It’s all happening on 1 October

Pre-Covid notice periods on possession return on 1 October 2021, former District Judge Stephen Gold writes in this week’s Civil Way.

The upshot is it’s back to 14 days to two months. Gold also covers the new Guideline Hourly Rates in use from 1 October, talking practitioners through the three London areas and National 1 and 2 rates for different categories of fee earner.

There’s also a new regulation on corporate insolvency. Gold provides valuable insight into all these complex areas.
