This judgment explores the principles when remitting a case back to a new panel. In particular, it highlights the significance of the public interest in a full and proper determination of serious allegations made against a practitioner.

@thebarcouncil @lawsocgazette This is a hugely overdue change that will bring the Bar in line with solicitors. I am surprised that there are those that object to this sensible proposal when no solicitor objects to only being admitted to the Roll upon completion of their training contract.

@HealthRegLawyer The trick is to do what I now do and live here! Leaving before 6am works fairly well; leaving after 6pm (from Cornwall) or 8pm (to go to Cornwall) works better. Most hotels don’t like 2am arrivals though.

Delighted to have been instructed by @BlakeMorganLLP and @The_HCPC in the first case considering this issue.

The High Court confirms meaning of "racially motivated” in context of social media & professional discipline. @GuyMicklewright instructed by the HCPC

Following a case in which I recently appeared, both in the High Court and in the Court of Appeal, in this article I discuss the very strict approach to extending the time limit for filing a statutory appeal and how to avoid falling foul of this easy pitfall.

The Court of Appeal gave judgment in respect of an appeal against a decision of the High Court to strike out the Appellant’s appeal for being filed out of time.

@GuyMicklewright was instructed by @BlakeMorganLLP.

@crimlawuk 3/. The answer, in my view, heavily depends on just how historically ‘current’ that individual is and the context of their actions at the time. Given the amount of time that has passed, retaining the historical record is more valuable than signalling our distaste of his actions.

[Guy Micklewright @GuyMicklewright]

@crimlawuk 2/. Statues perform two functions. First, which is what they are created for, is for the state to celebrate the achievements and personage of the person in question. Second, it forms, as do books and art, part of the historical record. That function is incidental to the first.

[Guy Micklewright @GuyMicklewright]

@crimlawuk 1/. A great question. I see you’ve not distinguished between ostensibly lawful and unlawful methods of destruction. The “there are no statues of Hitler” argument doesn’t really work - there are plenty of Stalin in existence and he was hardly a champion of human rights

@HealthRegLawyer @5SAHLaw Was lovely to finally meet you Andrea, I’m sorry we didn’t get to chat for longer!

@afmr283 Well done for getting this far without doing so!

[Guy Micklewright @GuyMicklewright]

@HealthRegLawyer I’ve taken as long as 12 hours and as little as an hour. The former was my first CLT presentation on the helpfully confined of topic of “evidence”. If I’m simply recycling and updating slides for training on straightforward topics then two to three hours is usually enough

[Guy Micklewright @GuyMicklewright]

@fieldsportstv 3/ in Competition and Markets Authority v Flynn Pharma Ltd & Anor. If the SC makes it easier to obtain costs awards against regulators it’s an argument for adopting the same approach in firearms licensing appeals. As matters stand the police risk little when seizing guns.

[Guy Micklewright @GuyMicklewright]

@fieldsportstv 2/ gun seizures by correspondence with the police through solicitors. That is starting to become more difficult. The current costs regime doesn’t help successful appellants either, although that may change depending on the decision of the Supreme Court

[Guy Micklewright @GuyMicklewright]

@fieldsportstv 1/ This is becoming more and more extraordinary. I’m not persuaded the rush to seize guns on spurious grounds is a result of the statutory guidance changing or this wouldn’t be so prevalent in just Devon and Cornwall. There was a time when one could effectively challenge
