Former District Judge Stephen Gold writes: ‘If the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 has not been “commenced” to come into force on 6 April 2022 by the time you end the next page, then I am a large bunch of deteriorating bananas.’
In this week’s Civil way, Gold devotes a page and a half to the long-awaited Act, digging into the practical details and the nitty gritty.
Gold also continues his coverage of civil procedure rules on vulnerable witnesses and parties, a new rule on representation where gang-related violence is alleged, a gap in the rules where the name of a non-expert in an expert report was redacted, and more.
