    The Maxwell brothers' hearings are on Monday, if anybody wants to pop along to the Rolls Building. Alas, I'll be in Spain.

    Application Hearing

    IP-2018-000191 Glass Slipper Limited v Dunn and another
    If counsel doesn't use "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit", I'll be disappointed.

    Hope this isn't the chef. I quite like his restaurants, though it does seem a few have closed in recent months, so maybe it is.

    That Prick v Prick case turned out a cracker. Sample evidence:
    Meanwhile, back on Facebook, Mr Martinez responded to Ms Leon's 11 August message on 9 September 2016 by telling her to "FUCK OFF", with added expletives.

    ...

    the name PRICK has, for me, always been associated with Henry

    ...
    Lola R says in her review that she has had half a tattoo applied at the Tattoo Parlour and intends to go back for the other half. She does also appear to have been sufficiently deceived by the use of the name "PRICK" on the Cactus Shop website to leave a 5 star review of her tattoo application there. I am at a loss to understand how Lola R can believe that the Cactus Shop website has any connection with the Tattoo Parlour, given that she appears just to have come from the Tattoo Parlour and so must be well aware of the dissimilarities in style and get up of the place, compared to the website she is on. For that reason I feel that she must fall into the category of "moron in a hurry" who has been deceived but who cannot sustain a claim for passing off.

    That’s just awesome.

    I’ve already suggested that my colleagues use it their training materials.

    Not technically an insolvency filing, but a filing by a company that is surely about to be insolvent. Courtesy of Matt Levine:
    Item 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    All financial records from Access-Power, Inc. have been destroyed by
    previous management and are not available. It is very expensive to
    obtain audited reports of $0.

    **********

    THERE ARE NO FINANCIAL RECORDS, NO DEBT, NO CONVERTIBLE
    DEATH DEBENTURES, NO $18,000 IRS DEBT, NO $4,000 PRNNEWSIRES
    OLD DEBT, EMPLOYEES, or even the
    ACCR COFFEE POT WAS STOLEN!

    Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

    The Corporation is for sale. I will sell Access-Power, Inc
    for $15,000,000.00 or $.06 per share.

    Patrick J Jensen controls 53.70905% of the vote.
    Access-Power, Inc. does not issue or sell stock
    in the market place at the moment today.

    We are filing this document to bring all of
    our filings current as required by federal law.

    Access-Power's #1 priority is to solicit a Market Maker to believe
    in ACCR, and
    to give us a fighting chance to live as a business.

    And now downright weird:

    The Central African Republic has denied that Boris Becker is one of its official diplomats and said a passport the former tennis star claimed should give him diplomatic immunity from bankruptcy proceedings in the UK is invalid.

    “The diplomatic passport that he has is a fake,” the foreign ministry’s chief of staff, Cherubin Moroubama, told Agence-France Presse. He said the document’s serial number corresponded to one of a batch of passports stolen in 2014.
