The type of legal practice in London is predictably highly skilled, and fractious. I’ve heard of disputes that’ve lasted for years. They’re the sort of debates that skilled people find impossible to resolve.
At the fringe is something called a “Law Cavity”, which is a group of more frivolous legal figures with less credible ways. They conspire over “Problems” by inventing “Projects” involving real people.
An example is “Westward”. It was an active and often unreasonable “Project” set on testing ordinary watchers of news broadcasts to see if they could do the same type of work by themselves.
The nature of media is cooperation, but the “Tests” meant victims were denied these opportunities. It meant confrontations, and misunderstandings, were commonplace for the participants.
As you can imagine, the results were not pretty. Those pushed into it rarely emerged unscathed. The “Cavity”, called “Court of St James”, folded for its extreme apathy over other people’s wellbeing.
