Anyone here blog and speak English?

Ian Best, author of the 3L Epiphany blog has the following question:

Are you aware of any court cases in the United Kingdom that have cited legal blogs? If so, could you please let me know, preferably with the case citations and the name of the blogs? I would like to inform my readers about them.
If you know of any such cases, please drop the IPKat an email here and he’ll forward it.

  1. The criticisms of the terms of reference for the Gowers Review in SCRIPT-ed should have been directed at Gordon Brown not Andrew Gowers. Brown set up the review as a Treasury exercise to study the financial implications of IP laws.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
