I saw below that you said we could apply Richardson by saying there is a strong suspicion of criminal activity that is integral. I'm struggling to find in the judgement where it mentions a suspicion of criminal activity.

For the judgement, I know that we can dismiss some of the defendants appeals. however, if we dismiss an appeal can we still go into relative depth about the appeal? For example, I'm dismissing appeal (iii), spending a decent amount of time explaining how TWC has undermined environmental goals but then ultimately holding that appeal (iii) fails in proving TWC committed unlawful activity. ]]> 2023-04-15 14:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/maggieobrien1/uaoq73htbpbobjqd/wish/2555337401 ULIC ESSAY Free speech https://padlet.com/maggieobrien1/uaoq73htbpbobjqd/wish/2555419936 I have subheadings in my essay.

This is the same person that asked about if we have to take a theoretical approach a couple days ago. Your comment was very useful, and thus my inquiry now is- can my essay's approach be to do with the epistemic benefits and damages caused by no-platforming? In simpler terms, rather than centralising my essay around a liberal lens, would centralising my essay around the epistemic benefits and damages that no-platforming has in universities (with reference to free speech) still be capable of attaining a first? I know this is more unconventional but I feel as if I have still written my essay in a focused approach, just not one that we studied in the seminars.]]> 2023-04-17 18:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/maggieobrien1/uaoq73htbpbobjqd/wish/2557408181 Judgement https://padlet.com/maggieobrien1/uaoq73htbpbobjqd/wish/2557489601 Did the original case (before the Court of Appeal) go through the Magistrates' Court or the Crown Court?]]> 2023-04-17 19:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/maggieobrien1/uaoq73htbpbobjqd/wish/2557489601 lawful activity https://padlet.com/maggieobrien1/uaoq73htbpbobjqd/wish/2557657605 for the judgement,
I'm uncertain what is considered the lawful activity for TWC. For clarification, in Richardson, the whole focus on lawful activity was based on 'retail selling'. 

Would it be wrong to suggest that TWC's lawful activity is 'discharging sewage'? 

The protest is at the headquarters, and TWC's defence is that the headquarters were a separate function to storm surge discharge. 

Would I be wrong to suggest this?]]> 2023-04-17 23:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/maggieobrien1/uaoq73htbpbobjqd/wish/2557657605 Judgment https://padlet.com/maggieobrien1/uaoq73htbpbobjqd/wish/2558424151 Hi Maggie,

I am having some difficulties in comprehending the subject matter of the essay assignment. 

The essay guidance appears to indicate that we may construct an argument centred around one or two key issues, personally I have focussed on three key issues in my essay, using relevant theory to support my arguments.

However, I have recently read in this padlet that you suggest utilising a much narrower approach, focussing on one key issue/case study.

I would like some clarification on which approach will achieve a higher grade.

Most Supreme Court judgments outline a question to answer. Are we required to do the same in our judgment essay? Is it as simple as whether TWC’s actions constituted to “lawful activity” contrary to S68(1)? I am confused…

I’m pretty sure you have answered this question already but I am still having a bit of concern regarding this essay. Would I be able to talk about freedom of speech from a liberal perspective but also the topic of transgenderism (as my issue to narrow it down). For instance by talking about how free speech may affect the minority group of transgenders on a university campus. Essentially, how the liberal views of free speech may affect the topic of transgenderism since transgenderism is a sensitive topic itself.

Is it possible to dismiss the 1st appeal from TWC PLS as since the protesters disrupted the Head Office which was a separate entity to the sewerage system, even though it was part of their core activity?

for the essay, I am focusing on advocating for no-platforming in order to protect  oppressed and historically marginalized groups. I am using three examples of no-platforming. One pertaining to islamophobia, transphobia, and anti-Semitism. I know you advised to focus on one minority group so I just wanted to clarify if this is this still okay? 
Thank you. ]]> 2023-04-20 22:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/maggieobrien1/uaoq73htbpbobjqd/wish/2562437827 Essay https://padlet.com/maggieobrien1/uaoq73htbpbobjqd/wish/2562487254 Hi Maggie,

For the essay, I have focussed on Mill's harm principle as a frame to argue in favour of no platforming and the occasional need for content restriction on speech. I am aware this is a broad theory so I was planning on narrowing it down by stating my interpretation at the beginning of the essay with some other definitions of key terms used throughout. I was going to suggest that my interpretation of Mill's theory was the very basic idea that free speech should be promoted entirely to the point at which harm may be caused. Is this sufficient in narrowing the theory and showing how it will be applied? 

Hope this makes sense

I noticed your comment earlier about Mill and I was wondering if doing your own interpretation of the principle is okay? for instance my interpretation is that the harm principle as a basic argument suggests that free speech should be promoted but when harm may be caused that is when regulation is warranted. My points argue that no platforming should be allowed and the free speech bill is not necessary because the harm principle is the best approach and suggests that no platforming is useful in preventing harms. I have used gordon to support one of my points about the extent to which free speech is supported by the harm principle but my essay is very much based on harms and gordon doesn't go into great detail on this. 
Basically what I'm asking is am I okay sticking with what I've done (clearly define what the harm principle means in the context of my essay)or should I look at changing my arguments to be based on what Gordon says? My essay is nearly complete but I don't want to send in anything that is wrong!

many thanks!]]> 2023-04-21 13:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/maggieobrien1/uaoq73htbpbobjqd/wish/2563219416 Judgement- Cop26 https://padlet.com/maggieobrien1/uaoq73htbpbobjqd/wish/2563261602 Hi Maggie,

I would like to inquire about the inclusion of "obiter dictum" as a subheading in our judgment. Would it be a good idea , and if so, would it be appropriate to place it before or after the conclusion? Additionally, I would appreciate your guidance on the acceptable range of word count for just presenting the facts. Specifically, what would be considered excessive in this regard?


Thank you
