www.youtube.com/channel/UCdq... Livestream of Ct of Appeal case today - appeal by DWP in a case taken by FRU.
Matt Jackson and Daniel Hallstrom appear pro bono for NJ the respondent. We would say good luck to them both - but they don't need luck they're brilliant!
#WeDoProBono
#WinOfTheWeek Congratulations to aspiring solicitor Jonathan Macarthy for securing this excellent result for our client.
Very concerning that DWP finds no benefit due but the independent tribunal makes the maximum award.
This just shows the need for legal advice and advocacy.
