Janice Pritchard has been representing

Investment Group of Companies who employed top london legal firms Ingram
Winter Green and Bude Nathan Iwaner to take on the seasoned litigant
and justice campaigher Janice Pritchard.
However it was not until they
brough in barrister Marie-Cl;aire Bleasdale, that Ingram Winter Green
and Bude Nathan Iwaner started kicking goals and winning every hearing
against elderly invalid Janice Pritchard including a trial beforer
Acting Deputy Judge Alison Foster QC where barrister Marie-Claire
Bleasdlae was able to obtain all the orders she sought for her client
Fineland Investments and her instructing solicitor Bazza Kandler and his
powerful legel firm Bude Nathan Iwaner at a hearing where Vivian
Pritchard was too sich too attend.
Janice Pritchard says she is determined to fight on, having lost a hotly
contested application on the 8th and 9th November, 2011 before Norris J
to have her application to set aside the orders of Acting Deputy Judge
Alison Foster QC made on the 31st January, 2011 in HC06C002639, and has
now taken her case to the court of appeal.

Suoreme Court and if that fails... I will take my case ot the
International Court of Justice..." says Janice Pritchard.
This looks like being one of barrister Maire-Claire Bleasdale's most

Marie Claire Bleasdale and Radcliffe Chambers in the international spot
light, with a case that is destined to be one of the most famours legal
cases testing the law on possesion and ownership of property to the
highest levels.
Barrister Marie-Clair Bleasdale has alos recently takwen on a new high
profile case being a dispute iove ra family farm in Gloucester where it
is alleged that very powerful legal firms have bene involved with using
an unwitnessed will in 1990 to obtain a worngful grant of probate asw
part of a criminal conspircy to defraud an aged pensioner of her lawful
rights to the famioly farm, which has the potential to be turned into an
over 20 million pound luxury property development. The case is really
hotting up with allegations that Owen Rhys, acting as Adjudicator for HM
Land Registry has acted in a wrongful and corruot way to help these set
of powerful solcitors and investors obtain an order that their
investment partner sshoul obtain the title deed of the property. The
aged pensioner who is about to lose her family fram threatened Owen
Rhys, acting as Adjudicator for HM Land Registry with reporting him and
what she alleges is a corrupt group of legal people and investors acting
in a criminal conspircy to steal her4 family farj that was left to her
by her late father.
This will be another interesting one for barrister Marie Bleasdale who
is know as the best property dipute barrister in London....

Members of Radcliffe Chambers provide advice and representation on a wide range of company and commercial matters.
In the company law context these include: creation, management,
amalgation and dissolution; directors� duties and disqualification;
mergers and acquisitions; shareholder and board room disputes; tracing
and recovery of corporate assets and all aspects of insolvency.
Our commercial expertise includes: the law of agency; enforcement of
restrictive covenants; freezing injunctions and search orders;
intellectual property; partnerships; sale and supply of goods and
services; securities and guarantees; use of confidential information and
contractual disputes generally.
Suing professionals has been one of the fastest-developing areas of the law in recent years.
We have been at the forefront of this development, especially in
claims against solicitors, barristers, accountants and surveyors. We
also have experience in claims involving other professionals, such as
insurance brokers and other financial advisers.
Members act, as the cab rank rule requires, for claimaints or
defendants. However, some members are unable to act against certain
insurers.
Members bring a sharper and more expert analysis to such claims
because they practise in the underlying areas. Experience shows that
this results in a faster and more successful outcome - whether by way of
settlement, mediation or litigation. Insurers have found that early
use of members to advise has paid dividends.

JOHNSON v LUXCOOL LTD
Queen’s Bench Division
HHJ Richard Seymour QC
July 15, 2008
Aggravated damages - Bare licences - Damage to goods - Damage to property -
Occupation - Trespassers - Occupation of premises amounting to bare licence
- Validity of claims for damages - Property damage following eviction from
premises - Unreliable evidence
The claimant club owner (J) claimed damages, including aggravated or exemplary
damages, as a result of damage done to the structures of premises and damage
to goods belonging to her following her eviction from the premises by the
third defendant property owner (H). J had occupied parts of properties
including the rear of two properties previously owned by the first defendant
and subsequently transferred to H. J ran a social club from the premises and
alleged that her occupation was pursuant to a weekly tenancy. The
environmental health department and police evicted J on the basis that H had
taken possession of the premises. H later removed the roof. J maintained
that goods under the roof that belonged to her had been damaged beyond
repair or destroyed. She also stated that she had spent large sums fitting
out the structures of the premises before her eviction and so was entitled
to compensation for the loss of value of the works or the cost of repairing
the structures.
ISSUES
Whether goods under the roof that belonged to her had been damaged beyond
repair or destroyed.
HELD (claim struck out)
(1) On the evidence, J had not had any sort of tenancy of any part of the
premises, but was simply a trespasser or a bare licensee. Consequently, J’s
claims were rejected insofar as they depended on her having a tenancy.
(2) J’s evidence on any disputed matter could not be relied on. There was no
clear evidence that damage had been caused to goods allegedly belonging to J
as a result of the removal of the roof.
Michael Collard (instructed by AKAL, Ilford) for the claimant. Evan Price
(instructed by Johns & Saggar) for the first and third defendants.

Why flatworms may hold the secret to immortality
Young forever: Flatworms may hold the key to immortality due to their telomeres. Photo: Nottingham University
By Gaby Leslie
British
scientists believe they may have identified how humans could potentially live forever - and it’s all about flatworms
Experts
at Nottingham University have been examining how two species of
flatworms are able to regenerate themselves again and again – raising
hopes that scientists could find ways of alleviating the effects of
ageing in human cells.
Flatworms, known as planarian worms, have long fascinated scientists with their apparently limitless ability to regenerate.
Young forever: Flatworms may hold the key to immortality due to their telomeres. Photo: Nottingham University
During the study 20,000 new and fully-formed flatworms were created
from just one original worm by splitting it into tiny pieces.
The
research team studied how the flatworms manage to replace aged or
damaged tissues and cells in a bid to understand what drives their
longevity.
Dr Aziz Aboobaker, who led the study, said: “We’ve
been studying two types of planarian worms; those that reproduce
sexually, like us, and those that reproduce asexually, simply dividing
in two.
“Both appear to regenerate indefinitely by growing new muscles, skin, guts and even entire brains over and over again.
Key
to a flatworm’s immortality lays in its telomeres – tiny sections of
DNA that cap the ends of chromosomes, protecting them from damage and
the loss of cell functions linked to ageing.
Each time a cell
divides the protective telomere ‘cap’ gets shorter. When they get too
short, the cell loses its ability to renew and divide. According to the
study an immortal animal would expect cells to be able to maintain
telomere length indefinitely so that they could continue to replicate.
Dr
Aboobaker predicted that planarian worms actively maintain the ends of
their chromosomes in adult stem cells, leading to theoretical
immortality.
Speaking about the findings, Dr Aboobaker said: “Our
data satisfy one of the predictions about what it would take for an
animal to be potentially immortal.
“The next goals for us are to
understand the mechanisms in more detail and to understand more about
how you evolve an immortal animal.”
The world’s longest living creatures
By Gaby Leslie
Some of the following creatures are known to have dated back further
than the Middle Ages making great grandparents seem like youngsters.
From the youngest to the immortal, check out our round-up of nine
animal species that hold records for their freakishly long life spans.
Jeanne Louise Calment: 122-years-old
The first spot on the list belongs to the world’s longest
living person
ever. Born on 21 February 1875 and passing away on August 4, 1997, this
French woman holds the longest confirmed lifespan in history, living to
the grand old age of 122 years 164 days. Outliving both her daughter and
only grandson,
Madame Calment's genes may have contributed to her longevity since her father lived to 94
and
her mother 86. According to several news reports, she is the last
person lucky enough have met the artist Vincent Van Gogh, who allegedly
visited her father’s fabric shop in 1888.
George the lobster: 140-years-old
A
New York restaurant was lucky enough to offer the most mature
crustacean ever caught on their menu. At a massive 20lbs and born in
1869 - the same year as leading men, such as
British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and
French painter Henri Matisse,
giant lobster George was picked up from the icy waters of the Atlantic.
Manager of City Crab and Seafood restaurant, who bought George for $100
(£68) said that a lobster’s age can be estimated by weight, with weight
increasing by around a pound for every seven to ten years of life.
Fortunately for George, after animal rights organisation PETA received a
tip-off from punters about the tiny tank it had to live in, PETA
managed to persuade the Park Avenue eatery to release George back into
the wild.
Geoduck: 160-years-old
Recognised
as a large edible saltwater clam with a six-inch-long shell and a neck
that extends up to about four feet, geoducks (pronounced ‘gooey’ ducks)
are a native species of the Pacific Northwest of the US and coastal
areas of
British Columbia, Canada.
The geoduck market is predominantly based in Asia with an expanding one
in the US as the American sushi industry has sparked a rise in domestic
demand for the odd-looking seafood delicacy. Burrowed in deep muddy
waters, the oldest living geoduck was recorded to be 160-years-old, but
on average they live between 140 and 160 when not hunted by predators or
eaten by humans. According to scientists, a geoduck's longevity is the
result of low wear and tear as they don’t have to do much in order to
survive.
Bowhead whale: 211-years-old
Dubbed,
the ‘old men of the sea’ by a US reporter, bowhead whales are the
oldest mammals on Earth living on average between 100-200 years. One
individual whale is documented to have lived to the ripe old age of 211.
By tracking changes in amino acids in the lenses of their eyes,
scientists are able to determine the approximate ages of bowheads.
Biologist Craig George
found the key to their long existence. He said: “The bowhead's tough
environment - cold water without abundant food available forces it to
maintain a great body mass, an effective system for fat storage and an
efficient mechanism to keep warm. The stress of living in arctic waters
may nurture the whale's pattern of slow growth and long life.” In the
past, bowheads have been hunted to near extinction.
Koi fish: 226-years-old
Koi
are a domesticated kind of the common carp kept for decoration in
artificial rock pools and ponds, there are types which are known to age
to more than 200 years. One of the longest living vertebrate ever
recorded, ‘Hanako’ translated into English as ‘Flower Maid’ is proof
that women do live longer than men. The 15lb female fish from Japan died
at the age of 226 in 1977. Born in 1751, 25 years before American
independence, her old age could be accounted for by removing one of her
scales and examining it extensively, similar to counting rings of a
tree.
Tortoises: 255-years-old
Antarctic sponge: 1550-years-old
One specimen
of this slow-growing Antarctic Ocean dweller is estimated to be over
1550-years-old. To put it in perspective, the specimen could have been
living in 461AD – the same year that on March 17th St Patrick died.
Though it may look more like a plant as it is immobile, scientists do
class this sponge as a living creature with its lack of exertion and extremely slow growth contributing to its scarily long life span.
Turriptosis Nutricula: Immortal
This remarkable jellyfish-like creature tops our list as the world’s oldest living creature
in terms of having no natural limit to its life span. The unique
species is considered to be the world’s only biologically immortal
animal, according to marine biologists at the Smithsonian Tropical
Marine Institute in Florida.
A native to the warm salt waters of
the Caribbean seas, the animal has been spotted far from its home in
Spain, Italy, Japan, and the Atlantic side of Panama in recent times as
it is thought they are silently invading the oceans by attaching
themselves to ballast water tanks of ships. So what is its secret to
anti-aging? The tiny transparent sea creature,
which is about the size of a fingernail, can regenerate its entire body
over and over again through a process called ‘transdifferentiation’ as
it is able to turn one type of cell into another.A zookeeper tends to Addwaita, a giant Aldabra tortoise, at the Alipore Zoological Garden in Calcutta, India.
A tortoise’s long life span has
been linked to the reptile’s slow metabolic rate. Experts reckon as a
general rule, animals with a high metabolic rate die early, and those
that burn energy more slowly can live on for decades. Reports in the
media are frequently claiming that the world’s oldest tortoise has died –
take Harriet and Tu’I Malila for example, who died at 175 and
188-years-old respectively.
But, Adwaita, a tortoise that lived
in Bengal is estimated to have been around 255 when it died, making it
just a toddler around the time of the American Revolution. Its age was
verified by a technique called carbon dating, confirming Adwaita as one
of the oldest creatures of modern times. His long life ended when his
shell cracked and a wound developed some months before his death from
liver failure in March five-years-ago.
[
Quahog: 410-years-old
Another
seafood delicacy sets a record in the animal kingdom. In 2007, a
specimen of clam was plucked off the coast of Iceland. By drilling
through its cockle shell and counting each ring, the Arctica Islandica
was claimed to be the longest-living
animal species
ever recorded by researchers at Bangor University. Nicknamed ‘Ming’
after the Chinese dynasty that ruled when the clam was born and its
Siamese-like appearance, the clam was estimated to be aged between 405
and 410-years-old. Unfortunately, poor Ming died as it was being
assessed by researchers.
Antarctic sponge: 1550-years-old
One specimen of
this slow-growing Antarctic Ocean dweller is estimated to be over
1550-years-old. To put it in perspective, the specimen could have been
living in 461AD – the same year that on March 17th St Patrick died.
Though it may look more like a plant as it is immobile, scientists do
class this sponge as a living
creature with its lack of exertion and extremely slow growth contributing to its scarily long life span.
