A crown court judge, in a magistrate’s court, hearing a civil application?

Is it a criminal case or civil, why is he walking around, and the gavel. Also the lawyer from the big firm turning up in Burnley etc. just terrible!

If you don’t like unrealistic court room scenes, avoid bank of Dave 2. Good lord!

Was wondering if it fell under FSMA as an investment

Well I’ll be boring and say it depends on the contract! Someone has clearly advised them there are grounds. The second claim is weirder- some sort of claim that they should have been provided more information

Have a day off

Leeds castle, Kent

Did you get into the whole mortgagee mortgagor thing?

Who didn’t get a present!

Should have said at the Rolls Building!

To whoever decided on a fire drill today, the first day of the BHP hearing, with all the press hanging around outside- perhaps next time have a think what is going on!

I love Blackfriars!

Some people might want to revisit yesterday’s thoughts!

Top Big Law Partners Are Earning More Than $2,400 Per Hour, as Rates Continue to Climb | The American Lawyer Dechert has hiked its rates for a top partner by 20% while McDermott is charging top partners out at $2590 hourly according to recent bankruptcy court filings.

Nice to see everyone is an expert in sports law arbitration now…

There have been questions over crowdfunding for various causes, but the biggest misconception seems to be that legal action is able to challenge primary legislation

No advice on merits published obviously

They can ask!

I think that is fundamentally the argument, but if anything the remedy is wrong anyway- in that case surely the LA should be under an obligation to provide. How it relates to VAT on private schools more generally I see no argument

“I am being advised by Paul Conrathe, a human rights solicitor at the education law firm, Sinclairs law. Jeremy Hyam KC and Tom Cross, who are leading human rights barristers, are providing specialist advice and representation.”

Just don’t take a success fee!

Quite

Sorry Sarah, missed the sarcasm!

All legal services attracts VAT yes

Seem to have a plan to raise £300k+ with no real framework of how that looks progressing to a hearing (or any cognisance that it would be unlikely to get that far)

£60k raised already for this hopeless claim 🫨

I’m taking legal action over school VAT for my daughter’s sake Alexis Quinn fears for the mental health of Addison, who is autistic, if she has to leave her fee-paying school when the 20% tax is imposed

This legal challenge is doomed. Nobody has ever overturned a tax in the UK courts or ECHR using on human rights arguments. Not once.

I couldn’t get it to work for cases, I referenced those manually. It’s very helpful for secondary sources if you are writing something that uses lots of those (and it does all the cross references for you)
