GOING ON GREEN

Yes, it is green. The cover of the latest At a Glance just published by the Family Law Bar Association. Still, practitioners cannot seek family remedies without it.

Not so much stand up but more sit down with a glass of vintage wine carrying a bouquet of Mostyn J but I may be wrong. The principal humour is about pets and is inspired by the Law Society’s initiative in encouraging spouses to enter into pre-nuptial agreements regarding their care and upkeep. Like some judgments, this joke goes on too long and ends with a promise to incorporate a Pets Care Costs Corner in a future edition once
