    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

  • Just an aside - Nick Bowen is Jeremy Bowen's brother - JB as in the well-known BBC journalist. I used him once many years ago in a case.

    Depending on how one reads this, it does give two quite different pictures. :rotfl:

    Was it a big case?

  • Lol - I "used" him as Counsel, it wasn't a big case and it was many years ago, I just recognised him and when I look at his picture now he definitely resembles his brother, but I didn't think so at the time. I love trivia so was just sharing!!!
