Lawyer winds up Britain's longest ever legal speech after 119 days - Yahoo! News
Is he getting paid by the word? And this is just his opening statement. Wait until he gets to closing argument.

LONDON (AFP) - A top lawyer for the Bank of England is set to finish what is believed to be the longest speech in British legal history, which lasted 119 days, a newspaper said. Nicholas Stadlen is finally due to sit down after spending the past few months delivering his opening remarks from 125 files in the central bank's defence of an 850-million-pound (1.6 million dollar, 1.2 million euro) compensation claim by creditors to collapsed bank BCCI, the Guardian reported.
