    this isn't much crazier then the judge in the Netherlands a few yrs ago who said that a bank robber's gun was a legitimate business expense and deducted the cost of the gun from the fine imposed on the robber. That story was carried by The Telegraph at the time.
    Would the PCG consider putting this judge on a retainer?
    Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

      Have you made a will?

      Under UK law, if a single person pops their clogs when intestate, their estate goes up to the parents. In the worst case, that's 2 sets of inheritance tax to get to their siblings. In the case of a parent remarrying, it could end up outside the family altogether.
