Former District Judge Stephen Gold reports on a script for judges and magistrates conducting remote hearings, in this week’s Civil Way column

He covers a case in which it was held a defendant may apply for summary judgment without having filed a defence, as well as good news for landlords on provision of an energy performance certificate to tenants before issuing a s 21 notice. The latter case ‘settles an issue which has divided judges and commentators,’ he writes.

Gold also touches on flight bookings, CAFCASS and the publication of a new family law tome.
