Want to protect your mobile phone ? A sock might work ...

The excellent K's Law blog summarised a recent decision by the Board of Appeal. In itself the decision was not all that surprising, yet for those preparing for the EQE, in particular for the new pre-exam, the summary might be worth reading.

Some more general comments about the pre-exam (derived from last weeks tutor meeting) will follow soon...
