'In the Boiler Room': Principle and Practice in the Mechanics of Jurisdiction

• What really matters in the Court’s exercise of jurisdiction? Does the structure of our law of jurisdiction make sense?
• Are the most important constraints ones of principle, or practical? Or are the two not really distinguishable? 
• Which important constraints are unlikely to be obvious to the reader of the standard textbooks, but determinative in real cases?

Thomas Raphael KC will take up these questions in a presentation and discussion on 'In the Boiler Room': Principle and Practice in the Mechanics of Jurisdiction. The meeting will take place from 12.30pm to 1.30pm in the Old Dining Hall at St Edmund Hall, with a light lunch available after the meeting from 1.30pm.
