LWF4 Caselaw - detail, inaccuracies, etc in a well known textbook

Hi Chris What IS important is the principle of the case rather than the precise "facts" If you listen to my lectures I tell the story embellished with extra "details" which hopefully make the story more memorable so the principle is also remembered. Don't get bogged down in miniutia - learn the principles. When quoting a case name to illustrate a principle, there really isn't a need to have precision in the case name - it's a law exam for accountants, not a law exam for lawyers. In the cases you have mentioned it would be sufficient to quote, for example, Bentley v Smith - we really don't care whether he was Harold or Arnold nor even John! It would be sufficient to refer to "the Bentley case" or even "in a decided case" And if you really want precision, the "les Affreteurs" case should be "Les Affreteurs Reunnis Societe D'Armaments Maritime Societe Anonyme v Walford" with some acute accents which I'm not prepared to search out on my keyboard! For a natural English speaker, many names in cases are familiar to us - I KNOW there's a bird called Partridge and I once met an American called Crittenden so name recall is not particularly an issue for me. But put yourself in a position where the case could be, say, Martinkevicius v Alexandraviciute. Both of these are names of former students of mine in courses in a former soviet country. You try remembering those! Well, that's the same problem as my students trying to remember English family names. In short, learn the principles. If you can, quote the case which illustrates the point. If you can't do that, quote just one of the names of the two parties And enjoy the law! It's FUN :-) In short, learn the principles

Sorry!! That's me trying to be clever! The case with the stupidly long name is not Les Affreteurs! The case I confused with Affreteurs was the Suisse case or Suisse Atlantique Societe D'Armaments Maritime Societe Anonyme v MV Rotterdamsche Kohlencentrale Sorry for the confusion

easily done!

Absolutely right! And it's amazing how often your ordinary everyday life is related to the law which you are learning! (I don't mean by that that you have an ordinary, everyday life!)

and have 2.4 children?

with a tat like that on your left cheek, you're hardly "everyman's" image of an ordinary accountant
