Honesty is always the best (and sometimes the cheapest) policy.

It’s common for clients to believe that their opponents are deliberately exaggerating their position. How confident they are of their case. How much their legal fees will be, which they maintain you’ll have to pay “when” they win. How serious they are about issuing proceedings. Etc, etc, etc. Often these allegations turn out to be […]

Big Mother is Watching You!

I’ve long since suspected that I’m being watched. And just because I’m paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not after me!!! My fears were confirmed to me recently when I had a phone conversation with a colleague about selling an asset through Sotheby’s.  A few hours later, the colleague reported that he was suddenly getting adverts for […]

Is there an alien in the house!?

I don’t believe in aliens! But I do believe that parent alienation is a real thing -ie that it is possible for one (or both) parents to try and poison the children’s relationships with the other parent, which can have lifelong effects on the children, and must be taken seriously by judges. However, I also […]

Normal service will be resumed shortly!

Service can take many different forms. You might assume that I was referring to how fast the wine waiter refills my glass – that would be a natural assumption. As the weather turns colder, maybe I’m considering getting the boiler serviced – blue is just not my colour! Or you might think I’ve suddenly taken […]

If you don’t ask, you don’t get.

On the other hand, you get what you pay for. Two opposing sayings which are as confusing and illogical as wanting to have your cake and eat it (why would I want cake and not eat it – although I don’t eat cake, it gets in the way of my champagne consumption).  The same is […]

TUPE or not TUPE – that’s actually NOT the question.

TUPE stands for Transfer of Undertakings (Protection […]

If you don’t ask, you don’t get to be ridiculed in public!
