NLJ this week: Adjournments on the mind

34266
Successfully appealing a trial adjournment refusal ‘is as hard as it gets’, former District Judge Stephen Gold writes in this week’s Civil Way.

He looks at a recent Court of Appeal case where it worked, and the reasons why. In another case, a woman requested an adjournment as she would be eight months pregnant and unable to take an active role in the proceedings.

Gold’s column also covers pre-pack administrations, the £5 court fee, EU retained law and the phrase ‘subject to contract’. Discover Gold at p15.
