‘Unlike so many, he had the knack of making a judgment…highly interesting and challenging…A recurring theme is the defence of the weak against a monolithic, unthinking state.’ - Mostyn J
Sir James Munby, former president of the High Court family division, died on New Year’s Day. He was 77.
“That he chose to spend the greater part of his career in family law was of great and long-lasting benefit," his successor Sir Andrew McFarlane said.

The last few days did not move the main story forward AT ALL. It's just a guy eating little treats and doing nothing. And so many plot holes. He says, "no more little treats," and then he's eating another little treat in literally the next scene.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇
