Extremely sad that Giles Peaker has passed away.

Since pupillage, Nearly Legal's been my go-to blog for absolutely everything landlord & tenant law.

Giles was really amused when I "fan girled" him @HLPA_UK in 2024 & asked for his autograph in his brilliant book.

RIP, Giles 🙏🏾

I’ve spoken to a few people recently about why there are never members of the public at court.

They told me they feel nervy about going along & wouldn’t know what to do when they got there

So here’s why more people should go to court, and how to do it https://t.co/LuB8Gi7cPD

If anyone “lost” a set of car keys and house keys at Ipswich Crown Court today they have been found in a fellow counsel’s bag! Probably someone in the Essex area. If you are that counsel then DM and I will put you in touch with counsel who found them! @TheCriminalBar
