Economic Imperative

Diana Hulsey går videre med sin sag mod mobilselskabet, som hun anklager for at være skyld i, at hun har fået en hjernesvulst. Sir Ian Rochester og handelsministeren rotter sig sammen for at miskreditere sagens dommer - John Deed.

The case of Diana Hulsey, a single mother with terminal brain cancer who is suing a telephone company, is concluded in Deed's court. The Establishment dreads a verdict in Diana's favour, and Ian Rochester is yet again out to discredit the judge before he can deliver judgement. Rochester conspires with the phone company to accuse Deed of possessing child pornography, and Deed has to work out what to do when he finds it on his laptop.Meanwhile, Jo faces a conundrum when Diana asks her to look after her seven-year-old son when she is dead, which could be at any moment.
