Court of Appeal
“Where the Court of Appeal received fresh evidence alleging that the judge below had been deliberately misled, the court would order a retrial only where the fraud was either admitted or the evidence of it was incontrovertible. In any other case, the fraud issue had to be determined in the High Court.”

“In 1996 senior figures in the Law Society said that I should not be allowed to speak in public. I had been predicting that most lawyers and clients would soon communicate by e-mail and the feeling was that I had failed to understand confidentiality and was bringing the profession into disrepute. Do we now have a more enlightened Law Society? To judge by its recent consultation document, Access to Justice Review, the answer is not clear. Although the title is promising, the report appears to be about finding new ways of funding old-fashioned lawyers.”

“If you failed to pay your car insurance or lied in your proposal for home insurance, you can expect your insurer to take a dim view and void your policy. But for those insurers who cover solicitors, they can take as dim a view as they want but they cannot escape having to pay out on claims under the policies.”

Regina v N; Regina v D; Regina v L
Court of Appeal
“The drafting of an indictment required close attention to the realities of the case and none at all to the theoretical legal possibilities which might arise. It also required careful attention to the criminality which had resulted in the case coming to trial, and to the evidence to support the allegation, the avoidance of duplication and the risk of unnecessary complications for both the jury and the judge and the ultimate wasting of scarce and valuable resources.”
