His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) online portal.

With a click more potent than Cupid's arrow, the solicitor "issued a final order of divorce in proceedings between Mrs Williams, the applicant wife, and Mr Williams,"

And why is a lawyer the one finalizing the divorce order?
Shouldn't that power solely lie with the judge (or the judge's staff)?

We are basically relying on a bottleneck created by the need to manually research cases in order to prevent a giant legal apocalypse

98% of Federal Court cases are settled https://www.npr.org/2023/02/22...
TFA also mentions that the same situation exists at the State level as well.

All it takes for your apocalypse to materialize is for X% of defendants to say "I want a trial"

It is important to note that Section 230â(TM)s broad protection of Wikimedia projects and other online services does not leave litigants like Mr. White without options. Instead, the law simply requires that litigants direct their complaints at the individuals who made the statements at issue, rather than the forums where the statements were made.

So they want him to subpoena the IP address and sue the contributor who posted his image.

Seems like a fair compromise.

As far as Glenn, I have a feeling that if he had a case the story would be printed already. Why? He'd basically print it and be right there, daring them to sue him. The fact he hasn't printed it says far more than his fluffy words of poutrage.

You might have missed that Musk made the same claim about 2016, with the 1-camera sensor system. The 2017 claim was with the newer 8-camera system, and the claim was made before Tesla even had software for the new sensors, and the Tesla then lacked adaptive cruise control, adaptive high beam, self parking, summon, and other things that the prior model did have. I'm embarrassed that I actually believed these claims.
