E79 The Fifth Court
Hosts Peter Leonard BL and Mark Tottenham BL are joined by barrister Mema Byrne BL, to talk about the 2nd edition of her book, Landlord and Tenant, (Commercial Sector). The three discuss many issues around this area of law in which she works and lectures - but also the road that brought her to law. She worked in banking which she says didn't 'resonate with her at all'. She had a child, needed a job, but not in banking. She did a night course in law - and as she says herself, started to 'eat it up'.
Her cultural recommendations include the art exhibition at the Royal Hibernia Academy as well as a book, Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramahansa Yogananda (1946).

And, as always, the two hosts review three higher court cases drawn from the Decisis.ie casebook
- The first case concerns the mandatory retirement age for a Sheriff (currently 70 years of age)
- The second case is about a confiscation order, its proportionality, amounting to almost €400,000
- The third case revolved around whether a baseball bat, used in an alleged assault, was made of metal or timber
