Justice on the Strand

In my last blogpost I mentioned some big civil cases coming up in 2014. Most of these concern major commercial disputes. Occasionally one comes to the Royal Courts of Justice that has wider interest.

So presently argument finished a few days ago in the Court of Appeal on a claim by the Plantagenet Alliance that Justice Secretary Chris Grayling had consulted insufficiently before deciding where the remains of Richard III should be buried - their Lordships have reserved judgement.

The Barbican is probably one of the most Marmite (love it or hate it) pieces of architecture in London.

Rising phoenix-like, although very slowly, from the ashes caused by the bombing firestorm of 29/30 December 1940, its mass dominates the north of the City of London.
