    Have you bothered to read the cited case? If not, then I politely suggest you do.

    If you have then I less politely advise you to go back to law school.

    :beer:

    I don't think that this is the forum to suggest that legal qualifications always outrank armchair lawyers :)

    You made a sweeping assertion without qualification. I gave a clear uncontoversial example of statute and common law existing in parallel, when you stated that "Statute law always overrides common law". I was really targeting the casual reader who might take your assertion as gospel. I didn't need to read the cite, I have given a clear counter-example based on actual knowledge supported by the authoritative legal guide.

    Someone was wrong on the Internet... ;)

    are you saying that you are just awaiting conformation of the charges?

    £100 or £50 if paid in 14 days?

    And Rimmington makes it clear that the Supreme court and the House of Lords agrees with that position. Statute Law overrides Common Law, and Common Law cannot be extended to fit the facts if it's not already a crime. :cool:

    BTW, I don't practise law professionally, but I do win in court and Employment Tribunals. So I am technically an "Armchair Lawyer" too.

    Anyway, I am waiting to hear from Defence Counsel about today's case. As soon as she gets home from Manchester... :beer:

    Is that the £57mill they will have to pay back to Crapita?
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    I believe GMP may be too busy photographing and shredding truckloads of documents relating to their "past mistakes"

    That doesn't concur with information I have. However, the information I have is now covered under the Contempt of Court Act 1981.
