Further incentives, effective from 31 May, have been put in place to attract qualified legal representatives (QLRs), former district judge Stephen Gold reports in this week’s NLJ ‘Civil way’ column

Gold asks: ‘And from where is the extra dosh coming? The paying Legal Aid Agency just needs to make “minor administrative changes” to “operationalise” the changes. You see, it’s easy if you try.’

Also covered in ‘Civil way’ are case law on tenancy where there was ‘misrepresentation as to intention’, the first meetings of the Online Procedure Rule Committee, and a case on costs recovery in a multi-million catastrophic injury case.
