Ayesha Smart, appearing before our very own Mr Recorder Myerson KC, successfully managed to settle her Civil fast track trial in her clients’ favour.
And finally, as we are “Sailing” towards a long weekend….
Nigel Edwards client has avoided custody after admitting destroying model railways. The defendants caused over £30,000 worth of damage. This is the case where Rod Stewart donated £10,000 of his own money to a just giving page set up to compensate the victims of the damage. Rod Stewart hasn’t been approached for comment but we imagine that he would say “I don’t want to talk about it “ but “Every Picture tells a story”
