Legal London’s venerable outfitter has our sympathy this week. Ede & Ravenscroft staff arrived on Tuesday morning to find one of the shop windows smashed through, leaving shattered glass scattered across the display.
A light-fingered and impecunious barrister trying to get their hands on a £395 wig tin? No: Obiter’s theory, based on the fact that nothing appeared to have been stolen, was oafish yobbery in the small hours. But the supplier of gowns worn by judges, recorders, coroners, barristers, court clerks and court ushers has weathered worse attacks since it was established in 1689. We’re confident it will soon be looking spruce again.
