In a change to the regular podcast format our two co-presenters, Mark Tottenham BL and Peter Leonard BL, discuss a case that has fascinated Mark for years.

It's Griffith V Griffith, a case from 1944, that demonstrates the massive shifts in Irish life since that time. It's a case that involves a weekend away in Howth, sex outside marriage, a pregnancy with a tragic outcome, a priest, a 'shotgun' marriage, and finally a most curious twist. It's the stuff of soap operas, but it was all too real at the time.

Fascinating.

The two also discusses more recent high profile cases drawn from the Decisis.ie website.

The first case involves succession law, when an executor loses the ability to act.

The second case is about the need, or not, to consult the father of a child in an adoption case.

Finally, a case of illegal dumping, a case that has gone on for over four decades.
