Hats off to Michael Beloff QC, who was on fine form while giving an after-dinner speech at the London Solicitors Litigation Association’s (LSLA’s) annual dinner last week.

Bravely ditching the idea of telling dull stories about the Bar or resorting to a debate on the future of litigation funding, Beloff instead went for the trusty jokey-stories-about-life-in-Oxford route, while indulging in playful joshing with LSLA president Tony Guise.
