Could you tell work about it? Maybe not over the phone, but as a long-term thing it might help if they knew? I can understand why you might not want to though.
Grrrrrr I hate it when cases start with sentences like this:
"In assumpsit, the declaration stated that the plaintiff had brought an action against the defendant in the Exchequer, to recover certain moneys, that the defendant had pleaded various pleas, on which issues in fact had been joined, which were about to be tried, and that, in consideration that the plaintiff would forbear proceeding in that action until a certain day, the plaintiff promised on that day to pay the amount, but that he made default, &c."
What does that even mean? I have to plough through dozens of waffly sentences like that, each one with a tiny extra detail but then mostly repeating the previous stuff in a new way, before I get anything of use out of the case.
