From Robert Fripp’s Facebook page today:

Endless Grief undermined my confidence in the process of law, the public-school educated, the English Gentleman, chartered accountants and the professions, players within public life and charities: pretty much all those institutions that were an end-result of a long process of developing-standards in public and national life throughout C19-20th. Britain. In the postwar Dorset of my youth, I was brought up to have confidence in these institutions. In attempting to understand the mechanics of Endless Grief, I am also attempting to understand the present era: an Age Of Greed characterized by the Abuse Of Trust.

How to see all of this? The universe in a grain of sand, the Human Condition in one sorry management firm?

Development firm loses another appeal.


The EG Way continues?
DQ’s Tara Cubbon acted for Lloyds Bank International Limited (the “Bank”) in successfully striking out the claim by The Slegaby Estate Limited (“TSEL”) and Samuel George Alder (“Mr Alder”) against the Bank pursuant to the doctrine of res judicata and as an abuse of process...
His Worship further held that TSEL and Mr Alder had failed to treat the First Proceedings as they should have done. They had no excuse for not pursuing matters fully and adopting an “unduly casual attitude” in their response. This was contrary to the onus in the 2009 Rules on the expedition of litigation and the avoidance of multiplicity of proceedings and in His Worship’s view was an attempt to have “a second bite of the cherry” following the dismissal of their appeal in the First Proceedings.

Court confirms law on res judicata and abuse of process.
