Businesses spearheaded by wine importer VOS Selections urged the Court of Appeal to issue its mandate without delay, enabling the Trade Court to determine the most appropriate remedy for importers implicated in the suit, according to their motion placed before the court. The mandate, which the US Supreme Court fully upheld in its ruling of 27 February 2026, found tariffs authorised under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) unlawful, yet vacated and remitted the question of a permanent injunction to the Trade Court for additional consideration there. 'Issuing the mandate at once not only accords with this Court's stay, it will also expedite a fair and efficient resolution of this matter and more than 900 related challenges to the tariffs presently pending before the Court of International Trade (CIT),' the companies stated, and easing the Court's administration of claims. They further observed that, during the proceedings, the government acknowledged it would provide refunds with interest if the dispute over IEEPA tariffs reached a stage where no...

What are the practical implications of this case? In a standard, rather than mental health, breathing space moratorium, a creditor will generally find it simpler to persuade the court to continue with a bankruptcy petition already on foot than to secure permission to present a fresh petition, because, in the former scenario, the court’s discretion is not constrained by the limitations imposed by the breathing space legislation, whereas seeking to present during the moratorium engages those constraints. Moreover, in applying those statutory limits, where the debtor has had ample time to obtain advice, explore alternative solutions, and prepare adequately for a hearing, allowing the petition to proceed will not be viewed as causing the debtor any detriment. A petition will also not constitute an abuse of process for an extraneous purpose merely because a creditor is angry or vengeful; rather, there must be evidence showing that the petition was brought with the intention of harming the debtor, as opposed to legitimately setting the bankruptcy process in motion. Accordingly, continuation...

The Budget The Budget is a Parliamentary occasion where the Chancellor of the Exchequer delivers key statements on the national economy. It sets out the government’s tax intentions for the next year, and at times for later periods. Most measures due in the following tax year will already have been announced and consulted on in advance. Fresh announcements may arrive on Budget day—some, mainly anti-avoidance steps, take effect immediately. Others are scheduled to commence from a future date. The Budget also precedes the presentation of the Finance Bill to Parliament. In most years there is a single Finance Bill, though in some—such as those featuring a general election—there have been two or even three, as outlined below. Income tax and corporation tax are annual charges, so they can only be levied for a year (a tax year for income tax, or a financial year for corporation tax) where an Act of Parliament provides for them. Consequently, the government’s power to charge...

ARCHIVED: This archived Practice Note monitored how bills moved through Parliament throughout the session running from June 2017 to October 2019, which concluded with the Prorogation of Parliament on 8 October 2019 as noted here. Prorogation brings to a close all outstanding Parliamentary bills that have not obtained Royal Assent, unless a motion in either House carries them over in the usual way. Two of the bills from that Parliamentary session were carried over to the next session. Parliament is scheduled to re-open on 14 October 2019, and measures progressing in the subsequent session will be tracked separately. On 24 September 2019, the Supreme Court ruled that the prorogation of Parliament, made by Order in Council dated 28 August 2019, was unlawful, null and of no effect. Consequently, Parliament was not in fact prorogued on 9 September 2019. For more detail, see: LNB News 24/09/2019 21. See Q&As: What is prorogation of Parliament? and How is prorogation of Parliament relevant to Brexit? Accordingly, the...

This Precedent sets out general practical guidance on disclosure within employment tribunal proceedings for information purposes. Your employment solicitor can give tailored advice according to your situation and needs. Disclosure of documents—general principles Papers of various types will typically constitute a major element of the evidence presented in an employment tribunal claim. For justice to be done in the case, there must be clear and fair disclosure. Disclosure is the procedure by which relevant and necessary documents are made available and shown to the other side as part of preparing for the hearing. This prevents unfairness caused by one party having exclusive access to documents, springing late disclosure, cherry-picking, or concealing damaging material. The employment tribunal may require disclosure of documents under its general case management powers, either of its own motion or on an application made by a party. Directions about disclosure are often included in the standard directions issued by tribunals when a claim is commenced (sometimes called automatic directions), and in orders the tribunal may...
