One lesson I learnt recently is, if your opponent has a QC, always get a QC. I instructed a perfectly competent junior in the High Court in a case that really did not merit a QC - borderline at the very best. The oppo had a silk.

The difference in treatment of the two was palpable and obvious, which should never happen.

Maybe, having over 20 years' experience, I should have learnt this long ago. My naivety that things would be dealt with on merit probably lasted longer than it ought.
