Cottage industry

Posted 25/04/2008 by The Daily Diary

The Diary hears a strange tale from the OFT’s high-profile test-case against the UK’s biggest banks about fees for unauthorised overdrafts – a tale that, if true, threatens to undermine your correspondent’s faith in the venerable Bar just a tad.

A mole reports that a silk acting for one of the banks got so bored he actually left court and went to rest his weary bones at his cottage in Scotland, leaving his junior to man the fort. When asked by the client where his silk was, the junior replied that he had “gone to the loo”.
