We have had a request from Jan Luba QC and HHJ Madge who, as I'm sure you all know, edit the 'recent developments in housing law' updates in Legal Action each month. They are looking for feedback on the updates, so we are happy to help with a guest post......
The transition hopefully appeared to be seamless, although there was a certain (considerable) amount of behind the scenes swearing. We are now on a larger and probably faster server. Our very grateful thanks to Tessa Shepperson of the landlord law blog who...
We're changing servers over the next few days. Hopefully you won't see too much disruption, but there is always the chance things might go horribly wrong. So if the site vanishes, don't panic, it should be back in about 3 or 4 days. Email may be iffy too....
'What!' I hear you say, 'wasn't the final Jackson report on costs released on 14 January?' Why yes it was. All 584 pages of it. But amid the headlines about scrapping CFA success fees and recoverable ATE insurance premiums, introducing contingency fees, and...
And what a thoroughly deserving new entrant to the roll we have in Anthony Carroll, apparently known as 'Uncle Tony', although 'Uncle' to whom and whether any Godfather style references were intended is not at all clear. Mr Carroll is a Nottingham based...
And for the new year, it seems an opportune moment to delve into the Nearly Legal search logs in a vaguely quixotic attempt to provide answers to some of the questions that brought people here. Alternatively, where this is not possible, we can stare in mute...
But we're not going to do a 'roundup of the year' kind of post. It is all searchably there and anyway, we've already linked to one (although it is probably subscribers only by now). Instead, I just wanted to gaze at our collective navel a little and say a...
I've had an email from a reader who has found that the Nearly Legal URL is redirecting to a spam blog. I can't replicate this behaviour, but has anyone else seen it? I'm checking to see if we've been hacked, but I'd be grateful if anyone could confirm...
May I introduce Mr Trevor Hobden, lately of Canada House Partnership, Grammar School Road, North Walsham, Norfolk and lately a solicitor. Mr Hobden is to be noted for his balanced approach to billing. Mr Hobden has been struck off the roll and will have to...
We are not actually in Devon, just for clarity, but in Concord, Washington, Tyne & Wear. I happen to know Concord, which is both ill-named and if one is honest, probably at the negative end of the architecturally charming list. But I won't hear a word...
The Ministry of Justice has published its 'Implementation Plan' in response to the recommendations of the 'Legal Advice at Local Level' steering group. The plan is here [pdf]. The issue is principally the effects on NFP advice providers of the impact of...
* as one of our commentors put it. As the sumer hiatus grinds on (summer- ha!) and we sit on the beach awaiting the return of the intermittent flood tides of housing cases, I was prompted by M's comment to delve through the rock pools of our search logs for...
