@Jimllpaintit

Hey Jim - could you fix it for me to settle an argument, please?

@loosewomen The law regarding grandparents and contact with grandchildren is always from the perspective of the CHILD. The question is what is in the best interests of the child. The question is not what rights the grandparents have, nor - in fact - what rights the parents have.

@GetBritainOut Everybody in this thread has already given the reasons why this criticism of the Supreme Court is nonsense. It is simply the final court of appeal in this country, nothing more. If you bother to read the Article 50 judgment etc then it’s clear the Supreme Court applied the law.

[Gareth-Lee Smith @gls_law]

@garydchance @GetBritainOut I’m not sure who you’re saying have no liability, but:

1. You can approach a barrister directly without a solicitor. It’s called the public access scheme.

2. Both solicitors and barristers can be sued for negligence. There used to be an exemption for barristers, but not now

[Gareth-Lee Smith @gls_law]

If you have a legal problem that needs reviewing by an expert then look no further. I’m one if a number of barristers licensed to deal directly with businesses and members of the public.

Getting the right advice at the right time is essential. Feel free to DM me.

@rehanaparv @rajnaara Great, thanks Rehana - could you please follow me so that I can send you my email address?

[Gareth-Lee Smith @gls_law]

@rehanaparv @rajnaara And likely more on point: meet the requirements of a civil marriage so as to engage the MCA1973 for the protection of both parties to the marriage.

[Gareth-Lee Smith @gls_law]

@rehanaparv @rajnaara for the registration of marriages? Not particularly onerous requirements, but not automatically met either.

I would be very interested to read your research on the subject. I hope that you are well.

@JohnHyde1982 And I thought Geoffrey Cox QC MP was doing an admirable job of defending the judiciary, but then he too just said something along the lines of "Far be it from me to know why dissenting judges declined to dissent if that's what they did". For God's sake.

[Gareth-Lee Smith @gls_law]

@zatzi No. Why would we? Judges are politically neutral, and voting is meant to be secret. Stop stirring the pot.

[Gareth-Lee Smith @gls_law]

@JoshuaRozenberg @colemancr @BBCDomC too

[Gareth-Lee Smith @gls_law]

@bbcpolitics Absolutely wrong for any commentator to say that the Supreme Court would always try and strive for unanimity. That doesn't have any basis at all. There are 11 very learned judges all capable of reaching their own opinion.

[Gareth-Lee Smith @gls_law]

Perhaps @JoshuaRozenberg @colemancr want to put their colleagues right.

[Gareth-Lee Smith @gls_law]

It's the sort of thing that will open the gates to real suspicions of a fix by anybody who is a casual observer. In truth there is no likelihood of that at all.

[Gareth-Lee Smith @gls_law]

I have absolutely no doubt that if any one of them wanted to dissent then that would have been abundantly clear.

[Gareth-Lee Smith @gls_law]

@JohnHyde1982 @BenBrownBBC It's the sort of question that needs to be asked only of somebody who would know intimately the true answer. Perhaps Lords Neuberger and Sumption.

[Gareth-Lee Smith @gls_law]

@JohnHyde1982 It's been repeatedly asked by @benbrownbbc of various people he has interviewed. Sadly, at least one expert (I didn't catch her name) agreed.

[Gareth-Lee Smith @gls_law]

@JoshuaRozenberg @colemancr @JohnHyde1982 too, perhaps.
