Agreed. The MR would have been particularly interesting given (a) his fondness for AI, and (b) his disdain for any disrespect (accidental or otherwise) to the court, as shown in the hearing in which he set guidance for non-distribution of embargoed judgments.

I would not have been surprised had she done so. I wonder whether she or the MR would have come to an even firmer resolution and would have found it appropriate to open contempt proceedings against Ms Forey.

By the way, in re your opening message, it's not the LCJ's judgment but Dame Victoria Sharp's (along with Johnson J).

The judgment also ends with an appendix of a number of cases in the UK and elswhere where lawyers have come a cropper by careless usage of AI.

I once sat in on a case where Lord Woolf CJ and Lord Phillips MR sat as the Admin Court and as the Court of Appeal in the same hearing (having sat as the CA in an earlier hearing with Lord Slynn and subsequently realised post-judgment that they lack jurisdiction for their decision!)

I now realise what the non-papal thing was. Many congratulations! A very fine addition to the court's judicial roster.

I’m looking forward to what the Operation Mincemeat writers might do with today’s events.

According to the NYT, yes. With interest of course. Ouch!

Congratulations. Which cup is this the equivalent of in old money? The Fairs Cup? The Intertoto? Or is it as mighty as the Cup Winners Cup?

I can feel my rabbinic ancestors turning over in their graves at the thought of chicken schmaltz gracing the same plate as cheese. I may, however, try out some chicken schmaltz chollah croutons to accompany my next batch of chicken soup.

Of course. As always when Jonathan Ames reports on ET cases (which is presumably where Giles learnt of the case) - take a tabloid-friendly element out of context and expand it to the main basis of the judgment.

Yes, it very much is. The Jwanczuk point was dealt with in very simple terms. The question of greater interest to employment lawyers is the one left in limbo until the Sup Ct hears the appeal from Augustine and (most likely) confirms their agreement with the CA's reading of Reg 5 of the PTW Regs.

Disappointed you didn’t drink an appropriate cocktail for each country during their song. After a few songs it would doubtless assist your ability to bear the music.

This disappoints me. It’s my only reason for watching.
I note how you phrase your skeet to suggest I direct all my blame towards Hannah.

Even with the need for an exponential increase in wages, there’s a huge amount of skill in care and a mindset of dedication and compassion that’s hard to replicate in any random British citizen that the government thinks ought to be in work.

I’ve not kept a tally. Are there more positive responses to the “Did you kiss?” question on the Dining Across The Divide feature?

Really sorry to hear that Deshpal. I hope and pray things turn around for him.
