I'm thinking of forming a Bar Super League where I get to argue all the big cases against a small fixed list of superstar barristers. Also I get £10m to redecorate my home office and buy some really cool screens and a nice chair. I can't see any possible downside (for me)
Who's in? I'm Chairperson by the way
Before you all start moaning there will be benefits to the whole Bar because I am going to give away all my old court dress and books once I'm done with them
And it's what the public want!

So sad to hear this. Rest in peace
I had this somewhat bizarre but lovely experience meeting Helen McCrory. She was the lead in Deep Blue Sea at the National and was on the northern line on her way in, as was I (going to Temple). I was banging onto a friend about some issue I had in a case, obviously too loud.
On the platform at Embankment up came this tiny woman wearing a tracksuit and baseball cap. “Hello, I’m an actress and couldn’t help overhearing your conversation...”. Turned out she was about to appear in an ITV show playing a human rights lawyer. She very graciously asked if I

There has been some discussion on my timeline as to whether (a) Prince Philip's funeral would be subject to the Covid regulations at all, and (b) if so whether The Queen would be.

Thank you to those who illuminated this for me, I had not given it much thought
Is Windsor Castle subject to the Covid regulations (currently the "Steps" regulations - here )?

The starting point is that the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 only appears to apply to "Crown property" by agreement - see section 73
The Steps regulations (we are now in Step 2) have rules for funerals which require it to be held in a a "public outdoor place" amongst other potential venues.

A "public outdoor place" is defined as including "crown land to which the public has access "

🚨 New regulations to take England into "Step 2" from Monday and make other minor amendments

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Steps and Local Authority Enforcement Powers) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2021

In force Monday

legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2021/455/… Image
Explanatory note:
- Change to definition of “linked household”
- clarify that customers may enter premises serving alcohol to pay for their food and drink,
- clarify which facilities may remain open in campsites, caravan parks and self-contained holiday accommodation Image
This is actually an important change as it clarifies something which hasn't been clear for months - whether a linked household has to have *only* one or more children under 1 or can have a child under 1 plus others who are not.

The latter is the answer. Image

As we Jews say, wishing the Queen and family a long life. Rest in peace, Prince Phillip - may his memory be a blessing
Sorry to get down to brass tacks here but people might be interested in the current rules for funerals:

30 people maximum under "Step 2" which begins on Monday and is likely to last until 17 May

legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2021/364/… Image
Commemorative events for for deaths will be maximum 15 people Image
