NLJ this week: Debt, pensions, jobs & other knotty issues

Pensions on divorce, the latest in judicial jobs, and limit changes for debt relief orders, are all in the mix in this week’s ‘Civil way’

NLJ columnist and former district judge Stephen Gold looks at the latest developments in the realm of civil law.

Always adept at steering practitioners to the pertinent details, Gold highlights a particular paragraph in a judgment on pensions earned outside marriage.

Gold also reports on a change in cover colour of an important tome―At a Glance goes turquoise: ‘Essential information for any carrier who wishes to ensure their court apparel does not clash.’ Finally, he offers his own take on a high-profile knotweed case.
