Dear all, With apologies for posting a message which is not in any way related to the law of obligations, I thought I would let you know that I had a baby boy, Nicholas, on 29 March. We are both doing well, and although still having sleepless nights etc I am now at least able to get to my computer every so often. Those of you who are going to Obligations V may bump into Nicholas as he and his father will be on holiday in Oxford while the conference is going on. With best wishes, Charlotte Charlotte Ellis Senior Lecturer School of Law Northumbria University Newcastle-Upon-Tyne NE1 8ST 0191 227 3966 Barrister Keating Chambers 15 Essex Street London WC2R 3AA www.keatingchambers.com
