Great lawsuits of our time

I am indebted to Italy's supreme court for deciding that 'Teachers must not spit at headteachers'. Yes, really.

And there's more:

'The court also slammed the teacher's claim that his actions were an acceptable form of disagreement, ruling that spitting is not a ''legitimate'' means of ''critical expression'''.

In the best Jarndyce and Jarndyce tradition doubtless there will be further litigation needed to clarify the application of the precedent.
