There seems to be no end to the debt of gratitude the Irish (and now, the English) legal profession owe to the managing director of Ryanair.

He has clarified the words of a suitable jurisdiction clause on websites to confer jurisdiction within the EU. See HERE for how he did it. (This writer has adapted those words below to accommodate his purposes and intentions. Feel free to appropriate the clause without attribution, but on terms of repudiation of liability by this writer for such use).

He, (we are now back talking about the managing director; (see what happens when you eschew words like “aforesaid”)) has promoted (indirectly) the use of interrogatories in Irish practice and procedure.

He has generated legal work for members of the profession (with more to come in England).

These are not insignificant benefits. Why is the Chairman of the Bar Council silent in the presence of such merit?

The words:

Disputes arising from the use of this website and the interpretation of these Terms of Use of the McGarr Solicitors website are governed by Irish Law. All disputes relating to these Term of Use and the use of the McGarr Solicitors Website are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland.”

Ryanair is not popular. For this writer, it’s enough to remember traveling to Venice and being dropped in Treviso. It was the “arrangement�? for the return flight that left everything to be desired.

Nevertheless, the Bar Council of Ireland should strike a memorial medal to the airline for its services to the legal profession.

Look at its latest litigation outing HERE.

It issued proceedings in the form of a Special Summons and got slapped down because it hadn’t proceeded by way of Judicial Review.

Is it possible that Michael O’Leary has a jaundiced view of Order 84 of the Rules of the Superior Courts as referred to HERE and HERE?

When and where and why did that happen?
