Emeritus Professor Chris James passed away on 17th Jan 2025 and the world of governance, especially governance research, lost a great champion. Our paths crossed many times and we had some lovely discussions. Chris was not only extremely knowledgable, he was a very charming and kind man. 1/3

This is an entirely fair opinion on the actions of Bromcom to use the courts when they lose deals What I can’t understand is why the company thinks this is good practice, and how on earth it won’t put schools off from working with them?
