Gold also covers the Supreme Court’s message to the Court of Appeal on finality, and whether a court can make a Children Act 1989 order for financial provision where the child’s 18th birthday between the date of application and the date of the order.
He looks at ATE insurance policies taken out by solicitors acting on child personal injury claims, something which ‘district judges abhor’, and reveals how long online divorce applications are taking to be issued.
