Random Odd Thing of the Day: Hickman v Kent or Romney Marsh Sheep-Breeders' Association

No obscure footballers or train stations today. The first random article was an obscure legal precedent. All I want to know, was tupping involved? Sadly, not.


Hickman v Kent or Romney Marsh Sheep-Breeders’ Association [1915] 1 Ch 881 is a UK company law case, concerning the proper interpretation of a company's articles, and whether a company member could be bound by its terms.

Facts

Article 49 said disputes between the association and a member should go to arbitration, before court. Mr Hickman complained about refusal to register his sheep in the published flock book and was under threat of being expelled. He started proceedings in the High Court and the association sought an injunction.

Judgment

Astbury J held that the articles prevented Mr Hickman: there was a contract. He was bound. The predecessor to the Companies Act 2006 section 33 creates a contract, which affects members in their capacity as members, though not in a special or personal capacity (eg as director). As a member, Mr Hickman was bound to comply with the company procedure for arbitrating disputes and could not resort to court.

White Collar Post Ep Dish - 3.08 - As You Were

Okay - I have been looking forward to this episode for two - no three very shallow reasons.

1 - Sharif finally gets into the credits
2 - We get some Clinton Jones backstory
3 - Neal Caffrey in dress whites

I am going to stick with the format I tried last week. If it’s an episode with a lot of subtext (and aren’t most of them that way?), I’d do a more in depth meta tomorrow.

And I’ve got to say - if there is an awful lot of pretty, my comments here may be on the thin side. My brain will probably have exploded.

Remember folks - criticism is wonderful and welcomed, general “I hate” is not. Capice?

( Spoilers under the cut, matey. Proceed at your own risk. )

This is a solid A or even an A+ episode. Not as flashy as Dentist of Detroit or Veiled Threat, but maybe the best written ep of the season.

So?

Thinky and not so thinky thoughts. And please squee to your hearts’ content about Matt Bomer in dress whites and burgler blacks. And all that Clinton Jones backstory.
