@EGoldLdn @5SAHLaw @dennishamill77 Thank you for drawing my attention to the BBC v GMC case. The GMC rules have changed since then but it is probably still good law on whether the tribunal is 'exercising the judicial power of the state' for purposes of Contempt of Court Act 1981.
English

@AmyWoolfson @5SAHLaw @dennishamill77 or - rather, whether the GMC provisions have changed since the 1998 case. That said that GMC tribunals were not courts and did not exercise the power of the state.

@EGoldLdn @5SAHLaw @dennishamill77 I think it is possible, though I am not aware of any case law on the point. E.g. if a party published an unauthorised recording of proceedings, it could be caught by s.9 Contempt of Court Act 1981.
English

Professional discipline: evidence from abroad. The current position, and some of the challenges for statutory regulators.

@LawtonEm I can't think of a single sensible reason why chambers would want to know someone's GCSE results. Plus it introduces potential bias - if you did GCSE Latin you probably went to a fee paying school...

I wrote a piece for the @labour_blog on ‘Pay for Work in Prison’
People in prison spend a lot time working, sometimes for private, profit-making entities, and they are paid extremely little. This is wrong.

Yuan Yi Zhu: endorsed by The Secret Barrister for lack of self-awareness!
The Secret Barrister 🦋@BarristerSecret
@Nicholas_RL It is a spiteful piece of writing. And, given the remarks in the opening paragraphs, an author not blessed with self-awareness.

This is a really interesting lecture on the science and the law of witness demeanour.
