NLJ this week: Down the farm & in business with Gold (Civil way)

NLJ columnist Stephen Gold pulls on his wellingtons for this week’s ‘Civil way’, in which he considers new regulations affecting England’s 19,400 tenant farmers, and he doesn’t stop there

Fee-paid judges have been discovered logging in with judicial emails while acting as practitioners, no doubt to impress clients or even tout for business. Meanwhile, other judges have been hearing cases in the Holiday Inn.

Gold also covers the ban on enforcement action for non-payment of rent of business premises―a temporary reprieve that has now been extended to March 2022―as well as protective provisions on insolvency.

He shares his insight into developments in divorce law, which have also been made subject to an extended deadline.

Gold shines here.

Assisted dying remains one of the most fraught fault lines in English law, where compassion and criminal liability sit uncomfortably close.
