Content




It is inevitable that, being who I am, this blog will contain a fair bit of comment on legal matters, including those cases which come before me in court. However, it is not restricted to such and may at times stray ‘off-topic’ and into whatever area interests me at the time.

All comments are moderated but sensible and relevant ones, even critical ones, are welcome; trolling and abuse is not and will be blocked.

Any actual case that I have been involved in, and upon which I may comment, will be altered in such a way as to make it completely unidentifiable.

Bang!..... Out of Order

I was gripped with a strange fascination reading the reports that an eight-year-old boy has been banned from playing his drums later than 10pm after neighbours complained to their local council of drumming into the small hours.

His father, recently fined £100 for breach of a restraining order, considers this restriction on his son’s nocturnal activities as, ‘bang out of order’!

I doubt this role model for his son intended it as a pun but shouldn’t an eight year old be in bed long before 10pm, in preparation for school, rather than taking lessons in advanced anti-social behaviour?
