Former district judge Stephen Gold covers a recent landlord and tenant case that was leapfrogged to the Court of Appeal due to its importance, in this week’s NLJ. The case, Switaj v McClenaghan, concerns a check-out fee.

Lawyers may have heard of The 39 Steps, One Thousand and One Arabian Nights, The Magnificent Seven, and even One Hundred and One Dalmatians, but how about The Tale of 94 Dodgy Divorces? Former district judge Stephen Gold shares his thoughts on this sad story, albeit one with a happy-ish ending, in this week’s NLJ.

Costs rates up; forget the merits; specials interest down; parking ticket escape; tale of 94 dodgy divorces; reporters rule, OK!

As it’s Christmas, and in lieu of frankincense and myrrh, NLJ offers a bumper two pages of Gold this week. Festive Civil Way topics include the bailiff dress code, PP arrears, DAPOs and the personal injury discount rate.

Whiplashes stay painful; PI discount rate gets positive; bailiff dress code; all about Richard; Supreme Court success rates; the Insolvency Battle; domestic abuse newcomer; enforcing PP arrears.
