FOCUS OF THE DAY: The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has apologised for releasing information that made it appear as if there had been a massive rise in training places last year – when in fact the number has stayed static. Responding to a Freedom of Information Act request about trainee solicitor numbers from a legal recruitment company, the SRA said that “5,541 training contracts were registered in 2014, and 3,415 periods of recognised training entered into”.

FOCUS OF THE DAY: MoJ funding for paternity testing is 'puzzling', says leading family charity. From September, family court judges in England will be able to order DNA tests to determine a child's parentage, according to the justice minister Simon Hughes. The announcement follows the completion of two pilot programmes in Taunton and Bristol family courts, managed by Oxfordshire Family Mediation and Cafcass, which were set up following anecdotal evidence that courtroom arguments over parentage often led to significant delays in divorce cases.
