As leaflets go out and posters go up, legislation falls by the wayside. In this week’s NLJ, Professor Dominic Regan, of City Law school, takes stock of the Bills that have ‘bitten the dust’ in the wake of the impending general election, not least the Bill designed to reverse the Supreme Court’s PACCAR decision on third party litigation funding

Fixed recoverable costs for clinical negligence claims up to £25,000 are set to be implemented from October, according to the minutes for the latest Civil Procedure Rule Committee (CPRC) meeting

Dominic Regan brings good news for frustrated juniors, extols the wisdom of Woolf & Jackson, & admires the common-sense approach of the Lady Chief Justice

Exceptions to the default rule on costs in discontinued cases are rare but do exist, explains Jack Ridgway

Happy birthday, Woolfians! It’s been 25 years since the arrival of the Civil Procedure Rules. In this week’s NLJ, Professor Dominic Regan, aka ‘The insider’, pays tribute to the Woolfian attribute of proportionality, and to the Lady Chief Justice (pictured), who 'oozes common sense'

Solicitor attendance at rehabilitation meetings is recoverable in personal injury claims, the Court of Appeal has unanimously held

The seismic PACCAR judgment gave rise to considerable debate, not least its potential to stifle funding for important litigation such as the Post Office Horizon case

Dominic Regan mixes revelations about fixed costs with nods to a tense parlour game, neglected DJs, unwanted elevation & a must-have frisbee

As well as a hot tip from ‘those who know’ on the next judge to be elevated to the Court of Appeal, Professor Dominic Regan covers fixed costs in the intermediate track and the clinical negligence exception, in his NLJ column this week

Definitive guidance on the right to a bill breakdown would be useful, says Dominic Regan

NLJ this week: Employment law’s fine margins

From gender-critical speech to notice periods and incapability dismissals, employment law continues to turn on fine distinctions. In his latest employment law brief for NLJ, Ian Smith of Norwich Law School reviews a cluster of recent decisions, led by Bailey v Stonewall, where the Court of Appeal clarified the limits of third-party liability under the Equality Act

NLJ this week: Promises broken on non-molestation orders?

Non-molestation orders are meant to be the frontline defence against domestic abuse, yet their enforcement often falls short. Writing in NLJ this week, Jeni Kavanagh, Jessica Mortimer and Oliver Kavanagh analyse why the criminalisation of breach has failed to deliver consistent protection

NLJ this week: Assisted dying under the legal microscope

Assisted dying remains one of the most fraught fault lines in English law, where compassion and criminal liability sit uncomfortably close.
