Here's the barrister representing Conor McRidiclous and his IPC cohorts in the NME case against Morrissey.

Catrin Evans - One Brick Court

She has a track record, as they say.

Excerpt:

REPRESENTATIVE CASES OF INTEREST

Defamation
Morrissey v McNicholas & IPC Media Ltd (2008) – acting for the NME magazine in action by singer Morrissey over an article concerning his attitude to immigration.

I'm sure she's a bad mother who wears fur.

    She's defended The Daily Mail, I dislike her already.

    Seeing as this case concerns the media, anyone interested in reading about the appalling injustices (and appalling reporting) that goes on in Fleet Street should buy a copy of 'Flat Earth News' by Nick Davies. He exposes both left and right wing media as biased and corrupt, but The Daily Mail comes out of it looking even more horrendous than anyone could imagine. Be warned though, you might just cry at the sheer horror of it all.

    As for Morrissey, he's got a chance of winning some form of apology on the front cover, quote splicing, debacle alone.

      Check out her emo-friendly hair! Bet that's why McKnickerless picked her.

        It is also tantamount to stalking to put this link up.

        Barristers are professionally obliged to represent any client who asks for representation, if that case is within your ability. You could be disbarred for refusing a client.

        The requirement - the Cab Rank Rule - is the way that representation for all is secured. It means that everybody has access to assistance in preparing their defence. It secures a fundamental human right, set out in Article 6 of the European Convention of Human Rights.

          She's a lawyer doing her job, and she's defence. Prosecutors are always the loathsome ones. Putting this link up with her work contact details is virtually tantamount to commissioning a crime.

          Good luck, David T, with your extradition to the UK!

          There's the makings of a nice little lynch mob here... A gross misuse of the word 'news', petulant name-calling (Conor McRidiclous) masquerading as serious interest.

          HANG your head in shame. A disgrace.
