NLJ this week: Civil way...Family pilot, claims track rise, data protection & vaccination opponents

Former District Judge Stephen Gold covers an increase in the small claims track limit for non-road traffic accidents, in Civil Way this week

His coverage includes incidents on the parameters―‘an incident that looks, smells and talks like a road traffic accident but is outside the definition’.

Gold looks at a family court pilot taking place at some seaside locations, as well as investigating why ‘the High Court is fed up with low-value data protection cases and the customary ragbag of heads of claim’. He also covers caselaw concerning a looked after child whose mother opposed vaccination.
