Done Over By Do-Overs? - 17/04/16

In this week's show, we take a look at what happens when juries cannot reach a verdict. Take a listen right here. 

Many people, especially defendants, are quite horrified when they find out that the prosecution can decide whether it wants to have not just a second attempt but, sometimes, a third attempt!

In this episode, we consider what the "sometimes" above actually means. 

Let us know if you like the new "Bites" format (shorter and with less wine and cake) or if you are longing for a return to our longer format. If you are a law student, we'd be really grateful if you would spread the news of our show's return around your law school friends. Also, get in touch. We'd love to hear from you.

Butting Heads With Beavis - 10/04/16

You can listen to this week's show right here.

We have been away for an absolute eternity but the wait is over!

This week, we are looking at the Supreme Court decision in ParkingEye v Beavis (2015)

This is a decision that will impact on most motorists at some point in their life and will have effects in contract law as it amends a fundamental doctrine of English law. 

So, whether you are listening because you are looking into an unfair parking ticket or whether you are listening because you want to see how the Supreme Court has brutalised a long-standing legal doctrine, this brief analysis may help you.

S14E02 - Corruption

With Ben still suffering from the Dreaded Lurgy and Jonathan being AWOL, Kirstin is left to man the battlements of Northpod Towers this week.  Have a listen right here.

With all that is going in at the MoJ (for whom it has not been a good week!), we couldn't let that go by without a mention.

But before we get to that, the rather interesting case of Serious Fraud Office v Miltiades Papachristos and Dennis Kerrison.  This case concerns a legal question about amending indictments and contains some rather odd twists and turns.

All being well, we might even have a full team next week and we hope you'll join us then.
