Th at daunting task will have to wait until the other side of my bus pass. Instead, this is an account of an eye-opening and turbulent period in my life during which I discovered the shadowy side of British politics and the unacceptable face of national newspaper journalism – not as a spectator, but as the prime target. As the survivor of hundreds of gruelling commercial deals and some of the most vigorously contested boardroom battles of my generation, I thought I had seen it all. Nothing I had witnessed in my business career, however, prepared me for the dirty tricks and the criminality that I encountered from the summer of 1999 onwards. By that point, a year into my tenure as Treasurer of the Conservative Party, most people outside the worlds of business and politics would not have heard of me. In the City, I had ac- quired a reputation – one that I was not altogether unhappy with – of being a successful, if tough and unconventional, business- man. At Westminster, I was a relative new boy charged by William Hague with turning around the fortunes of the Tory Party’s fragile fi nances. Unwittingly and reluctantly, I was propelled into the pub- lic spotlight as I became the target of concerted attacks aimed at removing me as Treasurer. As the momentum of the assaults on my position increased, I began to see that their underlying pur- pose was a more sinister, indeed undemocratic, one: to damage the fi nances and credibility of Her Majesty’s Opposition and to destabilise William Hague’s position as leader of the Conserva- tive Party. Th ose trying to undermine my position as Treasurer – and in the process harming my business interests on both sides of the Atlantic – were Th e Times, one of Britain’s oldest and most infl uential newspapers, and the Labour Government, led by Tony xii Dirty Politics, Dirty Times Preface xiii Blair and his cronies.

  • Fickle Justice: Judicial Idiosyncrasy in UK Privacy Cases
    Fickle Justice: Judicial Idiosyncrasy in UK Privacy Cases PAUL WRAGGt I. INTRODUCTION In 1990, the Federal Court of Australia rejected counsel's submission that English authorities on the "public interest" defense in breach of confidence claims ought to be adopted. The court dismissively described those authorities as "not so much a rule of law as an invitation to judicial idiosyncrasy."' The same comment seems equally applicable today. As is well-established in British common law, when deciding claims for misuse of private information (which replaces breach of confidence),2 the court must decide whether the claimant's reasonable expectation of privacy is outweighed by the contribution to a debate of public interest that the publication makes.3 As the case law shows, this is usually a delicate balance that may involve fine distinctions. Yet despite judicial recognition that the "applicable principles [should] be stated with reasonable clarity ' 4 so as to avoid accusations of judicial idiosyncrasy, the approach taken to determining the question of "public interest" remains an invitation to such, especially where celebrities' private lives are involved. Recent developments suggest broad diversity in the methodology of evaluating the worth of privacy-invading expression in which both skeptical and generous approaches are evident. These idiosyncratic factors are the subject of discussion in this Article.5 By examining the recent case law, it will be argued that since the public interest test pervades a range of measures relating to the misuse of private information tort, the issue of judicial idiosyncrasy must be addressed by an appellate court. The adoption of the skeptical approach as tLecturer in Law, School of Law, University of Leeds, UK.

    Rake and Rumpole – mavericks for justice: Purity and impurity in legal professionalism Author Flood, John Published 2020 Book Title Law, Lawyers and Justice: Through Australian Lenses Version Submitted Manuscript (SM) DOI https://doi.org/10.4324/9780429288128-11 Copyright Statement © 2020 Taylor & Francis. This is an Accepted Manuscript of a book chapter published by Routledge in Law, Lawyers and Justice: Through Australian Lenses on 1 April 2020, available online: https://doi.org/10.4324/9780429288128-11 Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/399605 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Rake and Rumpole: Mavericks for Justice—Purity and Impurity in Legal Professionalism John Flood Abstract TV shows and films about law and lawyers are hugely successful. During its heyday in the late 20th century Rumpole of the Bailey drew 10 million viewers and was watched worldwide. Law programs are often the only source of knowledge about law for many people. The shows play on the themes of right and wrong, justice and injustice, usually through the medium of the adversarial court process. The two shows compared here, Rake and Rumpole, are emblematic of the legal themes emerging in popular legal culture. I have borrowed from Mary Douglas’ Purity and Danger the idea that symbolic and professional culture of the Bar is diverse. Both Cleaver Greene and Horace Rumpole in their lives and professional practices express this diversity. Rumpole represents an essentially Whiggish ideal of the Bar and English society while Greene rampages through a Benthamite Australian ideal rejecting authority. The chapter also includes reflections on professionalism and women in law.
