Any way, my first case in the Supreme Court was to decide the scope of a values duties - mortgage fraud! The second case was much more interesting as it was a jurisdictional point and I had to get opinions from lawyers all over Europe. It was really interesting talking to lawyers from different jurisdictions with different systems of law. The barrister we instructed to speak for us in the Supreme Court was one of the top lawyers in the UK. He didn't impress me and I argued with him a few time but he told the client we would win 5 - 0 (there were 5 judges hearing the case). Unsurprisingly we lost with all 5 in agreement 😆...the client didn't mind as we had delayed payment but good job they weren't relying on his opinion. Your daily job sounds like you do good work - someone has to sort that stuff out! Ruth
