Former District Judge Stephen Gold puts the Christmas tree decorating to one side and surveys the latest legal developments in Civil Way this week, covering the enforcement of debts, or rather who pays the fees for it, as well as the question of success fees in an inheritance battle
Divorce petitions typically rise in number once the festive season ends―Gold looks ahead to the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, on track for implementation in April 2022. He also covers the ‘shy assignee suing for debt’, tenants delivering blows to landlords, and more.
