    My apologies if this has come up before...an tippy-toeing into this forum as have no basis to discuss law on anything!! Am starting study for FE1's (a while away) and most of the examiner reports I have read cite an obvious lack of reading the actual cases as opposed to notes on them. In an attempt to address this deficiency amongst others, I looked up case law availability online and there seem to be several sources. Could anyone recommend a particular one/s or say what most practising legal professionals would use to keep up to date? Would be very grateful....

    There is no issue with students or lay people discussing the law - infact it's usually very informative for both parties. The general backlash of falming starts when lay people/students and insome cases practisioners make an unsubstantiated statement of law and then proceed to tell people they're wrong when they try and correct the person citing sources. Welcome to the forum!

    Thanks Mark Anthony. Duly noted. I do have a diploma in law from back before deciding kids were the best thing ever and I have no issue reading or understanding any particular given law or how it applies in a linear and straightforward manner. What I find so fascinating about this forum (and am conceivably learning more about than from the texts) is the application of the law in huge varieties of situations that are often far from straightforward. Reading the discussions between everyone as to how or why one thing or another may or may not apply and pieces of information about the particular situation that materially change those considerations is an education in itself. I don't as yet have enough understanding of how anything I've learned as yet applies to comment but I can say that I am always amazed at the depth and breadth of practical knowledge and insight illustrated by those who have and very grateful for the opportunity to 'listen in' as it were. It's very generous of you all to share as much as you all do!
