Article summary

This week’s edition of Personal Injury highlights includes the judgment of Barlow v Wigan Council which found that a public path was a highway maintainable at public expense even though there was no evidence that it was intended to be a highway when it was constructed. We also have the Law Commission’s analysis of the responses they received to their consultation paper into issues around driving laws for automated vehicles. We have our usual round-up of other key cases and news as well as webinar dates for your diaries and some recent Q&As.
