Link to and excellent judgment from Master Bell in the High Court in Northern Ireland in a “small money” case dealing impressively with a whole range of issues but particularly coercive control. I suspect this will be much quoted. judiciaryni.uk/judicial-deci…

I know it's a long shot, but today I lost this broach somewhere between Inner Temple & the RCJ. If anyone might have seen it please can you let me know? It doesn't have monetary value but was my great grandmother's & means so much to me. I know it's likely gone but worth a try 😔

I don't know if you're familiar with novelty dice game Pass the Pigs. I used to play it with my family a lot - we liked dice games. I've been reading a paper called 'Pig Data & Bayesian Inference on Multinomial Probabilities' & I was shocked by some of its findings.
