PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Keeper!]

Checked this figure with a commercial silk the other day and he said it seemed high. About half that by his reckoning, which is around where I guessed it would be.

It could be right, there’s billions at stake tbf, but I think it’s likely to be lower than £5k an hour fwiw.

Cheers, out of interest what would a "regular" KC charge?

Commercial? Was told starting from about a grand an hour.

I'm not a barrister but i've been in courts and I preferred paper bundles

what were you being accused of?






























not actually being called dave
and not actually being from didsbury?

Some people prefer the tactility and flexibility of paper, especially as it’s a known quantity and a medium they’ve operated with for many years. If those papers are ours then I guess Pannick will prefer operating that way, and like a chef with his knives he will want it ‘just so’ in his workplace, so he can perform to his best. It’s his case to run as he sees fit.

Things are more digitalised now, but it’s not obligatory upon the person conducting the case, although they will still need to use that platform more widely in the hearing, such as with witnesses.

Don’t think there’s any grandstanding, as it looks a bit daft and anachronistic imo.

Agreed! people do prefer the tactility and flexibility of paper as I'm sure trying to wipe your arse with an i pad wouldn't be very comfortable

He was charged with falsifying seat counting records.

And expensive.

Everything here is hypothetical, we aren't getting any news of how the tribunal is going are we?

The first thing we find out will be the last thing we find out surely?

I'm not being funny but how the funk would esteemedkompany know that?
How?

Did he sneak in unnoticed?

Ah the joys of social media, the just reel folks in.

He doesn't seem like a frivolous poster (Esteemed Kompany). If the tweet was made, I imagine his information was given and he posted in good faith.

And as my accountant once told me...'look around this office, is there anything you see that is not imflammable?
