The 24th June 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the start of the blog. I did worry, when I started, whether there would be enough material to . However, over the past 10 years I have never been short of things to write about. The most difficult thing is often deciding what not to write. This is ...
Congratulations on your 10th anniversary of blogging! I am average adjuster living in an oriental island country. More than half a century ago when I was a student, I learned about the English ruling in a case called The Mandarin Star [Takings at Sea]. At that time, I learned about marine insurance from a scholar who submitted a written opinion at the request of an insurer, Chiyoda Fire and Marine Insurance Company. The teacher’s name is Professor Teruzo Katsuragi. Born in 1905, my pupil master translated Arnould’s 14th and 15th editions into Japanese. He was very familiar with English marine insurance case law (and the judges), but less so with the barristers (for example, John Hobhouse and Christopher Staughton, who represented this case). That’s how I became interested in the British legal profession. Your blog is very appealing to me because it teaches me a lot and various specialties of the bar. Please continue to do so for the next 10, 20 years!
I’m glad you provided an opportunity for me to say how much I appreciate your blog. It’s been a fantastic source of information and guidance over the years, and it’s all too easy to take it for granted.
So I, and I’m sure I speak for thousands of others, would like to say a huge `thank you’ for all your hard work, and I hope you’ll carry on for many years yet.
The blog is a great resource. I regularly steal from it for teaching purposes (but I do include a full acknowledgement – usually)
