I am a big fan of the Industrial Relations Law Reports, which I find is much fresher than the Industrial Case Reports and feel it selects a better choice of cases. I still await the day when one of my cases is reported in it and I was disproportionately excited to discover the inclusion this month of Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary v Adams, which cites a case in which I was involved. Rather tangential, I know.

I greatly enjoy the commentary of Michael Rubenstein in the ‘Highlights’ section and, indeed, he was part of the inspiration for me in starting this blog. Therefore, it was disappointing to also find out that he thinks that Buckland is a good decision. The moral as always is not to be too dependent upon heroes.
