The case of White v Alder may come to haunt future homeowners. In this week’s Civil Way column, former district judge Stephen Gold has some valuable advice for diligent conveyancing lawyers. Gold’s NLJ column also reports on updates to artificial intelligence (AI) guidance for judges. Could they use AI to help them draft judgments?
Gold writes: ‘Provided the guidelines are followed—ensure accountability and accuracy, be aware of bias, maintain security etc—there is no reason why generative AI could not be a useful secondary tool.’

Gold also covers a recent case on service.RELATED ARTICLES
