In this edition we welcome back Andrew Hogan from Kings Chambers for a stimulating discussion on the recent CA decision in Islington v Bourous and what it portends for the development of digital justice; the recent Voss (as opposed to Vos) report on the regulation of litigation funding in Europe and the extent to which England and Wales may follow suit; and wrap up with Andrew's thoughtful reflection on the current CJC consultation on the extension of fixed costs, the future for guideline rates and how to retain the most effective use of budgeting.
