  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?

  3. Richard Daynard — the same #lawyer who secured a $206 billion #settlement from the tobacco industry is now taking on online sports bookies #DraftKings and #FanDuel.

    The lawsuit also names the #NFL and its data partner, #GeniusSports, for providing innumerable stats to #sportsbooks that enable myriad addictive in-game #gambling schemas & #bets on nearly every player movement.

  5. Three thoughts out of the #LuigiMangione #court #hearings...

    1) the #police clearly didn't take the #arrest seriously (they thought it was just a weirdo with a forged ID, possibly just harassing a homeless man), and botched the initial #investigation. This will be useful for his defense #lawyer.

    2) #Mangione giving police fake names and a fake #ID shows he either purposefully got himself arrested, or is very insane. It's also possible he was copying the actual #UnitedHealthcare #CEO #assassin, passing off the names and IDs he was known to have, getting caught with what looked like "evidence". Remember: lots of people sympathize with the shooter. All this could easily be his defense.

    3) The more we find out about how he got caught, the more I'm realizing how someone who does this might be able to avoid being caught, leaving the act to speak for itself, blending in with everyone else who sympathized, and creating plausible deniability it they are ever arrested.

    "We live in #InterestingTimes" indeed...

  8. …If confirmed, #EdMartin would…direct an office that prosecuted advisers to #Trump — including Martin allies #RogerStone & #MikeFlynn — as well as Dem atty Gregory B. Craig in past federal investigations into #Russia #influence ops.

    …Martin has posed a challenge for the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, not only bc of his lack of experience as a prosecutor or trial #lawyer but also bc of the volume of his statements on social media & in traditional media, & the unusual extent of his omissions.

  9. #LegalEthics Tidbit: Fraudulent Billing is Not a “Professional Service”

    A FL law firm was sued for allegedly billing time not worked. Its insurer denied any duty to defend because false billing is not “performing or failing to perform” a “professional service”. The Court agreed.
