  • A snowflake writes....

    You do yourself a real discredit by opening with the lazy and offensive phrase ‘stale, pale and male’. Even as someone who thinks your podcast addresses an extremely important and much neglected topic, I was immediately less inclined to hear what you have to say. One hopes your advocacy isn’t littered with such clumsy use of language.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

245: Environmental enforcement here and in the EU
Q: What was it like on enforcement in the early days?
Macrory describes weak early Commission enforcement, which gained momentum after public scrutiny of failures to enforce waste rules. A staged process developed, with most cases settled before reaching court, and enforcement came to include failures to implement laws in practice.
245: Environmental enforcement here and in the EU
Q: How did you all get together?
Macrory says the Avosetta Group began with a small group of academics seeking to compare how EU environmental directives were interpreted and enforced across national courts, and grew into a network spanning nearly every member state.
246: Practice update: Inquests and Inquiries
Q: Could you give us an update on the status and discoverability of expert reports in coronial proceedings?
Gold explains that whether an expert report can be withheld depends on matters including litigation privilege, relevance and whether its production is essential to the coroner's investigation.
246: Practice update: Inquests and Inquiries
Q: Where are we up to in terms of the major public inquiries that have been in the news?
Rahman summarizes recent inquiry reports, hearings and consultations, including the COVID, Nottingham, Southport, undercover policing, Finucane and Grooming Gangs inquiries.
244: AI in healthcare: Who will be liable when things go wrong?
Q: How do you regulate a product that keeps changing (AI-enabled devices) and what practical steps does the report propose?
The report suggests several practical steps: create a space for AI products to change within prescribed boundaries without constant pre-approval, implement staged authorization to test safety in controlled settings before wider use, and establish a regulatory sandbox to gather evidence in real-world clinical environments while maintaining safety.
