  1. Concerning the legalisation of #pluginsolar in the UK, there is one question open (for us) and maybe there is a #lawyer here who can answer it:

    The UK "legalized" #pluginpv but didn't change any law concerning the right of #tenants to use it. The guidance simply says "ask your #landlord”.

    Is the use of pluginsolar now subject to the whims of the landlord or does UK law give the tenant a right to install it, as its a generally legal and regulated technical device?

  10. A quotation from Shakespeare

    BASSANIO: In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt
       But, being seasoned with a gracious voice,
       Obscures the show of evil?

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Merchant of Venice, Act 3, sc. 2, l. 77ff (3.2.77-79) (1597)

  14. My session for PLTG (Professional Legal Trainers Group) went well this morning. "Learning Management Systems - Which One, and Why?" had good attendance and a nice parade of LMS vendors too.
    Happy Friday - sun sets tonight AFTER SEVEN - - 7:01 oh yeah

  15. But I've seen some outside of an educational context as well. This one is absolutely horrific. It's another case of a #lawyer using an LLM to generate #court filings of one type or another, without even checking its output to see if the brief makes sense, cites actual case #law, etc.

    This is a #sanctions order from a #judge in this particular case. It is gripping reading.
    cases.justia.com/federal/distr

    In short: the lawyer was caught submitting briefs with "hallucinated" #citations, either to cases that did not exist, or to cases that were unrelated to the legal point the citation was being used to uphold. An opposing #counsel contacted their firm about such an incorrect citation, and the firm did some cleanup, did some continuing legal education, instituted an "AI" policy, instructed the #attorney about what was forbidden, etc. And then that attorney ... just kept on doing it. Even after judges started noticing problems in submissions, this lawyer just kept doing it.

    It was so bad that it basically caused the #implosion of the law firm.

    Incredible.

  16. On November 14, two #Montreal #police officers assaulted Dimitri Lascaris when he attempted to enter the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel, where #Canadian #PrimeMinister #MarkCarney was giving a speech.

    This is by no means that first time that he's been assaulted by the #cops in Montreal. These experiences have become a regular occurrence whenever he tries to attend speeches by Ministers in the #CanadianGovernment.

    This time, however, he managed to capture the assault on video.

    As he explains in his report from outside the hotel, it is now obvious that Lascaris has been placed on a government #blacklist. Although he's a #lawyer in good standing and a card-carrying member of the press - facts about which Canada's government is undoubtedly aware - it’s clear that the Liberal government has instructed Montreal police and the #RCMP to prevent Lascaris from entering any building where a Minister of the Canadian government is speaking - and to use force, if necessary, to exclude him.

  17. I think the English made a big mistake when they borrowed the word "disgorge" from the French.

    Luckily, I'm not a lawyer, otherwise, I'd have a fit of giggles every time that word is used in court.

    Mind the warning:

    NOT FOR EASILY DISTURBED PEOPLE. IT IS PRETTY DISGUSTING! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

    “I was shocked to see the post. It is #blatantly #discriminatory & blatantly contrary to the provisions of the B.C. #HumanRights Code,” she says. “As a lawyer, I can't imagine that anybody who posted an ad like that was familiar with the laws in B.C. surrounding #discrimination & #tenancy .”
