I am often asked if I take on cases on a “no win, no fee” basis and my usual answer is “no”. The reason for this is simple. My view is if the plaintiff/complainant does not have skin in the game it will encourage frivolous, meritless claims. However, I do recognise certain situations where the… Continue reading No win, no fee cases
Attending WRC hearings in person-a rethink is in order?
Today is day 2 of a WRC hearing I am involved in, the first day having taken place back in June 2023. It is possible that it will go for a further day after day but I certainly hope not. I am beginning to consider carefully the wisdom and cost effectiveness of me personally running… Continue reading Attending WRC hearings in person-a rethink is in order?
Justifying getting a new camera (Sony ZV-E10)
I derive a great deal of satisfaction, and business, from making and publishing videos online. I have a genuine interest in the filmmaking process and editing and making the videos a little better over time. The fact that they drive an enormous amount of leads and clients is a nice bonus, too. For this reason,… Continue reading Justifying getting a new camera (Sony ZV-E10)
The deep satisfaction in deleting offensive comments
When you publish a lot of content on social media, as I do, it is inevitable that certain individuals will publish comments that are insulting, inappropriate, degrading etc. It gives me a great deal of satisfaction deleting such comments or simply blocking the person.

Thanks for your kindness-a powerful act
I am often contacted by students of law looking for part time work or to get into the office as an intern. This is perfectly understandable as the student wants to see what a law office is really like and make the connection between their studies and the law in practice. I have limited enough… Continue reading Thanks for your kindness-a powerful act
TikTok reply videos
I did my first TikTok reply videos this week. I did two one day during lunchtime. These reply videos are simply short videos replying to a comment from a previous video of mine. It is incredibly easy to do them, and they are an excellent way to generate further content for my channel and grow… Continue reading TikTok reply videos
Buying property at a BidX1 auction
There’s a guy contacting me on and off for a few weeks now on one of the social media platforms. He is considering bidding on a BidX1 property and appears to recognise the sense in getting title checked out beforehand. He has made enquiries of me as to whether I provide such a service and… Continue reading Buying property at a BidX1 auction
Have I a case?
I often come across individuals who believe they have ‘a case’ against their employer and want my agreement and encouragement. Often, I must tell them that I do not believe they have any valid, winnable claim. And they come back again and again asking this question and that question and trying to find something to… Continue reading Have I a case?
I hung this smoke damaged painting in my office last week
I hung up this painting in my office last week. It had been hanging in my garage at home for many years and I had not paid much attention to it. It is smoke damaged from a fire which damaged the garage and boundary trees around our property around 10 years ago. It is a… Continue reading I hung this smoke damaged painting in my office last week
You’ll eat this, we know best
I was at an expensive restaurant in the last few days and was greatly looking forward to it. However, I was disappointed. Not so much by the food but the menu which I viewed as extremely limited. As if they knew best as to what I should be eating. The main course comprised four choices:… Continue reading You’ll eat this, we know best
