The latest twists and turns to the law on buildings insurance, bankruptcy orders and divorce pilots come under the scrutiny of former District Judge Stephen Gold in this week’s Civil way

Gold also covers recent legislation that will place employers under a proactive duty to prevent sexual harassment of employees in the course of their employment. Gold notes that this does not come into force until next October, and that employers must take ‘reasonable steps; not ‘all reasonable steps’ after the wording was watered down by the House of Lords.
