Circuit judges have been granted an extension to their powers in family proceedings, as reported by former district judge Stephen Gold in this week’s ‘Civil way’

He writes: ‘It should not take too long to work out who can do it and who cannot.’

Gold highlights some choice takings from the updated KBD guidance on costs management hearings, including witness statements and experts’ rates.

Also in Gold’s NLJ column this week is coverage of an update to Foreign Office guidance on video evidence from abroad in UK court and tribunal cases, an employer’s duty to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace, clarifications on cladding requirements and more e-filing pilots.
