Presumably on its way to shop at the Bullring.

The Divisional Court's judgment in the AI citations cases about whether to open contempt proceedings should be read by all lawyers. Counsel on this occasion was very lucky to escape contempt proceedings by the skin of her teeth. www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWH...

Are we all supposed to buy Teslas now?

I'm not sure Giles Coren has a future as an employment lawyer... www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

The Times has a Workplace Harassment quiz. It’s obviously a bit of fun but equally is no actual guide to whether or not a particular act amounts to harassment, as claimed. www.thetimes.com/article/d447...

The Supreme Court website currently suggests that the Justices have decided for the Trinity Term to give themselves a light work load and an extended summer break!

One wonders what UK Acts' names would be if adopting the same ridiculous approach to legislative naming as in the US. Any suggestions?

How does one describe the man sitting in the main chair in the Oval Office?

I've written here about the CA's recent decision in Augustine v Data Cars, where the majority find that a court which doesn't bind it has reached the wrong conclusion, but one it feels required to follow even though wrong, leaving the Sup Ct to sort things out! www.linkedin.com/posts/jason-...

Not that Eurovision is alien to politically-motivated voting (as the late, great Terry Wogan attested to numerous times each and every year), but is it not just possible that people across a diverse array of EBU countries voted for a good song well sung? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm disappointed that in a case about the nuisance of balls landing in a private garden, HHJ Glen (sitting as a HCJ) resisted the urge to mimic Lord Denning's great opening in Miller v Jackson. www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWH...

I’ve lost a hero this morning. Just listening to this week’s episode of Strong Message Here and Armando Iannucci said “Equalities Act”. 🤦🏻‍♂️

“Don’t panic, Captain Mainwaring”

Ouch! #eurovision

“Why you cannot yet rely on AI to write your skeleton argument” Lesson 93…

I've posted here on the recent CA decision in Fasano v Reckitt Benckiser on agency relationships between parent and subsidiary group companies for the purpose of ss.109-110 EqA (as well as on a s.19 legitimate aim argument re LTIP provisions): www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Isn’t the lesson from the last 50 years of British politics that the successful PMs are those who know what they believe in and convince the electorate of the merits of those beliefs, rather than the PMs who chase the electorate on the basis of what polls tell them might be popular on any given day?

I wish Labour would realise that you can’t placate those on the far right of politics, and wish they would stop letting Reform move the Overton window on immigration. We all know how much foreign care workers enhance our care system. Why not have just vouch for them? www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Supreme Court has refused permission to appeal in Boohene v Royal Parks, the indirect race discrimination case brought by contracted toilet & park cleaners who were not paid London Living Wage when Royal Parks employees were (the cleaners were more likely to be from ethnic minorities).

One thing Blue Sky misses as against the other place is that lovely moment each year when the Bar glories in the delight of those who tweet about their pupillage offers and offer their condolence and support to those who’ve not been lucky on this occasion
