I think somebody won the 'what can I slip past the editor' bet...

Back to civil work and I'm doing some research in relation to music contracts. One of the relevant cases is John Wadlow v Henry Samuel (performing as Seal), a 2006 case about alleged unfairness in Seal's original recording contract. As I often do I looked up legal articles discussing the case, and found one in Entertainment Law Review by one Matt McKenzie. Reading through it, I got to the final few sentences (my emphasis added):

...any rights of action that Seal had from the original agreement were never going to survive. Previously the position had been a little hazy but the fact that Seal had independent advice in relation to the settlement agreement proved a killer point.

[Slow clap] Oh well done, Mr McKenzie. Well done.

Bit of a giggle, that "Entertainment Law Review"

Is Seal a member of one of those popular beat combos?

Oh, judges have come on a bit since then. They even own iPods these days!.

Bravo! It always helps when people have a sense of humour.

This reminds me of the Supreme Court Judge sequence in the West Wing where they identify that the justice is producing judgements in various obscure poetic rhythms.

They did rickrolling with cut up lyrics allocated between mps in some legislature lately, was it Oregon?
