Just catching up on an employment case in the CA (Rogerson v Erhard-Jensen) and I see that there is now a new part of the Court of Appeal.

The thing that shocks me most about the Jimmy Kimmel suspension is that the FCC commissioner, Brendan Carr, is younger than me. I didn’t realise I was so old.

I guess it’s time to let the cat out of the bag…

According to Lexis Nexis, prior to the Epping Forest case Lord Justice Bean heard 11 cases since Labour took power where the Secretary of State was a party. Should we all be disappointed in Steven Bartlett for his abject failure to make a JCIO complaint in all of those cases?!

Can I thank all those who voted for me for this award that I’ve never heard of.
Alas my email doesn’t tell me what category I won in, so I’m guessing it’s the category of Employment Barristers Called Jason who are under 5’6”.
I’ll now go and write my acceptance speech.

It's mad that the US Supreme Court's effective permission to the US President to enforce unconstitutional orders against all those who've not yet sued it depends on the extent of the UK Chancery Division's equitable jurisdiction to grant injunctions on a specific date nearly 250 years ago.

10 years to the day since the US Supreme Court confirmed the legality of same sex marriage in Obergefell v Hodges.
