People say the CFC is a failing court. Today, Julian, behind the desk was helpful and deserves full marks for his assistance. What a helpful guy

That is correct, but it may be the problem rather than the answer

Let’s be clear about this: Brexit is not the will of (all) the people: it is the will of some of the people, of a small majority of those who voted in the referendum and a minority of all those entitled to vote.

Having seen Man City give up when they went 2 behind at Stamford Bridge, I think Liverpool will stay on top. Man City have the players but not the character.

Christmas has come early. Liverpool fc still top of the league!

Whilst HM’s Opposition jockey for an election and the opportunity to leave with no deal. What was that Slade song? Mama we’re all...?

@jerryhayes1 Dangerous nonsense can become a strategy when mixed with blind ambition. Staggering thing is that people might swallow this nonsense, rather than seeing it for what it is, shameless positioning for a leadership election.

There were reluctant remainers and soft brexiteers. Jean Claude Juncker is hardly the Ode to Joy and Jacob Rees-Mogg is not Boadecia.

The political tensions & divisions in the country are not helped by the vitriolic & disparaging language used by both sides in the Brexit debate. Some humility & tolerance by both sides wouldn't go amiss. Just because someone's view is different to yours doesn't make them wrong.

Sadly few took my advice and joined the Tory party. I have a vote which will be for anyone but Rees-Mogg or Boris.

You are an absurd irrelevance. Your self-absorbed disloyalty is breath taking.

Lots of people are doing their Christmas shopping. Not having the presents and the turkey is a bigger crisis than anything happening in Westminster. Happy Holiday

You know the answer Philip: your country needs you. It probably needs most of us who opted for quiet lives

Our justice secretary in waiting (apparently). I do despair. Where is the talent; where is the statesmanship? At a time when we desperately need an alternative choice.

Drafting a Chancery Division order reminds of the pleasure of personal autonomy, as opposed to trawling through an omnibus of over long standard orders. Goodness knows what LIP’s make of them.

Unethical vegans eat meat; vegans do not. I suppose an ethical vegan might be less likely to commit adultery, or rob beggars on the street than other vegans. Is that the point?
pjm1kbw@pjm1kbw
I wonder where one draws the line between ethical vegans and the simply self-righteous? 🙄 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-463855…

Excellent meet the President evening organised by the FLBA. I am confident that Andrew McFarlane will prove to be a worthy successor to James Munby. The troubled children in this country are beneficiaries of the dedication of exceptional judges.

I voted for the Norwegian option. Unsurprisingly I would find Norway a sensible outcome. There were a few soft Brexiteers in the 52%.
(((Dan Hodges)))@DPJHodges
Brexiteers keep saying "this isn't the Brexit we voted for". Fine. So which Brexit did you all vote for. Canada. Canada plus. Norway. Switzerland. No Deal. Which of these models did each of the 17,410,000 people individually endorse in the referendum.

Visiting an expensive rental block in SE London I have noticed that most of the tenants are under 35, maybe 30. There is a constant stream of Deliveroo deliveries by people under 30. This makes me worry about inequality, is this a sign of age?

I suggest we leave and impose no tariff barriers on goods and services from the EU. If the EU wants borders, tariffs etc then that would be a matter for the EU. The Free Trade Hall is in Manchester, not Milan

7. It’s not that a different approach is not possible - it still is. It’s just that the Government has failed over two and a half years to make that choice. And that’s why their approach is bad for our future.

Given digital television appeals should be available on line.

Failing to make an order is a fundamental judicial default. We help them, but if we are going to be imprisoned in court buildings and bullied they can draw their own orders.

@ValLeGrice I have heard judges saying to the advocate that if she/he didn't draft the order by the end of the day and email it for approval, they won't have one

@Stufuller1 @fjjcas @4PBFamilyLaw It the case was fought, it’s the judge’s order. If we help him or her it’s because we are nice people who should get thanks; rather than being threatened with imprisonment in the CFC.
English
At the CFC I was given a handout saying that lawyers could not leave the building until an order was lodged. What right has anyone got to imprison me in the CFC; particularly when the court has the statutory duty to draw the order?

Baron J was canny (and a great judge). Yet judges cannot have it both ways, Rose says it’s over earlier. But the real point is whether the judge’s control extends beyond the courtroom. I think not.
