Being constitutionally unable to resist the temptation to indulge in a spot of lèse majesté, Nearly Legal is pleased to be able to threaten Her Majesty with a spell on the naughty step. Not for being a hereditary monarch - that is a little outside our remit...
We at NL try to keep up with the cutting edge of human rights law, even when it is a little uncomfortable. But hitherto undreamt of vistas of potential challenges opened up when we read this account of the complaint of Count Alfons Mensdorff-Pouilly, of...
The Ministry of Justice response to the 'Legal Aid: Refocusing on Priority Cases' consultation is now out, with the MoJ's final proposals [link to pdf]. Although the responses to the consultation appear to have been pretty universally negative, the MoJ is...
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......

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...
