Here is a man to admire. He works very hard dealing with ghastly criminal cases and is high up in the Chimpanzee Society ( whether he is high up in chimpanzee society is another matter but he is ace at peeling bananas).
Anyway, i have word from a decent person in the MOJ that the Judge has been called in to see the Lord Chancellor. The 'problem' is that in a hearing the Judge considered the advocates so bad that , understandably , he began to gently bang his head on the bench.Note that he did not do what Peter Smith J. did which provoked a recent rebuke from the Court of Appeal and that was to make his mind up on the documents without wanting to hear argument. On the contrary, HH Judge Carr was listening . It was what he heard that caused him to hurt himself and no one else.
