Hi everyone,
Kind of a quick post tonight. Sorry.
Today went better than I could have imagined! The matter that I was convinced would have to run (because we had a strong case) settled. That is, the plaintiff came in swinging and demanding massive arrears of payments. We (I) stood our (my) ground and said nothing doing. A long conversation with his barrister later he agreed to settle the matter for a limited period of medical expenses, which is in all practical terms a win, and a massive backdown for his lawyers. Pretty pleased about that! And, I was able to handle that and another matter simultaneously, as well as tackling three interlocutory matters.
Pride cometh before a fall but, yay me!
The rest of the day was quiet and preparing for a couple of fairly intense meetings tomorrow. I formally resigned from the firm today. Kind of sad to do it, even if it was a choice between that and be sacked. But, the partners in the section are being great and saying it's a good move for me and backing up the "have to make hay while the sun shines" explanation I've been using. It's a really nice firm though, with lovely people, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sorry to be going.
OK, I'd better turn in.
See you tomorrow
