@sargo @BIGPartnership @kevinquantum Thanks so much for the invite. Mind is still blown by the bottle through the table trick… hopefully nobody requires legal advice, as I am putting my team full time onto researching how this was done! Current working theory: Kevin is an actual wizard.

@Shoosmiths colleague Fiona Cameron's thoughts on the Moveable Transactions (Scotland) Act in today's @ScottishLegal -very important to those in the ABL space, and well worth a read: https://t.co/QmL5hdtbw0

@AndrewJMSteven @lesleymcara1 @UoELawSchool @Lawscot @scotlawcom I’m so sorry to hear this. He was one of the commissioners I worked with as a legal asst many moons ago @scotlawcom, and was one of the nicest (and most intelligent) men I’ve ever met. Fond memories of him quizzing me on where the best pint of Landlords was served locally! RIP

My latest Insolvency briefing in the @Lawscot Journal is now out. This quarter we examine the question, when is a creditor not a creditor? And does that differ between England and Scotland?

@NeuroBarrister This might be the most Matt Stockwell post I have ever seen…. 😂

[Andrew Foyle @AFoyle_Lawyer]

@sargo @DownloadFest Woo hoo! I’d best start stocking up on deodorant now…!

[Andrew Foyle @AFoyle_Lawyer]

@IainJamesLaw Completely agree - we’ve often had to serve the same papers two or three times before you get “evidence of receipt” from the T&T website.

My latest briefing in the Journal of the Law Society of Scotland looks at another case where the Accountant in Bankruptcy's powers of review were considered by the court. Quite a body of case law building on this subject!

Important judgment from @UKSupremeCourt today in BTI 2014 LLC. First time the SC has considered directors' duties to creditors in s.172 of CA2006. The Court gives useful commentary on when the "creditor duty" might be engaged.

My colleague and co-Head of Litigation in Scotland @SClubbLawyer writes in today's @TheScotsman about the benefits of resolving your commercial disputes in Scotland. Well worth a read!

[Stuart Clubb @SClubbLawyer]

'Scotland is a world-leading location for businesses to resolve commercial disputes' - writing in today's edition of The Scotsman, I discuss the benefits for businesses conducting litigation or arbitration in Scotland https://t.co/oVsjg0J9Ek

@sargo Always preferred ‘Solway Firth’, for obvious reasons.

[Andrew Foyle @AFoyle_Lawyer]

With @TheFCA requiring firms to have an implementation plan in place for the #consumerduty by end of October, the clock is ticking. In yesterday's @ScotsFinancial my colleagues and I have some practical advice for firms on the immediate steps to take: https://t.co/FNPxU7uAoE

@Scott_Wortley Thanks for the reminder that I should dig out my Absolutely box set this weekend!

[Andrew Foyle @AFoyle_Lawyer]

@paulobrienqc @PeatWorrier All of the above, plus the Conveyancing and Feudal Reform (Scotland) Act 1970

[Andrew Foyle @AFoyle_Lawyer]

@Broonjunior @Scott_Wortley @oldscotbooks @SententiaePauli @ChloeJSKennedy @MacqueenHector Likewise I’ve always thought it was sed-ER-unt but not sure why. Suspect I was told that at some point in my early career and took it on trust!

[Andrew Foyle @AFoyle_Lawyer]

My colleagues @PaulaMilestogo (E&W), Gillian Crotty (NI) and I (Sco) were musing over the differences between our 3 jurisdictions. Here's the result. It's not a true-crime podcast, but some of my chat is almost certainly criminal...
