Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Changes to London's civil court structure are taking place this month. A new listing system, intended to increase efficiency, has been introduced and the Central London Civil Trial Centre is to open on Monday, when a new business list will also be established.

The centre will hear more complex and longer cases referred from the capital's 12 other county courts, enabling them to list short cases more quickly. The business list will provide specialist handling of commercial and business disputes. Next month, the patents county court will transfer to the new centre from Wood Green.
