Fundamental dishonesty update: Court of Appeal has confirmed that there is no presumption of indemnity costs awarded against defendants who have failed to prove allegations of dishonesty. Interesting case where I believe the Court of Appeal have arrived at the correct and sensible decision. In my experience insurers and insureds will never sign off on making positive allegations of fundamental dishonesty without supportive evidence. Equally, those advising will not present such advice unless there is compelling evidence (which is more than just coincidence or speculation). Allegations of FD are serious matters and have severe consequences, so careful thought is needed before introducing such issue into a case. This case is a useful reminder and warning to defendants to ensure there are good compelling reasons to allege FD (preferably with supportive factual or expert evidence). #fundamentaldishonesty #personalinjury #insuranceclaims

🌟 A New Era of Justice: The Blindfold is Off! 🌟 I'm happy to share an important moment in India's legal history with the unveiling of the new Lady Justice statue at the Supreme Court. The statue, now shown without a blindfold, represents a significant change in how we view justice. Why This Matters: 🔍 Transparency Over Blindness: The traditional blindfold has been removed, symbolizing that justice is not blind to the realities of society. It emphasizes the importance of awareness and understanding in judicial processes. 📜 Constitution as the Foundation: Instead of a sword, Lady Justice now holds a copy of the Indian Constitution. This change underscores that our legal system is grounded in constitutional values rather than mere authority. ⚖ Balance and Impartiality: The scales of justice remain, reminding us that fairness and impartiality are paramount. Courts must weigh all arguments carefully before reaching a verdict. This transformation reflects our ongoing journey to shed colonial legacies and commit to delivering justice that is equitable for all citizens. As we embrace this new representation, let’s strive for a legal system that recognizes and upholds the dignity of every individual. #Justice #SupremeCourt #IndianConstitution #LegalReform #Equity

In the Land of the Will, Clarity is King. Your will is probably the most important document you will ever sign, and a recent Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) decision confirms once again how critical it is to ensure that it is professionally drawn to reflect your wishes clearly and unambiguously. Let’s explore the legal principles involved and the “golden rule of interpretation” in the context of a bitter dispute between a financially-struggling widow on the one hand, and her three step-children on the other. Each contended for a different interpretation of the will, and the Court had to decide which interpretation correctly reflected the deceased’s intentions. Read more: https://buff.ly/4aSBTvo

What the Bible says about Corrupt Judges IT IS TIME FOR THESE SIX JUSTICES OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE US TO RESIGN AS THEY HAVE SHOWN BY THEIR ACTIONS THAT THEY NO LONGER CAN JUDGE WITH IMPARTIALITY, FAIRNESS, HONESTY AND WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR Proverbs 17:23 The wicked accepts a bribe in secret to pervert the ways of justice. Deuteronomy 27:25 The reference is to taking bribes that lead to the death of the innocent, most often in a judicial context. Such bribes are by nature “under the counter,” since the cornerstone of any properly functioning jurisprudence is impartiality (Leviticus 19:15; Deuteronomy 10:17-18, I Timothy 5:21; James 2:1, 9). Judges are to be unimpeachably honest, disinterested. This is, of course, in reference to the ninth commandment, forbidding bearing false witness (see Exodus 20:16 and more specifically, Exodus 23:7-8).   Isaiah 1:21-26 Isaiah 1:21-26 is especially interesting because it describes the harlotry principle working within the social justice system. Judges were selling themselves out through accepting bribes or for personal advantage in some other area of life, and counselors—lawyers—were giving bad advice to tip the scales of "justice" favorably for their careers. Under such corruption, justice in Israel was difficult to find, so difficult that "the prudent keep silent at that time, for it is an evil time"
