O Magnum Mysterium the hit of the night so far #carolsfromkings
The size of the damages award was probably already explainable, but it now makes complete sense.
Prof Norrie was an extremely engaging lecturer and I still remember so well the relish with which he would stir the pot in family law honours tutorials. A well deserved retirement.

This will strike a chord with anyone unfortunate enough to have heard my own rendition of the theme from Titanic on the recorder.

How can The Guardian be this clueless? Barristers (and Advocates) are self-employed. They are not in partnership with other members of chambers. This is one of the central tenets of a referral bar. Members of chambers frequently appear against each other. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/d…
Important decision from the UKSC on uncontroverted evidence and expert opinion. Not generally enough to wait until submissions to challenge an expert’s opinion though there are exceptions. supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uks…
“Price plans to use some of his wealth — the court was told that he is worth more than £20 million — to sue the Environment Agency for his losses while in prison, which he says were “about £5 million”.” Hmmm. Might be best not to bother… thetimes.co.uk/article/prison…
Increased number of trials and reducing numbers of criminal solicitors. This thread makes depressing reading for practitioners already stretched too far.

Five years? Where did the time go? In those five years, the Lord Hope scholarships - entirely funded by voluntary donations from members of @FacultyScot - have seen several devils, who couldn’t otherwise have managed, call to the bar. A development of which I’m very proud.
Went to the UKSC in a case asking myself a similar question right up until the questioning of my opponent started.

Interesting. In Scotland, all Inner House appeals used to be started with speeches from junior counsel. It is only latterly that this has been replaced by a detailed Note of Argument. Have always thought it was a major loss for developing advocacy skills.

Deeply uncomfortable with these changes being made through guidance. These issues are ethically difficult. They require clear, unequivocal statements of rights and they need the authority of democratic decisions. thetimes.co.uk/article/mercy-…
Thinking of the 18 new devils starting @FacultyScot today. I count taking the leap as one of my better decisions. Good luck and enjoy: you’ll smash it.

fascinating every time Rosie Jones is on TV & then trends as people fall over themselves to say it's not her disability, it's just that they 'don't find her funny'... never realising that for years she was a joke writer behind the scenes for the able comedians you all love 🙃
I get tired of lawyers, including ones I respect, getting into fights on here. The post-Musk algo makes it seem like that’s all there is now sometimes. Throughout my career I’ve found law to be a friendly + supportive place where you can argue in court and get a pint afterwards
Courts are not there to be the judge of right or wrong, moral or immoral, good or bad... they are there to be the judge of what the law is and if it has been complied with. Parliament is the correct place to push for political change, not the courts.
Merry Xmas everyone. For all the rubbish that takes place on this app, I want to leave you with the greatest bit of TV ever captured. Love to your families.
I simply cannot fathom how so people on here can think it necessary to explicitly misgender a murdered trans girl. It would literally take no effort at all to either not comment, or express yourself using non-gendered language if you really feel you can't call her by her name.
