NLJ this week: Gold shines light on gloomy topics

Former District Judge Stephen Gold picks his way through the subjects of possession, death, prison and disqualification, in this week’s Civil Way

The inquest rules have been amended, reflecting case law, to clarify the standard to be used is balance of probabilities. Legal aid may be available for inquests in certain circumstances and is no longer means-tested.

Gold recounts how low you can go on a possession claim, suggests names for a Leicestershire prison, and explains why the dissolved must now suffer the ‘same spell of shame’ as their liquidated counterparts. It’s all Gold here.
