- W2162436106 abstract "“Now what I want is Facts. … Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. … Stick to facts, Sir!” Dickens's Mr. Gradgrind was, perhaps, a county court judge manqué . There is a clear echo of his voice in a story told—and told superbly—by Mr. Justice Mars-Jones of a judge in a rural county court who found himself bemused by a claim to an easement based on the doctrine of lost modern grant. “What's that? What's that?” he declaimed. “A lost grant? That's a very serious matter! Who lost it, and when? Was it your instructing solicitors? Let me see the affidavit of documents. …” And, on being assured that “lost grant” was a matter of legal fiction, demurred with vigour. “Fiction, is it? Fiction! ? It's not fictions we want in this court, it's facts!” Whether he had Thomas Gradgrind in mind or not, His Honour was among the prophets, for over the last fifty years facts have largely replaced fictions and, in the law of tort in particular, dogmatic rules of lawyers' law, most of them prohibitory, have been rooted out. It is true that some old plantings survive, and that some strange and undesired off-shoots have appeared, but in general the process has been successful. It has certainly been welcomed by all save a few ageing academics who year by year have lamented the disappearance of much long-cherished and well-cultivated material. It is the removal of the law's negatives, leaving liability in an increasing number of cases to be determined as an issue of fact, that is perhaps the outstanding development in the law of tort since 1921." @default.
