This is a difficult one. The precedence isn't critical as this judgement is not
binding on any other judgements, but it will be persuasive. Of course, if it is
taken to the Court of Arches who rule in favour of the Chancellor then it will
be binding across the country.<br>
<br>
I haven't spent much time reading the judgement, but Richard Grimmett's
questions are pertinent.<br>
