In this week’s 'Civil Way', former District Judge Stephen Gold shines his light on the debt respite scheme, specifically a case where a debtor benefited from a mental health crisis moratorium, rendering the eviction and sale of a flat null and void

He covers the shape-shifting damages claim portal, case law on vehicle hire insurance, and the highly unusual incident of an order for security costs in a family case. Gold writes: ‘It could have been the first such case ever: certainly, the first to be reported.’
