Dear Mr Exall
I wonder if you saw this case in the papers where we acted for the successful landlord against the tenant “liars”?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/11757662/Elderly-couple-landed-with-500k-court-bill-after-losing-claim-against-Goldman-Sachs-banker.html
To quote from the above article:
“Retired solicitor Mr Clarke, who claimed to have a protected tenancy, had “deliberately chosen not to come to court and give evidence so as to avoid having to tell the truth”, said the judge.”

The case hasn’t been formally reported but I thought you might be interested.
Kind regards
Helen

Gordon You may well be interested in the attached judgment I handed down this morning concerning the vexed topic of deduction of success fees from children’s damages. I have sent it to BAILLI for publication. It has been well received by colleagues who have read it on the judicial intranet. There is a debate to be had on this topic.
kind regards, District Judge Richard LumbRegional Costs Judge Birmingham
