Professor Dominic Regan @Krug79 is Head of the Knowledge Hub at Frenkel Topping. He is a visiting Professor at City Law School London and a columnist for New Law Journal. Dominic is widely regarded as an authority on wine, witness statements, Part 36 and the Jackson reforms.
Professor Dominic Regan outlines the implications of the newly introduced batch of civil litigation reforms.
Jackson was just the beginning. The arrival of fixed litigation costs in fast-track injury work, from 31 July 2013, represented another enormous shift and there is plenty more in the pipeline. How does the future look for civil practitioners? It is a common myth that the focus is upon injury. Not so.
Sean Jones QC and Professor Dominic Regan review the wines on offer this Christmas.
We are back with a range of recommendations again. Not a dud amongst them. Last year we saw every major supermarket chain run a “ Buy 6 get 25% off” promotion and the serious buyer should look to swoop on these deals.
Dominic Regan and Sean Jones recommend wines for the festive season.
At Christmas, even those who don’t drink, do. Here are our recommended buys for the season ahead and there is something for everyone. We anticipate a repeat this year of the internecine warfare between the big supermarkets. Keep your eyes open for buy 6 and get a 25% discount, something that all the big chains did last year. Majestic Wine now only insists that you buy a minimum of 6 bottles and their staff are very well informed.
The payment of referral fees is to be banned. Lord Justice Jackson has got what he wanted. Professor Dominic Regan considers the ban and whether it may presage other seismic shifts.
A referral fee is a sum paid by a solicitor so as to acquire instructions. Trust solicitors to end up paying to do work. Chapter 20 of the final Jackson report sets out the history and ramifications. His view was that the only winners were the recipient of fees. An outright ban was proposed.
Supermarkets now supply the bulk of wine bought for home consumption.
Dominic Regan and Seán Jones highlight some of the best champagne and wine.
Dominic Regan and Sean Jones suggest the best restaurants to visit in order to obtain good wine at a fair price.
You have cause to celebrate. Perhaps you have just been paid for that case you did late last century. The proverbial moron in a hurry can find good wine but the art is to find it at a fair price. Here are some suggestions.
