Lord Justice Eady would probably beg to differ based on his recent  
rulings.

Since he is the Learned Judge that appears to be creating the concern  
I think I would be inclined to worry about him rather some lawyer who  
is just expressing an opinion as opposed to making the judgement as  
Justice Eady is doing repeatedly.
