Public Authority Liability

The inexperienced members of the Bar are another matter.. Will this process, in the hands of the young lawyer, be encouraged to the advantage of the client if the sword of Rule 57.07 hangs over counsel's head as a backdrop against which the strategy of presenting the client's case is developed?

Remember, remember.. remember the 31st of May, and forever remember these names.
Fucking ridiculous... who can guess the imperative of the Crowning Glory article that is recommended reading with this farce? Less than half the members voted (58/123, only 47.154471545%) which is reasonable grounds. Less than HALF OF THE MEMBERS VOTED!

This author just remembered an exquisitely relevant article from Université de Sherbrooke entitled Crowning Glory: Liability in Negligence of Public Authorities which reviews relevant case law for going after "public authorities" and other such "state actors".

The section on reshaping public authority liability is technically obiter, but it represents a strong and elegant challenge to a prevailing orthodoxy that provokes regular grumbles. I should add that this decision is further evidence of an “underground market in legal ideas“..
