Let’s unravel the art of drafting and filing a Writ Petition in the High Court—a legal symphony that strikes the right chords. 🎵📜 1. Know Your Score: Before you pick up your quill, identify the type of writ you’re wielding. Is it a Habeas Corpus, a Mandamus, or perhaps a Certiorari? Each has its own rhythm in the legal orchestra. 2. Compose Your Prelude: Now, let’s draft! Imagine your words as musical notes. Begin with the aggrieved party—the protagonist of our legal saga. Describe their plight—the crescendo that led to the violation of their fundamental rights. Paint the canvas with facts, like a maestro adding layers of harmony. 3. The Courtly Dance: With your petition in hand, pirouette to the court’s filing section. Present your opus. The court acknowledges your entry—a formal nod to your legal choreography. And behold—the notice to the other party, a dramatic twist in our plot. 4. The Encore: The court sets a date for the grand performance—the hearing. Imagine the judges as discerning critics. Your petition takes centre stage. Will it hit the high notes? Will justice resonate? The suspense builds. 5. The Standing Ovation: If all goes well, your writ petition echoes through the hallowed halls. Applause! But if the High Court curtain falls unfavorably, fear not. You can encore—file a writ petition with the Supreme Court. The legal saga continues. #LegalArtistry #WritPetition #HighCourt #LegalCraftsmanship #JusticeMatters #LegalInsights #KnowYourRights

It was an honor collaborating with Lynda Kearns KC and Clive Elliott KC on the attached article, exploring the implications of the Alalääkkölä v Palmer [2024] NZCA 24 decision. As a painter deeply connected to my craft, I echo the sentiment of the appellant, believing that "I am my art, and my art is me." Yet, the decision challenges this intrinsic connection, raising important questions about the personal nature of artistic expression (from which copyrights are derived) within the relationship property realm. It will be interesting to see how the Supreme Court tackles this issue. #relationshippropertylaw #familylaw #copyrightlaw

The TTABlog®: At USPTO's Request, CAFC Re-designates as Precedential Its EVERYBODY VS RACISM Failure-to-Function Affirmance: The CAFC re-designated its opinion on In re GO & Associates, LLC as precedential, affirming the refusal to register the mark "EVERYBODY VS RACISM." The court upheld that the phrase does not function as a source indicator, supporting the Board's decision based on substantial evidence. GO's constitutional argument was deemed meritless, as the mark failed to meet the requirement for registration. https://lnkd.in/dPTfyTJF - IP topics: Intellectual Property topics! #ip #intellectualproperty #copyright

Every human being has the #epistemic #right to be a knower, to produce #knowledge, to use knowledge and to disseminate knowledge. These rights need further work and conceptual refinement for them to be included in the systematic human rights framework, but the larger point here is that we should not have to beg for these rights.
