A wall with several things which appear to be windows, which have a habit of letting light through. I don’t think that no one is stood by the windows or in the rooms at the time means it isn’t nuisance, given the essence of the tort.

Don’t know if JSO etc ever made an express statement on this, but it clearly isn’t good faith civil disobedience of the kind King advocated (below) . It’s very much conducted in bad faith to make a mockery of the justice system.

Stopped growing is a slight exageration, but the sort of trend one sees in the 1980s and 1990s is declining well before 2007. Mean income keeps growing strongly until 2007, which I'd suggest was the result of earnings growth at the very high end of the economy (e.g. FS).

Do people really benefit from the court requiring them to ensure their children engage effectively with a social worker who they have taken a dislike to? It sounds like a recipe for more strife and hatred to me.

You're looking at two different provisions. You're comparing the "equal value" test added after Commission v UK in 1980 with the original "rated as equivelent" test which is still in much the same terms in s.65(4).

With more lines in, one can see that net migration is very low in the early 1990s, but spikes up towards 200k in 1999 and stays there afterwards. That coincides exactly with the chart.

The first judicial mention of the rule I can find from a quick WL search is Rondell v Worslely where Salmon LJ refers in argument to a barrister "having a "cab rank" form of practice". It reappears in Saif Ali v Sydney Mitchell, where the HL suggests Rondell was 'cab ranked' and counsel says this:

The Housing Act 1980 only came into effect at the end of 1980. So why by that point had new council houses fallen to their lowest post war level? Why does the fall start in 1977, prior to the Conservatives winning in 1979?
