Judicial independance
1 like725 views
The document discusses judicial independence in the UK. It notes that the separation of powers is important to ensure judicial decisions are not politically biased. Previously, senior judges were selected through a secretive process by the Prime Minister and Lord Chancellor, allowing for political bias. A new appointments committee should remove this political bias. However, the Lord Chancellor still has some power to reject judges, allowing for political influence. The creation of the Supreme Court prevents conflict between the judiciary and legislature. Reforms ensure the Lord Chancellor never sits as a judge or is involved in appointments, keeping the branches independent.

This document discusses how to scale a business by focusing on one customer at a time through a customer lifecycle of "Addiction, Adoption, Absorption, Adaptation" (the 4A's). It describes each stage of the lifecycle in detail, emphasizing measurement of customer usage and engagement. Maintaining the lifecycle leads to reduced customer acquisition and retention costs while increasing lifetime customer value. Teams should be organized accordingly to focus on trialing, landing, expanding, renewing, and upselling customers through the 4A stages. This approach can deliver significant leverage and impact on business models.Interest rate swaps

An interest rate swap involves the periodic exchange of interest payments between two parties, with no exchange of the underlying principal amount. One party pays a fixed interest rate while the other pays a floating rate, typically tied to a reference rate such as LIBOR. Interest rate swaps can be used by companies and investors to hedge against interest rate risk and manage the costs associated with fixed versus floating rate financing. While swaps can be profitable if rates move as anticipated, they also carry risks of losses if rates move adversely.The visual rhetoric of anonymous

This document discusses the legal principles of oblique intent in criminal cases. It outlines several important court cases that have helped define how intent can be established through foreseeability of consequences:
- DPP v Smith established that a person intends the natural and probable consequences of their actions.
- Hyam v DPP found that intent exists when a person foresees a consequence as being highly probable due to their actions.
- More recent cases like Nedrick, Woolin, and Matthews and Alleyne have confirmed that a jury can only find intent if the consequence was virtually certain and the defendant appreciated this, establishing foreseeability of consequences as a rule of evidence for intent.Actus reus
Actus reusKirsty Allison

This document defines and discusses the legal concept of actus reus. It begins by defining actus reus using four sources of authority as the physical act of the crime, an act, a failure to act (omission), or a "state of affairs". It then describes actus reus as generally requiring a positive act, with an exception for cases like R v Larsonneur that involve a state of affairs. Finally, it explains five situations in which an omission may amount to actus reus: 1) when a legal duty exists, such as the duty of parents to care for children; 2) when a duty arises from a relationship; 3) when a duty arises from undertaking someone's care; 4Causation and drugs cases

This document summarizes several cases related to causation and drugs:
- R v Cato established that administering a noxious substance that causes death is an offence under the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act.
- R v Dalby rejected prosecution for death caused by illegally supplying drugs, as the supply did not directly cause death.
- R v Khan suggested non-action could establish liability if there is a duty to summon medical help in an overdose situation.
- R v Evans upheld conviction for gross negligence manslaughter when the appellant supplied heroin to her sister, recognized the sister's overdose symptoms, but failed to seek medical help, causing her death.Section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973: Financial factors

It outlines the courts' powers to approve and change the financial positions of parties upon divorce. It describes the factors courts must consider under section 25 of the MCA 1973, such as the financial resources and needs of the parties, the standard of living enjoyed during the marriage, and the conduct of the parties. Case law is discussed that provides guidance on applying these statutory factors.Judicial Separation in England and Wales
Judicial Separation in England and WalesKirsty Allison
Ìý
An applicant for legal separation must prove one of five facts under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 to be granted a separation. A legal separation and divorce have similar effects, including preventing inheritance, ending cohabitation obligations, and allowing financial relief. If divorce is barred, one can pursue legal separation instead within the first year of marriage by proving any of the five facts, without needing to show an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. A legal separation can result in financial orders, maintenance obligations, an end to cohabitation, barring inheritance, and the potential for reconciliation if remarriage is prohibited.Civil Partnerships in England and Wales
Civil Partnerships in England and WalesKirsty Allison
Ìý
Civil partnerships allow same-sex couples to legally recognize their relationship, equivalent to marriage. Partners obtain property rights, inheritance, and pension benefits. To end a civil partnership, one must apply for dissolution after one year, which deals with financial and property settlements similarly to divorce. Grounds for dissolution include irretrievable breakdown, two years living apart by consent, or five years living apart. Nullity or separation orders are also possible under certain conditions.Criminal damage
Criminal damageKirsty Allison
Ìý
The document discusses criminal damage offenses under the Criminal Damage Act 1971. It outlines the 3 offenses as basic criminal damage, aggravated criminal damage, and arson as defined in Section 1 of the Act. For basic criminal damage, the 3 elements that must be proven are: 1) destruction or damage, 2) to property, and 3) belonging to another. Damage is broadly defined based on case law. Aggravated criminal damage requires the additional element of intending or recklessly endangering life. Defenses to criminal damage are also provided in Section 5 of the Act.Criminal Law: Intoxication
Criminal Law: IntoxicationKirsty Allison
Ìý
This document summarizes several cases related to the defense of intoxication in criminal law. It establishes that voluntary intoxication generally cannot be used as a defense, as drunken intent is still considered intent. However, if a defendant was intoxicated to the point of lacking the necessary mental state or mens rea for the crime, intoxication could provide a defense for crimes requiring specific intent but not crimes of basic intent or manslaughter. Subsequent cases further clarified that mistakes due to intoxication cannot be relied on as a defense and that involuntary intoxication is also not a valid defense.Criminal Law: Diminished Responsibility 
Criminal Law: Diminished Responsibility Kirsty Allison
Ìý
This document outlines the four elements of the diminished responsibility defense in criminal cases in the UK: 1) the defendant had an abnormality of mental functioning, 2) the abnormality was a recognized medical condition, 3) the abnormality substantially impaired the defendant's ability to understand their actions, and 4) the abnormality provides an explanation for why the defendant carried out the killing. Case law has established that the impairment does not need to be total and is determined by a jury to be something between total and trivial or minimal. The abnormality and impaired state of mind must also be present at the time of the alleged killing.Tort Law: Public Policy And Psychiatric Injury
Tort Law: Public Policy And Psychiatric InjuryKirsty Allison
Ìý
This document discusses several court cases related to public policy and psychiatric injury from tort cases. It establishes that courts now have the power to consider public policy implications when imposing liability. One case did not impose liability on police who failed to act on a warning about a teacher who later killed a student, though this was later challenged. The standard for primary victims claiming psychiatric injuries was that injuries must be reasonably foreseeable, and secondary victims must meet four criteria including witnessing the incident and having a close relationship to the primary victim.More Related Content

English Legal SystemKirsty Allison
Ìý
This document discusses the definition of law according to five academics and classifies law into seven main categories. It defines law as a body of rules fixed and enforced by a sovereign authority according to John Austin, and as a system of rules according to Professor Hart. Law can also be seen as an embodiment of reason (Plato) or a tool of control (Marxist theory). The seven classifications of law covered are domestic, European, international, public, private, civil, and criminal law.Delegated Legislation: Substantive ultra vires
Delegated Legislation: Substantive ultra viresKirsty Allison
Ìý
The document discusses the concept of substantive ultra vires, which allows courts to intervene when public authorities abuse their powers by creating laws illegally or unreasonably. It provides examples of cases where authorities have overstepped their powers, such as giving a government department more authority than Parliament or forcing people to remove snow when they lacked that authority. Courts can review delegated legislation for unreasonable acts under the concept of substantive ultra vires.Delegated Legislation: Procedural Ultra Vires
Delegated Legislation: Procedural Ultra ViresKirsty Allison
Ìý
Procedural ultra vires occurs when a public authority exceeds its powers by failing to follow mandatory procedural requirements in its enabling act. Case law has established that statutory instruments will be invalidated if mandatory consultation or publication requirements are not followed, but not if the procedures are only directory. For example, in R v Secretary of State for Education and Employment, a statutory instrument setting teacher pay conditions was ruled ultra vires for failing to follow the powers granted by the enabling act.
Directives and direct effect
Directives and direct effectKirsty Allison
Ìý
Directives issued by the EU are binding on Member States and must be implemented within a strict time limit. Once implemented, individuals can rely on directives through direct effect. There are two types of direct effect: horizontal between citizens, and vertical against the state. Unimplemented directives can still be directly effective against emanations of the state like local authorities through vertical direct effect. Private companies are not considered emanations of the state so individuals cannot rely on unimplemented directives against them. National courts must interpret national law in line with directives whether implemented or not through the principle of indirect effect.Recently uploaded (20)

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.How to Configure Recurring Revenue in Odoo 17 CRM
