Could someone who receives posts from Nearly Legal via email drop me an note to let me know whether you receive the post a second time if I have made an edit to it later on? It shouldn't do that, but I can't tell if it is without potentially...
My grateful thanks to Free Movement for finding this, posting about it and passing it on. A Law Society letter of 2 April 2008 setting out the terms of the settlement of the Law Society's litigation against the Legal Services Commission has been...
This is the second of the two judicial reviews of Southwark's allocation scheme and arguably the more significant of the two. (The first case is in the previous post.) R(Faarah) v Southwark LBC [2008] EWHC 529 (Admin) concerned Southwark's...
