    Hey guys,

    @Jacob Miller this may be a question for you as it is based off your article but does anyone know whether it is breaching the SRA Code of Conduct to lie on behalf of a client to the other party in the course of negotiation- I know you cannot do so if you are misleading the court but not sure if it's generally prohibited in a private negotiation setting, my gut would say so but wanted to check!
    This would be a breach of rule 1.4 of the SRA Code of Conduct.

    (sorry it's taken me ages to reply btw I was in back to back meetings 3-8 and literally just had dinner lol)

    Happy weekend everyone. Try to take some time off, get creative like @whisperingrock and look after yourself! 🥳
    But yes guys please make sure you take time for yourself and have multiple wines/beers/ales if you are so inclined this weekend - it's so important anyway but all the more important we look after ourselves in these difficult COVID times. Remind yourselves you're all doing great for even putting yourselves in this position! So many people gave up long ago but you all are still sticking at it which is something to celebrate for sure so I'm raising a glass to you all this evening :) 🍻🍷
