The whole Truth and nothing but ..
Hidden right in the middle of the city of London is the cloistered, almost secret, labyrinth of The Temples and the Inns of Court: the built analogue of the secretive, labyrinthine system that comprises the ancient British legal system. Join ex-lawyer COLIN DAVEY and practicing barrister PETER DODGE as they hold court and present the case for Legal London.
Bewigged Rumpolian barristers strolling imperiously into court? Defendants being interviewed by microphone-thrusting journalists outside the Old Bailey (the home of criminal law). Mysterious mega-billion deals being done in once smoke-filled rooms in the City? Sometimes the stereotypes have an element of truth in them but COLIN DAVEY, ex managing partner of a City law firm, will take us on a virtual tour of the secrets of London’s legal world, covering some serious history, some cases, and an appropriate dose of trivia.
In the very first chapter of Bleak House, Dickens introduces Jarndyce v Jarndyce, a “scarecrow of a suit (which) has, over the course of time, become so complicated, that no man alive knows what it means”. His satirical critique of the workings of the Court of Chancery has become well known. But what was the Court of Chancery? How did it operate? Who were its personalities? PETER DODGE invites salon-goers to join him on a journey through the dense London gloom to where “hard by Temple Bar, in Lincoln’s Inn Hall, at the very heart of the fog, sits the Lord High Chancellor in his High Court of Chancery”.
