Which judges are tipped for the top jobs? In this week’s 'Insider', Professor Dominic Regan, of City Law School, praises Dame Sue Carr, the next Chief Justice, and reveals how her career could have taken an alternative albeit still high-profile trajectory!

Regan places his bets on a variety of other judges ‘in the ascendancy’—you heard it here first! And speaking of the judicial bee’s knees, which judge is a keen apiarist?

Judges will currently be preparing for their long two-month vacation. As well as the latest on costs, Regan advises those with unissued non-injury cases that it’s ‘now or never’ before the intermediate fixed costs rules arrive on 1 October.

He also pays tribute to the costs specialist and ‘great raconteur’, Michael Cook, who sadly died this month.
