Complainants said CurrencyWave’s ad wrongly implied Financial Conduct Authority regulation and used inaccurate price comparisons. For Eurostar, concerns were that Instagram and Facebook ads overstated the availability of £39 fares and omitted key information. The ASA upheld both. See: LNB News 06/11/2024 51.

R (on the application of the Welsh Language Commissioner) v National Savings and Investments [2014] EWHC 488 (Admin) What are the practical implications of this case? This was the first judicial review concerning the Welsh language and the first conducted in Welsh. Although the governing law has since been replaced, it has consequences for all Crown bodies that have adopted Welsh language schemes. As a Crown body, National Savings and Investments is subject to a less onerous statutory framework than a public authority. It was not obliged to adopt a Welsh language scheme, yet did so. The scheme’s terms were found to create a legitimate expectation that NS&I would undertake a consultation before deciding to revoke it. The case underscores that where a procedural benefit—such as consultation—is legitimately expected, that expectation must be taken into account when exercising implied statutory powers. Failure to do so leaves the decision susceptible to judicial review. What was the background? The Welsh Language Commissioner assumed responsibility for the approval and...

Court of Appeal—professional negligence ARCHIVED : This Practice Note has been archived and is not maintained. The Court of Appeal upheld an appeal in a claim against solicitors, holding that the loss of a chance head of damage was too remote. At first instance, the judge concluded that Lewis Silkin LLP had fallen below the required standard by not advising their client to include a jurisdiction provision in his employment agreement with a franchisee involved in the Indian Premier League’s Twenty20 competition. Because no jurisdiction clause appeared in the contract, when the client later issued proceedings against the franchisee over a severance entitlement, he faced jurisdictional challenges (ultimately dismissed) brought by the franchisee, which postponed his obtaining judgment for £10 million in severance. The client’s case was that, with proper advice on jurisdiction, the contract would have contained an exclusive jurisdiction clause. On that footing, he said, he would have secured judgment for the severance sum sooner (as there would have been no hold‑ups arising from jurisdiction objections) and...

What is a protector? A protector is an individual who holds powers under a trust but is not a trustee. A protector is independent of the trustee and stands apart from the trustee’s role. The protector’s role is usually to monitor, oversee, or exercise a degree of control over the administration and running of the trust by the trustee. It is commonly the case that a settlor chooses to provide for a protector where a third party or an institutional trust company is formally appointed as trustee. Why have a protector? There is no requirement to have a protector of a trust, and the settlor must decide whether or not to provide for one at all. The power most commonly given to a protector is the power to appoint and remove the trustee of the trust as needed. If there is no protector, or no person who is independent of the trustees who holds this power, then difficulties can arise if the beneficiaries are unhappy with the...
