The Fifth CourtShow Notes
The Fifth Court — Episode 133 Presented by barristers Mark Tottenham and Peter Leonard.
This episode opens with Josepha Madigan — solicitor, former cabinet minister and family-law mediator — on why mediation is gaining ground, what makes it work, and how practice culture is changing for clients and lawyers alike.
Then Mark and Peter review three recent Decisis cases (case-note segment sponsored by Charltons Solicitors & Collaborative Practitioners): A Court of Appeal judgment on alleged ineffective legal representation. A High Court ruling that quashed a same-day trial conviction on fair-trial grounds. A further decision testing procedural fairness and preparation time in summary proceedings. Clear takeaways — and the practical implications for practitioners and clients. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
