Former district judge Stephen Gold sounds a ‘sanctions alert’ for those filing judicial review applications, in this week’s ‘Civil way’ column

A revised 2024 guide has been published, with 228 pages explaining what the court expects.

NLJ columnist Gold advises caution when naming documents in portals, and covers the use of civil proceedings under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 by a district judge (magistrates’ court) who brought a claim against his brother-in-law.

He tackles limitation periods and claim forms. The Court of Appeal recently delved into this grey area in a case ‘where, in the course of a complicated scenario, the claimant as a litigant in person struggled with claim form e-filing and her effort was rejected’.
