Judges have been told not to work from home (or at least not to conduct hearings from home) unless there are exceptional and unavoidable circumstances at play, former District Judge Stephen Gold writes in this week’s Civil Way

That’s by order of the Lord Chief Justice and Senior President of Tribunals. Gold reveals his own, alarming, experience of face-to-face training at the Judicial College in March 2020. 

Elsewhere in his column, Gold covers typos and errors in paperwork, an update on domestic abuse changes, a rent dispute at a cinema unable to show films during the pandemic, and more.
