Foreign jurisdictions try to lure legal business from London
There was a time when it was said that English judges only regard South African judges as their equal.
Perhaps the judges are still high quality but this Constitutional concoction we had forced onto us, has done much to destroy a legal system carefully crafted over decades in a novel fashion.
LOFTILY as they may disdain the profit motive, Britain’s judges are, on a national level, money-spinners. English law is often specified as the one under which commercial contracts are to be interpreted and enforced. And disputes often end up being heard in British courts. But, like any business, the law is competitive, and other jurisdictions want to snatch a share of this market. London is mounting its defences.
