Abercrombie and others v Aga Rangemaster Ltd [2013] EWCA Civ 1148; [2013] WLR (D) 381
“The question governing liability to make guarantee payments under section 28 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was whether the employee ‘would normally be required to work [on the day in question] in accordance with his contract of employment’. The fact that an agreement introducing changes to an employee’s working hours was temporary did not prevent the day in question remaining ‘normally’ a working day.”

“Blaming over-zealous police or irresponsible prosecutors for miscarriages of justice makes for a simple and straightforward narrative, writes Daniel Newman. As with most things, though, the reality is more complicated, and defence lawyers may also have a role to play. This being the case, the neat binary opposition we so rely on in criminal justice is somewhat obscured.”

Regina (Barclay and another) v Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice and others (No 2)
“Where remedy could be sought in the courts of the Bailiwick of Guernsey and of the Island of Sark, there was great force in the argument that judicial review of advice given by the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice to the Committee for the Affairs of Sark as to the compliance of legislative proposals for Sark with the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms should take place in those courts rather than in the High Court in London but where, as in the present case, the review was a further stage in a sequence of review which had entailed an earlier concession permitting review in the High Court, it would be wrong for the High Court to decline jurisdiction.”
