HENRY

At last we have the judgment which seems a rather timid affair . No almighty statements of principle about the imminent arrival of budgeting across multi- track work . 

ALL CHANGE

The highly rated defendant insurance practice of DLA is to be taken over by Hill Dickinson . The deal was done on Friday .
Admiral Insurance is looking to acquire Lyons Davidson . The logic is that it can lawfully refer  claimant injury work to itself .

SORRY FOR THE SILENCE

The Jackson maelstrom gets ever closer and i am talking / writing 7 days a week at the moment.
I am sorry that we have still not had the budgeting judgment in Henry . Delivery has been postponed twice due to division within the Court of Appeal.
Zoe Holland , about whom i wrote recently , is inundated with solicitors looking both to buy and sell injury / clinical negligence work. She has carved out a fantastic niche. Good for her.

HENRY

This important decision about budgeting is probably going to be handed down on Friday morning.

THE NEW RULES OF COURT

Jackson judicial training starts tomorrow. This will be interesting because the first 150 pages of Rule changes have yet to be signed off although i am certain this will be a formality.More intriguing is news that a second tranche of measures will follow but not until after the Rules Committee meets on february 8th.

NOT LONG NOW

It is a chilling thought that the Jackson reforms are less than 90 days away and they are to be implemented by a statutory instrument , as yet unpublished , that exceeds 150 pages in length. Happy days.
