I think it is hard to underestimate how important this website is for the Rule of Law in the UK. Before 2010, if you wanted to find out what statutes were actually in force you essentially needed a subscription to a very expensive commercial product like Halsbury's Statutes.

I’m just saying, I don’t want judges and clerks to read my briefs and think “wow he’s so smart, he did such a brilliant job of arguing that claim.” I want them to think, “how does that bozo luck into all these cases with slam-dunk claims?”

According to those with access to tracking data, Filer's fourth over was indeed the fastest recorded in women's cricket.
Overall, her four overs today ranked, 7th, 4th, 12th and 1st on the list.

Not to steal @jasonbraier.bsky.social's thunder too much, but (to me at least) this seems one of the clearest statements of how to assess causation for potential career loss cases in the Employment Tribunal. In one of the new President's first judgments as well!
