PI Brief Update

JudgeLooseCannon

My opponent opened his case today with the following words: “This is an appeal from District Judge…” I won’t mention his name and will only go so far as to say that he is notorious enough in the South East that the name JudgeLoooseCannon is not far off.

Anyway, the circuit judge hearing the appeal interrupted my opponent at that stage and with a completely straight face said: “Yes, yes, and what are the other grounds of appeal.”

Despite the fact that the judge may have taken his response from an apocryphal story and also that it reflected badly on his view of my own case, it did raise a smirk in court, particularly I noticed the court clerk suggesting that it can’t have been the first appeal he’d heard from.
