Baines contended that Mail Online—ranked the UK’s third most visited news site and fifth globally by trade outlet Press Gazette—was breaching privacy laws.

For further detail, see Practice Note: Voluntary striking off and dissolution....

1. What is the applicable legislation? The main statute overseeing foreign direct investment (FDI) in Mexico is the Foreign Investment Law (FIL), published in the Federal Official Gazette (Diario Oficial de la Federación) on 27 December 1993 and most recently amended on 15 June 2018, together with its Regulations.
