LATEST 'LAW WATCH' VIDEO: KEEP ABREAST OF NEW LAWS

 In this month's free video, I go through-

  • The increases in court, tribunal and probate fees which bite as from 01 May 2024 - and what happened to the threatened divorce fee hike.
  • Changes to debt relief orders next month (effective on 28 June 2024) - the panacea for the amateur debtor - which make it easier to qualify.
  • Increases in personal injury damages following publication of new guidelines.
  • Why judges' gowns are back at the Central Family Court.
  • The new so-called compulsory mediation system for county court small claims cases which will lead to any party refusing to co-operate being sanctioned at the end of the case and having to lose or pay one-half of costs that would otherwise have applied - if not worse.
  • And that Book!
Enjoy.
