NLJ columnist Jon Robins takes a look in this week’s issue at the recent Justice Committee report, 'Open justice: court reporting in the digital age', which revealed troubling truths about accountability and transparency in the justice system.

How high a hurdle must be cleared before a court will grant indemnity costs on the basis of unreasonable conduct? Writing in this week’s NLJ, Masood Ahmed, University of Leicester and Lal Akhter, Med Chambers, Leicester, tackle this important question.

In the first of a two-part NLJ series on fact-finding hearings, Sarah Hughes, partner, and Victoria Rylatt, senior associate, Anthony Gold, look at some of this year’s key cases. These cases have grappled with difficult issues but provide extremely useful guidance, the authors write.

With economic storm clouds brewing, lawyers need to identify where they are exposed and how best to mitigate any weak spots.

With his front-row seat to the latest announcement on fixed costs, Professor Dominic Regan is well-placed to forecast what comes next, in this week’s NLJ.
