“As a general rule documents and other evidence produced in ancillary relief proceedings were not disclosable to third parties outside the proceedings save in an exceptional case and for very good reason, unless the court gave leave. The fact that evidence might be relevant or useful was not of itself a good enough reason to undermine that rule.”

“Today, the Supreme Court held that Julian Assange should be extradited to Sweden for alleged rape. This is subject to further submissions on one point (concerning the Vienna Convention on Treaties), well covered by Joshua Rozenberg in his post on the lively proceedings when the judgment was handed down. The whole of the appeal turned on one technical point, simple to state, but it took the Court 266 paragraphs to answer. Was the European Arrest Warrant which triggered the extradition request signed by a ‘judicial authority,’ given that it was signed by a prosecutor?”

“On 17 May 2012 the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) announced their decision to abolish the current minimum wage for trainee solicitors (the current minimum salary for trainee solicitors is £18,590 in Central London and £16,650 outside of London). From 1 August 2014 law firms will be able to pay trainee solicitors the national minimum hourly rate of £6.08. These changes to remuneration will cause additional barriers to access a career in law and will subsequently have a negative impact on the legal profession with a less diverse and equal workforce.”
