High Court Mumblings

In a matter before the Ld. VIIIth Bench of the Hon'ble High Court of Calcutta, pertaining to trademark infringement and passing off, the following submissions were made amongst others.

"Such warnings, milords, only affect the pocket and not the brain" ...wherein warnings refer to the mandatory images being put on tobacco product packages at present.

"Milk, milords, is also carcinogenic, except the 20 billion dollar dairy industry won't let it be known".

Answering the Ld. Bench on whether the parties in contention were related the counsel for the appellants stated "Milords, we are all descendents of Genghis Khan, legitimate or illegitimate" ...to which Justice Bannerjee replies "Yes, yes Genghis Khan was a very prolific man".

I don't think I've ever said that I enjoy being an Advocate. Well I do. And now you know why. Cheers.

Since I have no idea of any of this, do the milords wear wigs?
