In a new column, NLJ columnist Dominic Regan shares his insights and predictions for litigators in and out of court in the weeks and months ahead. 

What is on the agenda of Sir Geoffrey Vos QC, the new Master of the Rolls? Regan notes how Sir Geoffrey has expressed views that judges should deliver judgments promptly, and about the quantity of decisions on Part 36. ‘Long-winded’ rules and the value of judge-led mediation are two other subjects that might attract his attention. As Regan writes, ‘Our new Master of the Rolls is a formidable character’. Plus what next for the long awaited personal injury reforms? And what will happen with Plevin claims?
