The Fifth Court — Episode 133

Presented by barristers Mark Tottenham and Peter Leonard.


This episode opens with Josepha Madigan — solicitor, former cabinet minister and family-law mediator — on why mediation is gaining ground, what makes it work, and how practice culture is changing for clients and lawyers alike.


Then Mark and Peter review three recent Decisis cases (case-note segment sponsored by Charltons Solicitors & Collaborative Practitioners):

  • A Court of Appeal judgment on alleged ineffective legal representation.
  • A High Court ruling that quashed a same-day trial conviction on fair-trial grounds.
  • A further decision testing procedural fairness and preparation time in summary proceedings.

Clear takeaways — and the practical implications for practitioners and clients.
