On the subject of contempt of court, Obiterventures to correct Mrs Justice Lang DBE over a stinging put-down in a judgment pub-lished last week.
Discussing whether a bar standards tribunal would be influenced by an article in the Gazette, Lang noted that solicitors are the Gazette’s target audience.
She commented: ‘It would be surprising if lay members read these articles, and it cannot be assumed that barristers and judges would read the Gazetteon a regular basis, if at all.’
Obiter respectfully begs to submit that several hundred barristers subscribe to the Gazette app every week.
