Well, this has been a busy old week.
Wednesday I had my quarterly Council meeting for the Property Redress Scheme, Thursday we had our annual Legal Update Workshop and Friday I did a webinar with Tim Frome of Hamilton Fraser!
The webinar will be going on the blog next week sometime so you will be able to see it if you missed it. We filmed the Update workshop so that should be available in a few weeks as an online course (sign up here if you would like to be told when this happens).
But what happened on the blog last week?
