One of these exceptions accords with principle and the other doesn't. One does not need to compensate a dead person for loss of earnings (and the 1976 Act deals with dependents). But if the point of exemplary damages is punitive why on earth aren't we punishing tortfeasors who cause death?

Is this the worst thing to happen to barristers since they let us speak to the public about our own cases

Guys I passed my bloody Phd viva with minor corrections. Thank you to Professor Tom Hickman KC and Dr Kirsty Hughes for examining my thesis on the common law right vs slavery. And as ever thanks to Prof James Lee for being a total legend today.

Roommate: what’s that noise is it someone down the corridor watching cctv (you can take the barrister out of the criminal chambers etc) Me: yeah must be I’m mean it couldn’t possible be an anti BSB pro Proudman demo in Gray’s Inn on a Tuesday

This is bad isn’t it for labour I don’t want to see old new labour stalwarts likely to have a bad rep with those labour need to win back from reform I want to see young labour MPS new to government who could take Farage apart

Ok this is doubly unoriginal now, but the other place is falling apart and like a much sampled rare 70s funk record I need to protect my ip rights, plus it's Friday guys so here (again) is a thread on: DAVID BOWIE AS LEGAL TEXTBOOKS 1. Bennion on Statutory Interpretation

The challenge is to choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you in a spiritual way that you want to talk about on the internet. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #booksky #bookchallenge Days 1-20

These debates are fasinating, but IMO the notion the courts would find any Act incompatible with Article 14 is tenuous. An irony is that the more these high level debates provoke debate in Parliament, the less likely the courts will be to interfere. You just have to read Lord Reed at the end of SC

This provision of the Assisted Dying Bill places a very low threshold on the criminality of medical professionals doesn’t it? Breaching the act negligently but in good faith carries a criminal penalty of 14 years?!

I've always found it a weird that in some ECtHR cases re abuses between private individuals they anonymise the wrongdoer rather than the applicant
