Sir Colin Rimer

[notnutnut]

I know he used to be a judge but believe he retired. I was told recently he's still involved in some way at RCJ though but if this is true, in what capacity is he involved. Could anyone shed any light on this for me please ? Many thanks !

Hi £N
this is a non-answer really

I notice that Sir C went to my old college but er he did better than I did ! and coincidentally has been involved in Barmaid's fave trust cases ( Stack v Dowden and Kernott v Jones ).

He might be doing 'locums' for the High court - standing in, .
Sir Oliver Popplewell ( Justice Cocklecarrott of Private Eye ) used to do this after retirement - esp in Libel because it was said he was the only one who understood the law of libel. - [alot of the normal rules are reversed in libel]

Anyway good luck and nice to see you back

Good morning PP,thanks for that,the locum thing seems the most likely reason his name was linked to my case. Interesting item re Cocklecarrot in Private Eye (very amusing cover on the current issue) Trust cases are Barmaids forte then are they,I did look at Stack v Dowden,very complex area I thought and libel's probably even worse I think. Longmore,McFarlane and Gloster are the three L.J.s hearing the 'oral' bit of this case,seems like it's going to be just me putting it to them,daunting. I've got another post up just before this one without an answer as yet and thanks again for your help.
