About this ebook
A dubious collection of entirely fictitious ‘law reports’ which are indistinguishable from the real thing. The twelve reported cases include: Stingo v. Ingots – the leading case on the Anagrams Act 1992-in which the longstanding rule in R v Eltham Hamlet, ex parte Peatrex is fully explored; Practice Direction No. 7 (Judicial Eating Habits) – which suggests a spurious menu for a legal banquet including such delights as Mock Court Soup, Red Herring, Duck the Issue, Raspberries Sotto Voce and Cracked Trial in a Crumbling Case.
‘One can truly say of this work – as for so few of its kind – that it is an essential addition to every lawyer’s bookshelf … [the author’s] clear message, amply reinforced by the authorities, is that the most fragile of arguments can be given unassailable credence by the timely use of the telling phrase … If your reviewer has a quibble, it is perhaps that the index actually works: … I had hoped for a really poor index.’--The Justices’ Clerk
