Enjoying this salty - pun intended - excerpt from decision of Judge Anne Fairpo on why Walker’s attempts to get their crisps a VAT exemption by calling them Poppodoms does not make them so.

Monday will mark day 1 of devilling at @FacultyScot. I will be posting regular updates on LinkedIn over the next 9 months on life as a Devil. If you're a law student or solicitor interested in coming to the Bar, I hope this helps to demystify the process. Watch this space.

It’s difficult for the public to get excited about proposals to reform regulation of the legal profession. But this is powerful stuff from the judiciary: @scotgov plans are an assault on the rule of law that must be resisted, root and branch, with tooth and claw. Bravo, m’luds.
The response of the senior Scottish judiciary to the Scottish Government’s consultation on Legal Services Regulation Reform has now been published. Also available is information on the Lord President’s role in regulating the legal professions. tinyurl.com/3p569vse

Immigration law twitter > Received bail summary saying detained immigration appeal timeline is *5 weeks* from appeal lodged to FTT disposal. My reading of recent stats is *51 weeks* to FTT disposal (Q3 20/21). Am I reading these wrong?

Of all the cock-ups in all the world in the whole history of newspapers, this is among my very favourite. A fresh guffaw every time it reappears.

These guys literally asked a federal judge to invalidate the U.S. government, appoint some kind of unelected steward (because "Gondor has no king") and take control of the nuclear arsenal. So you have to wonder what else he was asked to do that he considers unsound strategy.
