In this week’s Civil way, former district judge Stephen Gold reminds us there’s a lot happening outside of fixed recoverable costs—in fact, ‘an abundance of other stuff which has nothing to do with costs but which might be perceived by the cynical as a lot about nothing

There’s gender neutralising, clarifying, rearranging, simplifying and tinkering. In short, making sure that your practice books become hopelessly out of date’.

Gold covers the letter of request procedure where a person is outside the jurisdiction, as well as digital letters of change, and not one but two recent cases concerning challenges to residential buildings insurance premiums.
