Judge and PHV and 1976 and 75
Hi Chris, don't want to pick holes in your methodology here, but maybe just highlight some of the pitfalls in using the search function
And it's not an exact science. Or something like that.
First, and as per what I said yesterday, the results for your search say they've ignored "and 75" - I suspect that number strings will only be searched for if there's at least three or four digits, which is why it
will search for 1976.
Second, surprisingly enough, the word "judge" may not be used in some judgements at all, because in formal judgements they often use formal titles and/or abbreviations.
For example, in the Dittah and Choudry judgement posted on here, the references are to:
"Kennedy LJ, Clarke J"
Which means Lord Justice Kennedy and Justice Clarke. So they're judges, but the word isn't actually used in the judgement.
By the same token, PHV doesn't appear in the judgement, and instead it's always the full 'private hire vehicle'
Dittah and Choudry judgement:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4660Another possibility I was thinking of was that the case Wardy was looking for may in fact not have been directly posted on here, and instead it was a link to an external webpage or document, which wouldn't be picked up with this forum's search function
Quite a lot of the threads in the Court Case Database section of the forum don't actually include the judgement, and are external links. For example:
