Housing law news and comment
Ruthie’s Law dons the mantle of one of the all-too-rare British hostings of a Blawg Review, and a damn fine review it is. More details on Blawg Reviews here.
I believe Geeklawyer is due to be the next British host, so anyone whose business is dependent on cross-atlantic relations would be wise to sell up now.… Read the full post
Nick Holmes of Binary Law, renowned throughout the legal information tech world as being a very nice man indeed, has been generous enough to include Nearly Legal as one of his Blawgs of Note in an article for Legal Executive Journal, April 2008. Apparently, the article also featured a Family Lore post and one of mine alongside the article.
Nick’s blawgs of note included Family Lore, Charon QC and Impact. And who in their right mind could argue with that?
In paper based media, Nearly Legal has now featured in or written for, in chronological order, The Specialist Paralegal, the Solicitors Journal and the Legal Executive Journal. Sweet … Read the full post
It is about time for a break – 13 detailed posts in the last two weeks, coupled with a frantic time at work, has left me lacking oomph, as devoid of oomph as an omphless thing on a bad day. So there will be nothing more here until after the holiday weekend.
Meanwhile, James Stark of Garden Court North has put up a briefing note on the rejection of Payne v Cooper in Porter v Shepherds Bush (he is not happy). Hat tip to Tony Fearnley.
And if you are in search of further housing goodness, a new blog has just started up. Housed is by the person who has … Read the full post
The bottom right of the blog now has both Civil Court of Appeal and Administrative Court judgments in feeds that update as soon as the judgments are released on Bailii.
Non-techies can look away now.
For the technically interested, this is a complete kludge. The beta Bailli recent decisions RSS feed is filtered through a Yahoo pipe, adapted from one by Nick Holmes, to give only Admin decisions. But the resulting RSS feed from the Yahoo pipe wouldn’t show up in the WordPress RSS widget whatever I did to it, so the Yahoo feed has been redirected through Feedburner to give a feed that does show up. If anybody wants … Read the full post
Not being satisfied with putting the boot in only once to Caroline ‘Workhouse’ Flint, I’ve had another go, this time in a podcast with Charon QC, now available for your listening pleasure.
I hope and trust that this is giving the proposals more attention that they require.… Read the full post
Pupil barrister Scribbler encounters a litigant-in-person in action for the first time, and he sounds like a classic of the genre, issuing against multiple defendants ‘so they could come to court to explain themselves’, regardless of whether they actually had much to do with the case.
Of course, it has to be said that there are people who conduct their own cases effectively and with considerable ability, but many are on a crusade for justice, ignoring the eminently sensible cautions set out by Jacquig at Bloody Relations (for family cases, but the general principles apply elsewhere), and all too often the lawyers on one side end up more or less … Read the full post
Surprising being undeterred by the experience of the first podcast I did with him, Charon QC has demonstrated a generosity of spirit, if a lack of judgement, in doing another. We talk about training contract experience, smaller firms, and the sisyphean labour of blogging..
You may find it mercifully brief, as I prove the rule that happiness is dull in the telling, while misery always gives good anecdote.… Read the full post
