Abstract

It was Lord Macmillan who (quoting US Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes) remarked that “the life of the law has not been logic, it has been experience”. The law reports, of course, abound with life’s experiences and occasionally one comes across a case that shows the bizarre and even the comic side of our human nature. This article presents a sample of such reported cases with highly unusual facts.
