This Practice Note sets out a high-level guide to Regulation (EU) 2022/1925, the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA), viewed from an Irish standpoint. It addresses the DMA’s effects on the Irish marketplace, outlines the suite of rules the DMA introduces, explains how gatekeepers are designated, and describes the European Commission’s enforcement toolkit under the regime. It also considers worldwide compliance expectations, the forthcoming steps towards rolling out the DMA, and the key dates for meeting the obligations it imposes. The Digital Markets Act On 15 December 2020, the European Commission (the Commission) unveiled proposals for two EU-wide measures to govern digital services-the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act. On 27 October 2022, the Commission completed adoption of the DMA by publishing its text in the EU Official Journal, triggering a six‑month transition period before the DMA became enforceable on 2 May 2023.

This Practice Note This Practice Note explores the principal procedural steps for bringing a statutory derivative claim under sections 260–264 of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006), covering the permission application and the test the court will apply. It offers guidance on construing and applying the relevant CPR provisions. Depending on the court dealing with your matter, you should also be alert to any additional requirements—see Court-specific guidance below. Practitioners should note that, with effect from 6 April 2023, the CPR provisions concerning derivative claims were amended. In particular, CPR 19 was updated and CPR PD 19C was amended and re-designated as CPR PD 19A. These changes did not materially alter the substance of the approach to derivative claims, but the numbering of the pertinent provisions was changed. Judgments issued before 6 April 2023 may therefore refer to the previous provisions and
This Practice Note offers practical direction on the relevance and distinctions of the like product in trade remedy inquiries. It sets out the reasons for identifying like products in anti-dumping, subsidy and safeguard inquiries. The note explains how the concept of like product guides the scope of an inquiry, the definition of the domestic industry and the assessment of injury. Introduction Trade remedy inquiries may vary in the subject under examination. Anti-dumping inquiries consider whether a product is sold in the export market for less than it is sold in the exporter’s home market. Countervailing inquiries consider whether the imported product benefits from a subsidy granted by the exporting Member State. Safeguard inquiries, in turn, consider whether goods are entering in suddenly increased quantities due to unforeseen circumstances. In all three types of trade remedy inquiry, it is crucial to specify what the imported product is. In
Duty to act personally As a matter of principle, the basic rule is that a trustee must act in person because the settlor personally selected that individual for their specific skill or insight into the beneficiaries, and their affairs. The Trustee Delegation Act 1999 (TDA 1999) allows trustees, in defined situations, to delegate on an individual basis. The Trustee Act 2000 (TrA 2000) outlines the trustees’ default powers of collective delegation where the trust deed does not confer broader express powers. In essence, trustees may pass on most administrative tasks, but not dispositive powers. Agents, nominees and custodians Under the TrA 2000, the management of trust assets may now be entrusted to others, and trustees can appoint specified persons to serve as nominees for the trust. Collective delegation TrA 2000, Pt IV (ss 11–27) provides for trustees to delegate administrative powers and discretions. This operates subject to any

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
