Drawn from the Tupi-Guarani language, ‘Global Mutirão’ echoed a summit presented as one of action and delivery. The resulting text deliberately preserved the multilateral process and offered glimmers of progress, yet avoided any explicit mention of fossil fuels or of forests—despite the meeting taking place in the Amazon. This piece highlights the principal outcomes from COP30. Written by Estelle Dehon...

In this issue: Corporate insolvency processes Personal insolvency Directors and insolvency Financial institutions R&I in Scotland Daily and weekly news alerts Key dates for restructuring and insolvency professionals New Q&As Corporate insolvency processes Interpreting the term ‘premises’ in relation to a contested winding-up petition (Odeon Arcade Ltd v Smartestenergy Business Ltd) Here, the court was required to interpret paragraph 3(1) of Schedule 6 to the Electricity Act 1989 (EA 1989) when considering a bid to prevent the advertisement of a winding‑up petition. It decided there was no basis to read the term ‘premises’ in that provision as ‘the whole premises’.

Accordingly, liability tracks usage rather than ownership, save where the premises are vacant. The owner of the whole premises (in this case, the freeholder) would be responsible for the charges only...

Trespasser or oral tenancy Given the circumstances and the length of time she has been there, it is improbable that the sister in law is occupying as either: a trespasser (albeit a tolerated one); or under a lease, since a lease may only be created orally where: the term does not exceed three years, it is not of an incorporeal hereditament, it takes effect in possession, and it is at the best rent reasonably obtainable without taking a fine. See the Law of Property Act 1925, ss 52 and 54, and our Q&A. A landlord let a property on an assured shorthold tenancy starting 4 May 2015 for a fixed term of six months.
