Professor Dominic Regan, aka NLJ’s The insider, has warm words for Sir Peter Fraser, the recently appointed Lord Justice
Sir Peter (who presided over the Bates v Post Office case) also answers to the name of ‘Iron Man’ (Regan reveals)—for other reasons apparently than his demeanour in court, as some readers might have wrongly assumed.
In this week’s NLJ, Regan will shock readers with news of an under-appreciated negative side-effect of silk appointment. All will be revealed in the column itself. Suffice to say, the professor recommends: ‘If you are lucky enough to be appointed, you should grab a pair of 80 denier tights as quickly as you can.’
On a more serious note, Regan discusses three one-day-long appeals at the Supreme Court in February, ‘each of which is modest in value, but all of which have significant ramifications for the masses’.
