

Regan also recommends the work of a 5 Essex Chambers silk, about whom ‘I only hear good things’.
