Dawkins causes population crisis shock!

Further to my last post I read today that Dawkins is being blamed for falling birth rates across Europe ! This would be laughable, but for the fact that our government has recently seen fit to elevate the author of this nonsense, Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks , to a position in the upper house of this country's Parliament. His argument appears to be that secularism equals selfishness and immorality. This...

Obama Administration Agrees to Reverse Increase in Truckers Allowable Hours of Driving

The length of truckers’ on-the-road shifts is an important issue for Missouri big rig accident attorneys like me. Research and common sense show that driving for very long hours leaves drivers tired, and very tired drivers can get into serious...

No fossil rabbits in the Precambrian

When I am ready to shuffle off this mortal coil I will not be able to console myself with the thought that I did anything useful with my life. I did not make any great scientific discoveries, I did not save lives and I did not teach children the wonders of the world. I was a lawyer . Still, it could have been worse - I could have been a politician. Why these depressing thoughts? Well, I have just finished...

Needs Must

Reading the big-money cases reported over the years and dealing (occasionally) with cases involving significant wealth myself, I've often been amused by the amounts that parties claim they need to live on. However, a case hitting the headlines in America takes the amusement to a whole new level. Jamie McCourt is the wife of Frank McCourt, the owner of the LA Dodgers baseball team (although his sole...

Control, or React?

I posted a few days ago about the Law Commission's proposal that cohabitants should have an entitlement on intestacy. My good friend John Hirst of Jailhouselawyer's Blog has drawn my attention to this article in The Times , in which Ross Clark (left) argues against the proposal, saying that: " For any cohabiting couples who don’t like the inheritance laws there is a simple answer —...

And to All, Agood Night - Going on Hiatus

This year has been rocky with this blog as it has been for this part of my practice. With the current economy, it seems unlikely to grow and I need the time I would need to spend on this blog and this practice area in other areas which can keep the bills paid. Even that might be too optimistic at this time. In the past month alone I have been dealing with flu, an eight year old with a broken leg and...

Inconsistent

The point has already been made , but it does seem a little odd that the Law Commission is proposing that cohabitants should have an entitlement on intestacy , while at the same time the Government has shelved plans to give cohabitants property rights upon separation. If the Law Commission's proposals are passed into law, we could have the very strange situation whereby if your partners dies intestate...
