ARCHIVED: This Practice Note is archived and is no longer maintained. Amid concerns about potential consumer harm in the pre-paid funeral plan market, HM Treasury launched a call for evidence on sector regulation in June 2018. Responses indicated that detriment was occurring and that mandatory regulation was required. After evaluating various options, including establishing a new statutory regulator, the UK government concluded that extending Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) oversight to all funeral plan providers was the most effective and proportionate way to strengthen market regulation. On 1 June 2019, HM Treasury opened a consultation to gather stakeholder views on proposed legislative changes to bring every funeral plan provider within the FCA’s jurisdiction. The government issued its consultation response in March 2020, confirming its final policy to amend the regulatory framework accordingly. It should be noted that, under article 59(1) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001, SI 2001/544 (RAO), entering into a funeral plan contract as a provider was already a regulated activity…

Maintenance Every sewerage undertaker is under a duty to ensure its sewers and lateral drains are cleaned and kept in good order so that its area is, and continues to be, effectively drained. Section 79 of the Environment Act 2021, which will commence on a day appointed by regulations of the Secretary of State, places an obligation on undertakers to prepare, publish and maintain a drainage and sewerage management plan. Such a plan sets out how the undertaker will manage and develop its drainage and sewerage systems so that it is, and remains, able to meet its duties under Part IV of the Water Industry Act 1991 (WIA 1991). Pending commencement, the Secretary of State has required undertakers to produce non-statutory plans in early 2023 as a planning tool for Ofwat’s 2024 Price Review covering 2025–30. Companies have been asked to assess present capacity and the actions required over 5, 10 and 25-year horizons. Undertakers cannot excuse non-compliance with WIA 1991, s 94(1) by relying on outdated infrastructure...

A protected party (P) falls within the jurisdiction of the Court of Protection (the court) only where incapacity is evidenced. The court may then transfer its powers by naming a deputy to act for P, pursuant to an order. That authority exists strictly in line with the order’s terms and duration, and endures only so long as those terms allow. Should P cease to fall within the court’s remit, the deputy’s mandate will not continue; likewise, where the deputy cannot act, or it would be inappropriate for them to do so, a change is required. In such cases, having considered the evidence lodged with an application, the court may order the discharge of a deputy and, where apt, appoint a successor. Replacing a deputy There are occasions when a deputy no longer wishes to continue, or is unable to serve. This might be because deputy cannot carry out their obligations and seeks to be replaced, or because a professional deputy plans to retire from practice. A successor may,...

Certain specified employees have the statutory right to make a request to undertake study or training This entitlement applies to employees working for organisations with 250 or more staff who meet the qualifying service requirement (see: Eligibility and qualifying period, below). Although the scheme was originally intended to be broadened to include smaller employers, the government deferred that step to allow further evaluation of the likely impact on small businesses, and there are currently no plans to proceed with any extension. The approach to counting the number of employees for these purposes is prescribed by the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (Commencement No 2 and Transitional and Saving Provisions) Order 2010 (Commencement No 2 Order 2010), SI 2010/303. For a pro-forma policy aligned with the statutory arrangements, see Precedent: Policy—time off work for study and training. Official guidance on this right can be found on the GOV.UK website. The legal position on study or training rights and obligations for young employees is distinct from that applicable...
