printer mail-detail
Former District Judge and NLJ columnist Stephen Gold writes in this week’s Civil Way about the ‘sacrilege’ of the closure of the Mayor’s and City of London Court, the latest ‘pea green’ fashion in family law tomes, and the scandalous ‘repayments whizz’ of the 0.5% interest rate of HMRC repayments

Gold also reports how solicitors are faring with the new online divorce procedure, and a landlord-tenant case involving a letter sent to the wrong address. See p15.
