Billable Hour

@DontDivideUsNow All laws are arguably tools to reshape society.

The Equalities Act is not fit for purpose. It is supposed to be used for individual cases of injustice, not as a tool to reshape society. It's time for it to be repealed, or at the very least, vast swathes need to be amended to protect impartiality in our education system.

@RichardMoorhead I thought the lawyers got off lightly in the ITV programme.

@jimrobottom Also, unquestionably the greatest lawyer’s name ever: Serjeant Spankie.

@jimrobottom I’ve always been partial to Baggs v Fudge

What are the greatest ever case names? I think my all time favourites are WWF v WWF Christmas v Christmas and a new discovery today Casanova v The Queen (1865-67) L.R. 1 P.C. 268. Big romance case.

A few reflections on the #postofficeinquiry today and the media circus that suddenly came to town.

“…if I seize power…” @SteveBakerHW

January was a busy and very good month. I see my @BillableHour16 Direct Debit has gone out. Chuffed to have received some very generous #feedback so far in 2022.

@Littleton1 @ChambersGuides Congratulations! You really are a great set. If you would like a bragging licence, a donation to @savechildrenuk at billablehour.org will secure one.

We are delighted to have been shortlisted for Employment Set of the Year by @ChambersGuides. We would like to thank all of our referees who have given such positive feedback. #ChambersBarAwards2020 #ChambersGuides littletonchambers.com/chambers-bar-a…

@CasparQC @Littleton1 That's brilliant and well-deserved! Congratulations to @CloistersLaw, a set full of talented and lovely lawyers.

Without fear or favour having left a message for @Littleton1 Many congratulations to us but this looks like an @BillableHour16 humble brag. I shall be applying to the charity committee for funding.

@harriettrken @thelegal500 Ouch. Rising Star licences are pricey. Congratulations on a well-deserved accolade!

@SmithDominique2 @1ChanceryLane Congratulations Dominique and thank you for being a #billablehero. We hope the butter beer went down smoothly.

We are trying to dig down the back of the sofa to get more bandwidth for #Legal500UK2021 - while you wait, feel free to donate to @BillableHour16 to help @savechildrenuk savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-he…

Delighted (and perplexed) to be listed as a “rising star” in two areas in the @thelegal500 2021. Happy, too, to pay my humble brag fine to @BillableHour16! #L500UK2021 @ropewalklaw

@tomherbert @thelegal500 @ropewalklaw Congratulations Tom. May your star keep rising.

@katpearce01 @CivilLitTweet @Coldwar_Steve I love that idea!

@BillableHour16 @CivilLitTweet Ask @Coldwar_Steve to do a lawyers pandemic special jigsaw 🙏🏻 With a suggested donation of the number of billable hours it takes to complete...?!!!! 🧩

Dear Billable Heroes, we're acutely conscious that large sections of the professions are on their knees at the moment, with work and cashflows adversely affected. Beyond our front doors, the economic and public health effects of this crisis cascade away destructively. /1

@AnneMHargreaves Thank you, you are a superstar!

@jonathan_head1 @CivilLitTweet Honestly, he's been consistently amazing.

@jonathan_head1 Thank you - now fixed, I think and thank you also for donating. That's incredibly kind of you.
