Widely recognised as one of the most brilliant and commercially
minded judges of his generation, Peter Millett was involved in many
leading cases of the day, including those arising out of the
insolvency of the International Tin Council, the collapse of the
Maxwell empire, and the Pinochet case, as well as cases of child
custody and adoption, forgery, provocation, wrongful pregnancy, and
even the Chinese system of concubinage. As in Memory Long is a
frank and revealing account of the author's life and career,
punctuated throughout with his personal insights into the law and
its workings through the years. As well as learning the difference
between tax avoidance and tax evasion, the reader will also
discover how to produce the perfect forgery or provide a company
with substantial capital when you have no money, how best to
present a fallacious argument, and how to use an umbrella in court.
Among the book's many anecdotes are a description of an occasion
when the House of Lords managed to give judgment in the wrong case,
and many examples of judicial wit at the expense of counsel and
vice versa, as well as some often unintentionally hilarious
cross-examinations and unexpected answers by witnesses. The memoirs
of Peter Millett are not the usual dull series of legal cases won
or lost but an entertaining account of personal and professional
mishaps over a lengthy and distinguished legal career which will
appeal to anyone with an interest in the law and its personalities.
