After months of brain-grinding preparation, lack of sleep and having to put time in the diary specifically for trips to the loo, my big case settled just before it started. Those of you in the London area will see it gets some coverage in the Evening Standard tonight.
It is commonly supposed that lawyers hate settlements. We are paid by the day during the trial and there is a plain financial interest in making cases fight. However, I am very happy it has gone: partly because our client got the vindication she deserved without having to endure cross-examination and partly because it means I can now get some sleep and revert to human form again.

You mean I have to PAY for a paper?
Gah.
Glad you can get some kip though, mister.
You’re a lawyer?
You lie…you were never human. 😉

Pog- email me at moobs@moobz.com and I’ll send you a pdf.
Novak – I never claimed to be human – merely to have human form. At rest we lawyers can pass for human but are given away by our expensive wristwatches and hair palms.
HURRAY!! Gosh what a wild few months you have had! Baby stuff… marathon… and the super duper awful case. Congratulations Moobs! This is really an awesome outcome for you and for your client. Well done!
congratulations on your settlement! I don’t know anything about dodging the bullet of cross examination business. But I’d give anything for a decent night’s sleep and some of that human form. Again, so happy for you. 🙂
Can I get a PDF too? I’m nosey, plus it’s research for next year’s Chambers Guide, innit.
Ooh ta! I shall do that thing … I am a nosy caaah.
