The Fifth Court - DSBA Legal Podcast of the Year

E40 The Fifth Court - Part One of two parts recorded at the Electric Picnic festival. Ooh, aah, Up the Fifth Court!

Presenters Peter Leonard BL and Mark Tottenham BL interview Rory Carroll author and staff correspondent at The Guardian newspaper.

He has just published his latest book 'Killing Thatcher: The IRA, the Manhunt and the Long War on the Crown'.

It tells the story of how the Irish Republican Army planted a bomb that exploded at 2:54 a.m. on October 1984, the last day of that year's British Conservative Party Conference at the Grand Hotel, Brighton, England. An audacious attempt to wipe out the entire British government, it came astonishingly close to killing the Iron Lady.

There's also discussion of two cases from the Decisis.ie casebook;

One case concerns the custody of a Ukrainian child and the Hague Convention

The second case is a constitutional case concerning an action of the sexual crime of defilement.
