Law Society Gazette article;

“The legal profession is failing to get the message about preparing better skeleton arguments, Lord Justice Jackson has said.
The architect of last year’s civil litigation reform used a Court of Appeal judgment to ‘speak more bluntly’ about the ‘poor quality and excessive length’ of some skeleton arguments in the upper courts.

Jackson said that an appellant in a dispute over whether to commit a defendant for contempt of court had produced ’35 pages of rambling prolixity’ which made it difficult to track down the relevant facts, issues and arguments.“

The appellant was represented by Adam Tear, instructed by Duncan Lewis.
