Former District Judge Stephen Gold delivers the goods in this week’s Civil way, with the latest on a family judge’s role in steering ‘warring parties’ away from court and into the hands of less adversarially focused professionals
Gold writes: ‘The Churchill decision on NCDR [non-court-dispute-resolution] is not to be thought as being of limited relevance to family proceedings. To make that assumption was unwise.’
His column also covers an extension to a family pilot, a rise in the compensation limit from £15,000 to £430,000 for Financial Ombudsman Service complaints, a change to the paternity leave provisions, and RAAC work at the courts in Medway, which means it’s a case of all rise at the Maidstone Orida Hotel.RELATED ARTICLES
