Really? I hadn't noticed. Are these the same law lords that are appointed
by government from the ranks of the high court judges according to how they
have supported the government of the day? Oops sorry, I meant according to how
fair they have been in their decisions. Many of these law lords have no
greater grip on reality than the rest of the "amateurs" as you call them and looking
back at a number of cases it even makes you wonder if they are from the same
planet :-)
Forgive me ranting, but now back to the subject in hand - the Durant case is
an important issue and the whole of the extension to manual files contained in
the 98 Act is in jeopardy. Without a proper decision at the highest level
(in this case Europe) we are in danger of making the Act read the same as the 84
one. In fact, because of the "biographical focus" argument, I would say we
are one step back from the 84 Act.
