In future there will be less money for creditors and more money for the official receiver—this outrage is exposed by NLJ columnist and former district judge Stephen Gold, in this week’s Civil Way.

Continuing this money theme, he suggests ‘some redrafting is going on around chambers’ following Lord Justice Nugee’s judgment in the Glaser KC v Atay case regarding counsel’s fees.

Gold also references the ‘hideous’ small claims paper determination pilot, a change to listing arrangements in the employment tribunal and a notable financial remedies decision.
