Generally, solicitors are referred to in judgments in a manner that suggests that what the judge really thinks is that "if only you had instructed a barrister we might have listened to you." Preferably, a member of the judge's former chambers.
Wall LJ is therefore cited for the rarity of his sentiments:
"I pause at this point to note Mr F's determination to participate in the proceedings and to care for K, and to express my admiration for Mr F's solicitor, who in an extremely tight timescale managed to obtain public funding, master the documents and conduct Mr F's case. The same solicitor was equally proactive in making an application for permission to appeal and, although the application was out of time, we had no difficulty in extending Mr F's time for filing his appellant's notice."
The award goes to Tilley & Co although the individual solicitor is not named.
Whoever he or she is, I am sure that he or she would agree that a lot of his or her colleagues merit similar praise.
The case is:
In the matter of M-H
