Tales of the Courtroom and other odd tales.

By C. Davies

A few short court cases involving a newly qualified Solicitor to break his teeth on. The kind of cases that never hit the headlines, but happen frequently in the lower courts. They may seem a little far fetched but they are true, unfortunately!
