Magic fails to fix broken marriage

Russian man's court win after magic fails to return wife
By News from Elsewhere......as found by BBC Monitoring
- A man in Siberia has won hundreds of thousands of roubles in compensation after magicians failed to make his estranged wife return.
The man from the city of Omsk, only named as M.E.A. in court documents, was devastated when his wife left him in August 2017.
But one TV advert made him hopeful: It promised to "return your wife or loved woman", and also remove various types of curse. But things didn't turn out as he had hoped.
Some Cornish can be a tad touchy.
A barrister at a drugs conspiracy trial has apologised after a juror complained about "degrading and discriminatory" language towards Cornish people.
Defence barrister Ramsay Quaife used the phrase "the Cornish way" three times at Truro Crown Court.
After a juror raised the matter with the judge, Mr Quaife apologised, saying "no offence was intended".
Nine people are on trial in connection with an alleged conspiracy to supply drugs from London to Cornwall.
The man accused of being the ringleader, Jerome Douglas, denies running the drugs operation from his prison cell.
The court heard Mr Douglas knew nothing about it and only spoke to his co-defendants on the phone about matters not related to drugs.

Some judges can be rather demanding.
“After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relatives.” So reads the Oscar Wilde quote that opens a document instructing legal staff on the dietary preferences of Supreme Court Justice Peter Charleton.
The list, thought to be compiled by a member of the judge’s staff called a judicial assistant, offers a brief glimpse into the punctilious life of the staff who work for the State’s great legal minds.
In a two-page excerpt of the section entitled “getting food”, the judicial assistant recommends there are certain staples “that you’ll want to familiarise yourself with, as you’ll be buying these very often”.
“Judge Charleton is very specific that he only wants English Eating Apples. This means only certain varieties will do. The most commonly available ones in Marks and Spencer are Cox’s and Braeburn, so if you can get one of these two do so. You really want to get the thin Orkney oatcakes, specifically, nothing else will do. They only sell these in Fallon and Byrne on Wicklow Street, so make a trip up there about once a month and buy about 7 or 8 packs of them.” ...
“The mackerel that you’ll buy in Marks and Spencer cannot be served as is, but must have its skin removed. Use a flat bladed knife to peel the skin and once you have enough of it prised off from the main part of the fish, you can pull the rest off with your fingers.” ...

This is written quite humorously and I did laugh very hard at it! but it's actually a serious human rights issue.
Here's a news report about it on YouTube -

If you google image search 'penis gourd' you get photos of the protesters and it's funny all over again!

Litigious lady free to sue again.
A woman who was banned by a judge from taking any new cases against the State or judges unless she got permission from the court has won an appeal to the Court of Appeal.
Donna Sfar today won her appeal against an order of a High Court judge almost three years ago restraining her from instituting any proceedings against State parties and judges without the prior permission of the president of the High Court. Up until then Ms Sfar, who lived in Co Louth, had issued 24 separate cases in the High Court since 1999. ...
In another appeal brought by Ms Sfar relating to the seizure of sheep and pigs for animal welfare reasons, the Court of Appeal upheld the decision of Mr Justice Michael Twomey in the High Court rejecting her claims and refusing her an injunction against Department of Agriculture officials from entering her property.
In another appeal, the Court of Appeal said Mr Justice Twomey was right when he came to the conclusion that a fair balance had been struck between Ms Sfar’s rights and the public or general interest in the protection of the welfare of the animals.
