Avoiding Negative Control in SBA MPP Joint Ventures

The government has been automatically extending some people’s pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme for a while. 

However, it’s now starting to look properly at those cases and people are at risk of curtailment where they don’t meet the requirements for an upgrade to settlement. 

Elisabeth Attwood and Karma Hickman, immigration lawyers at Bindmans, discuss what this means and what people can do about this.

EPISODE 24 - SNWA AND LAS VEGAS WATER RESOURCES

This week's Criminal Law update touches on significant sentencing decisions from the Court of Appeal Criminal Division. The podcast covers a range of topics including the proportionality of driving disqualifications in R v Harry Miles Peters, the sequencing of uplifts and guilty-plea discounts in drug conspiracy cases, and the complexities concerning coercive behaviour in domestic settings as seen in R v David Sladden. It also delves into consent and the admissibility of evidence in sexual offences, specifically in R v John McNair, alongside the handling of multiple defendants in large-scale cases like R v Harley Scamp. The discussions reflect ongoing principles regarding rehabilitation, totality in sentencing, and the evolving landscape of consent law. The podcast aims to alert practitioners to these critical legal developments while reinforcing the balance between public protection and rehabilitation.

Balancing Justice: Proportionality, Consent, and Rehabilitation

In this week's Criminal Law update, we delve into the recent judgments from the Court of Appeal Criminal Division, exploring key issues in evidence admissibility, sentencing, and fair trial rights. The podcast focuses on the significant Scottish cases of Daly v His Majesty's Advocate and Keir v His Majesty's Advocate, where the Supreme Court examined the admissibility of a complainer’s past behaviour in sexual offence trials under the European Convention on Human Rights. We also review pivotal English cases such as R v Chamdal, which addresses the sentencing of environmental offences and highlights the complexities of strict liability. Further cases like R v UCS and R v TJ underscore the challenges in ensuring proportionality in sentencing, particularly involving young offenders and sexual offences. Finally, the podcast discusses the implications of R v Cunningham and others, which illustrates the critical importance of correct jury instructions in joint-enterprise situations. Together, these cases reflect a modern approach to criminal law, balancing the protection of vulnerable parties, rights respecting evidence practices, and ensuring fair trial principles are upheld.

2 Corinthians 3

In this episode of "Clearly Conspicuous," consumer protection attorney Anthony DiResta examines why board governance is under the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) microscope and what directors must do to meet agency expectations. He begins by categorizing the main themes of regulatory focus: data security, antitrust and board composition, compliance and risk governance, and the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic accountability. He then offers practical steps such as building regulatory literacy, establishing measurable risk reporting, structuring effective governance committees, testing resources and programs, documenting oversight in minutes and embedding ethics into culture, along with a checklist of specific governance risks to monitor.
