Jeremy Corbyn and the odd-looking application for pre-action disclosure
Three reasons why the reported application does not add up legally

Commentary on @jessicaelgot's news report at: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/nov/26/jeremy-corbyn-start-legal-action-over-suspension-labour-whip
This legal commentary of what's known about Corbyn's legals action against Labour, makes it seem like a trump legal case - all about whipping up their followers. https://twitter.com/davidallengreen/status/1332255854071058432

Fascinating legal blog which says the moves against @UKLabour by @jeremycorbyn don’t make much sense.
Even if he forces the party to disclose documents relating to any discussions, that doesn’t mean they can place them in the public domain https://davidallengreen.com/2020/11/jeremy-corbyn-and-the-odd-looking-application-for-pre-action-disclosure/

Feeling mildly proud of having kept up the 9.30(ish) posts at the @law_and_policy blog for 18 days in succession
Any constructive feedback welcome, on content or nature of these daily posts
The intention is to do a daily short contextual essay on a topical law and policy issue
“Members of the jury. Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof.
The Defendant makes the extraordinary claim that he is innocent.
Anything is possible, but you’d need extraordinary proof to believe it.”

Trials being listed in 2022 and 2023, and now 4-month waits for a PSR. This is ridiculous.
Another informative finding from Cheryl Thomas's research into juries (unfortunately paywalled at the Criminal Law Review). Even though 87% would have opted out if their jury service had been voluntary, most jurors speak positively of the experience afterwards.
No - the government just gave up funding the justice system. https://mol.im/a/8991675
If you’ve been called to the bar without the usual celebrations and fuss then tag me in your posts and I’ll ping them out. We will make a fuss of you, you absolute legends.
Claims that jurors believe in “rape myths” are themselves myths, according to new findings published by the UK’s leading academic expert on juries.
My latest post, free to read here:

To fix the criminal trial backlog caused by its own negligent underfunding, the government is forcing people with caring responsibilities out of the legal profession.
This thread explains why.
Update on Extended Operating Hours + @HMCTSgovuk
HMCTS are proposing to extend the working hours of a courtroom in 65 Crown Court centres across Eng & Wales.
They ran pilots in a few court centres but have only provided a summary of the data from Liverpool so far.
