As I have said before it is Middlesbrough Music Live on Sunday. It is an entirely free event and probably my favourite live act of all time are headlining. Come and see Ash in Centre Square and here is one of their lesser known hits:

I have been dealing with two absolute refusals of Unified Criminal Contracts – form submission issues. The fixed deadline for these is tea time Monday. I must spare you the details for now but one of these involves a dispute about the receipt by the LSC of one of the (I would say non-essential) subsidiary […]
Here is someone else not happy with things, in this case the Litigators Graduated Fee Scheme. I have to say we are receiving a mixed post bag on this with a significant proportion of corespondents reporting improved billing. Opinions on the subject are however pretty polarised.

Today was CDS topics, Police Station standard and the Litigators fees, tomorrow Civl Peer Review. Trouble is todays activities have aggravated the shoulder I pulled at the weekend damn and Sandra has booked me out on […]
Whilst I was updating Peer Review course notes for Wednesday time has slipped by and I have gone without lunch. I will therefore have an A5, C5 and H5 lunch out of our antique vending machine. Not the healthy option. Ice cream van has just turned up too.
News of CDS contract awards are filtering thorough with the anticipated application of the new allocation rules. This includes refusing “expansion” into second schemes but also the removal of some firms from panels on which they have traditionally operated – the example in front of me on the basis of a rigid application of the […]
