Re: And another one bites the dust!!!
I think the people on the bench were mortified to see a firm of Solicitors engage a QC as their mouthpiece against a poor woman whom they could see was very distraught and distressed. She shook like a leaf the whole way through.The comical thing about it was when the Court went to recess for lunch the Barrister asked ME if we'd like to settle out of Court.
I told him that we shouldn't be discussing the case out of earshot of the bench and that Mrs S was determined to go the distance with this one.

No Mollie darlin' a conciliated settlement is always possible. I used to be a judge on the tribunal panel too for a while. One morning when about to summon the parties into the Tribunal, they sent a message to say they were conciliating and could they have a little time. We agreed, and there we sat till lunchtime. We adjourned for lunch and on return found that the parties had agreed a settlement and had already gone home!!!
