The Bundle: Prenups, health and safety and MoJ cuts

This week has been busy, as we put all our efforts into explaning what the highly anticipated judgment from the UK supreme court on prenups actually means, what the spending review means for prisons, legal aid and the courts as well as unpicking the Young report on health and safety. We also continue celebrating Black History Month with an article by Charles Taylor's lawyer Courtenay Griffiths QC explaining why Norman Manley QC is his legal hero.

That would really grab the attention of the CEOs. • On the editorial on legal aid cuts , Spaull says the problem is that legal aid fees are "one size fits all", there is no variation depending on the seniority of the solicitor. The only way for a lawyer to earn more is to "graduate out" of legal aid. Or better still, never go into it in the first place. A trainee solicitor who has undertaken the same academic training but goes into a commercial firm will be on £40-£50K as a trainee, and at least £70K as a newly qualified solicitor. • On Ajmal Azam's article on the Radmacher prenups decision , lindajbreth says I have been giving and continue to give advice to clients with considerable assets that they are better off with a prenup than without and if you have been presented with a request for a prenup, make absolutely sure that you would be happy with the settlement. People should treat part of their marriage as a contract and treat the pre-nup as the breaking provision of breaking the contract.
