Very very busy and very tired, I currently come home and just stare blankly at the demanding voracious maw of the blog monster-child. Being too shattered to come up with anything to stuff down its greedy gullet, I can only feel guilt at its piteous cries of...
Sorry for another Times story reference, but I felt myself slipping into bewilderment with this story. Third party financing for bringing a case, OK. But it is then denied that there is any resemblance to encouraging personal litigation because: Helping one...
Now call me a cynic, but how much like PR nonsense does this article in the Times about the programme for the Bar Conference 2007 sound? Ah, yes. Human Rights pervade all aspects of the profession, that and an ability to export legal services. Well yes,...
This has nothing to do with law, but sometimes a personal howl of frustration must be let loose. The topic is crappy internet service providers. To be specific, Pipex Internet. I am a Pipex subscriber, although not for very much longer. I have been for...
In one of the least surprising outcomes of a CPS consideration of merits of prosecution since, oh let's say the cash for honours flasco, 'Klara and Edda bellydancing' has been decided to be 'not indecent'. So, a photo previously 'investigated' for indecency...

Thanks to Binary Law for the news that the OPSI Legislation search now comes with an RSS feed on searches for easy updates. Unfortunately, having spent an evening wrestling with it, I'd damned if I can get specific search feeds to display on this blog. The...
I am once more indebted to Victorian Maiden for noting the arrest of a senior partner in the recapture of the Madonna of the Yardwinder, violently lifted from Drumlanrig Castle four years ago. Calum Jones of HBJ Gateley Wareing in Glasgow, a specialist in...
In one of the least surprising brassiere related decisions ever by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal, Daniela Scotece has been struck off the roll. Ms Scotece, an erstwhile criminal defence solicitor at the Nottingham Johnson Partnership, was convicted in...
I don't do memes. In fact I am something of a Darwinian nightmare environment for memes, they land in this blog and, right there and then, reproduction ends. This might suggest why I'm not doing family law. However, having been kindly been tagged by both...
