Chris Dale has emailed in the following comment... Good article by Andrew Haslam. Mine (more about reasons for going than for what was said or shown) is at http://chrisdale.wordpress.com/2008/02/13/why-no-uk-lawyers-at-legaltech/ Andrew’s point about the export of UK concepts of proportionality and reasonableness takes practical form next week. I have been involved in arranging for HHJ Simon Brown QC to join a panel of otherwise US judges at the IQPC conference in New York. His message will be on exactly those points – see my account of his speech at the Marcus Evans conference in January.
