Here's the rest of the legal news you probably won't have read.
Sporting chance
Excited by the World Cup. Got your vuvuzela ready? Got your beer fridge stocked, and your snack foods ready? Me too.
But beware of sneaking a quick viewing of any of the afternoon matches in your office. Linda Walford, an employment solicitor at Ellis Jones, Dorset, is on the legal look-out. Walford thinks firms should have special World Cup policies - allowing people who might not be supporting England to watch the matches of their choice. Flexible working should be brought in - just so that a few people can watch an inflated pig's bladder be hoofed around a stretch of pristine turf. If not, says killjoy Walford, we'll end up with a "skiver's charter".
Flexible working during the World Cup.

Happy landings
A solicitor at Irwin Mitchell has had a lucky escape during a charity parachute jump when her chute failed to open at 10,000 feet. Cheryl Palmer-Hughes hurtled towards the beautiful Shropshire countryside at 120 mph for a whole ten seconds before the instructor attached to her was able to release the reserve.
Plenty of time, imagines The Source, for the Cheryl's jumpsuit to become unsuitable for further use.

And finally
Scott Rothstein, a disgraced lawyer responsible for a $1.4 billion Ponzi scheme has had his impounded possessions auctioned to raise money for a restitution fund for his victims. Up for grabs was a Bugatti, two ferraris, a Lamborghini Murcielago, a '67 Corvette Stingray, a Bentley, a Rolls Royve, a Mercedes McLaren and a Maserati. To confirm, these are all cars.
And then there were a few yachts as well.
Rothstein has just been banged up for 50 years - and to think it took so long to catch up with him.
