For one such as myself, who is ignorant in such matters, is this effectively the difference between Scots and English law:
- English QC: "here's some case law, precedents and well thought out and reasoned academic and legal arguments supporting our case".
- Scot Guy: "I believe it was Hamlet who once said at Bannockburn whilst wearing a kilt and reading a book about history, yes HISTORY: "Ye may take our lives, but ye'll never take OUR FREEDOM".
The bald guy behind the drunk Scot - clearly Roffing. Hello bald guy. Looking around the room with a WTF look on his face and distinctly trying not to laugh.
Bald guy, if you're Roffing when you read this take off your glasses then put them back on. Give us a sign.
So I've got this on my headphones whilst I'm working away. And someone from admin walked past and asked why I was smiling and was saying how much I must like my job and I couldn't blame this Scottish joker so just agreed!
Have you seen his "bundle" from which he is developing his written submissions, lol ! I think he might be out of his depth..... and he knows it. Not an authority or statue submitted yet. Why are they giving him a pass, if that was Eadie or Pannick, they would have been slaughtered.
He reminds me of someone I once knew, who was my trainee. He is called Alun Smith and had his 15 mins of fame as an MEP for the SNP when he made that rather cringey and wailing "do not forget us" speech. Similarly earnest and beardy and has a similar approach to making a point.
This fella is such an amateur. They have asked for a bundle ref and he's blurting around and Lord Keen answered the exam question for him. To which his answer was "yeah"
I was in the ET once where there were three different versions of the bundle that had been prepared by the other side. One version for me, one for my opponent, and one for the ET panel. It was the most painful two days as the ET Judge got more and more irate as we struggled through the case. At the end of it Counsel for the other side told me that she would never take instructions from.that firm ever again.
he just got told to read the whole sentence as the second part of it qualified the first and when it was read out BY HIS FELLOW SCOT WHO TOLD HIM OFF FOR SAYING ALL SCOTS HAVE BAD MANNERS he said yeah again
Chickster, I don't think your two possibilities are mutually exclusive. I readily expect him to respond to the submission by dropping his trousers and heaving out a killer whale of a turd and holding it aloft, like some barbaric version of the Lion King, and saying "behold, my learned friend's detailed submissions".
