Veale Wasbrough loses 'Basil Fawlty' discrimination claims for RCGP

Let's see, it's a website about the legal profession trying to make really boring legal judgements interesting to its readers. I'm no media expert, and doubt any of my esteemed friends on this comments post are either, but I suspect they have to find a way of making it interesting. It seems to me that most newspapers etc use this tactic to draw readers in. Otherwise you'd read a headline that said "some terribly tedious and ordinary QC defended a client against claims from another terribly tedious and ordinary QC's client and one side convinced the judge that they were right on some, but not all, of the points" Who's going to read that? And trials are 'combats' between lawyers - do you speak about 'winning' a case or not?
