@EGoldLdn @5SAHLaw @dennishamill77 Thank you for drawing my attention to the BBC v GMC case. The GMC rules have changed since then but it is probably still good law on whether the tribunal is 'exercising the judicial power of the state' for purposes of Contempt of Court Act 1981.

[Amy Woolfson @AmyWoolfson]

@EGoldLdn @5SAHLaw @dennishamill77 I think it is possible, though I am not aware of any case law on the point. E.g. if a party published an unauthorised recording of proceedings, it could be caught by s.9 Contempt of Court Act 1981.

Professional discipline: evidence from abroad. The current position, and some of the challenges for statutory regulators.

@LawtonEm I can't think of a single sensible reason why chambers would want to know someone's GCSE results. Plus it introduces potential bias - if you did GCSE Latin you probably went to a fee paying school...

[Virginia Mantouvalou @vmantouvalou]

I wrote a piece for the @labour_blog on ‘Pay for Work in Prison’

People in prison spend a lot time working, sometimes for private, profit-making entities, and they are paid extremely little. This is wrong.

@yuanyi_z It's not spiteful. It's a book review.

This is a really interesting lecture on the science and the law of witness demeanour.

@GarySSteel @OpenUniversity Thank you!

@AmyWoolfson makes successful submission of no case to answer. Amy was instructed on behalf of a nurse in NMC proceedings

The nurse is able to continue his practice as a nurse with his reputation intact. Amy was instructed by @theRCN
