NLJ this week: The insider

57436
Which judges are on the move and who’s going where?

Which judges are on the move and who’s going where? Writing in this week’s NLJ, Professor Dominic Regan casts a critical eye over the runners and riders in the judicial ranks, offering tips on who’s odds-on favourite for the Court of Appeal or destined for the very top―the Supreme Court.

Choose your riders and place your bets. It’s time to judge the judges, but remember it’s just a bit of fun and the race isn’t over until the jockey’s weighed in.

Regan also highlights some to-be-published judge’s memoirs, which could provide a fascinating peek behind the scenes, as well as taking a look at fixed costs, Sir Rupert Jackson’s proposal from his civil justice costs report, which the government has now confirmed is to go ahead for cases valued up to £100,000.
