“Although cost was an important factor, our relationship with LexisNexis, their responsiveness, flexibility, and the integration available with other products were key factors.”

HMRC v Bolt Services UK Ltd [2025] UKUT 100 (TCC) Bolt Services UK Ltd (Bolt) procured passenger transport from private hire vehicle operators and resold those journeys to its own customers, comprising overseas tourists visiting the UK and UK residents travelling for both personal and business purposes, without prior reservation. The dispute focused on domestic passenger transport within the UK provided on an on-demand basis, rather than through advance booking arrangements made ahead of travel. Travel by private hire vehicle is generally liable to VAT at the standard rate where the provider is registered for VAT purposes, yet many private hire vehicle operators in the UK are not registered and have turnover at a level that does not oblige registration under VAT rules. Bolt contended in this case...
Forthcoming change: Following the Government’s response to the Ministry of Justice and the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) consultation Modernising Lasting Powers of Attorney, the Powers of Attorney Bill secured Royal Assent on 18 September 2023, becoming the Powers of Attorney Act 2023 (PAA 2023). PAA 2023 will amend the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA 2005) to deliver a more modern lasting power of attorney (LPA) service. The changes will include: Introducing regulations so those involved in making an LPA can choose to sign the LPA digitally or on paper; Removing the option for attorneys to register an LPA, meaning only the donor will be allowed to register; Introducing regulations setting identification verification requirements for registration applications; Providing for a single route for registration objections to the OPG and widening who may object to include third parties, not only those named in the LPA; Making it the OPG’s responsibility, rather than the donor’s, to notify named persons that an LPA is...
Scope of this note Once security has been properly constituted, it is effective as between the security provider and the secured party. It is not, however, automatically binding on third parties such as a liquidator or an administrator of the security provider. In many situations, additional steps must be taken to perfect the security. Perfection is the process by which security is made enforceable against certain third parties (though not necessarily all). The term is sometimes used more widely to cover measures that improve or safeguard a creditor’s position, eg by securing a legal interest or ensuring the priority of its security. For information on the third parties that may not be bound by security that has been perfected, see The difference between perfection and priority below...
ARCHIVED: This tracker is archived and no longer updated. For an overview of Court of Protection cases from 2025 onwards, see: Court of Protection—table of cases. P, Re (Property & Affairs Deputyship: Jurisdiction) [2024] EWCOP 77 (T2) Court of Protection determines it has jurisdiction to consider whether P’s mother should continue as property and affairs deputy The proceedings related to P, an adult who sustained a brain injury in an accident and had a substantial personal injury claim. His mother had been appointed by the Court of Protection as his property and affairs deputy, and the present decision addressed an application seeking to revoke that appointment. The litigation had been protracted. Earlier, the court permitted ‘closed material’ to be withheld from P’s parents to facilitate capacity assessments; for a summary of that ruling, see here. Despite that step, neither the Official Solicitor nor the court gained clarity about P’s condition or even his location. It was reported that P was now residing in Italy. HHJ Burrows concluded that...

When choosing an electronic verification provider, you should be able to show sufficient understanding of the provider’s (i) system inputs; (ii) the data sources the system uses to confirm identity; (iii) the system’s outputs and what they signify; and (iv) how the system aligns with the relevant provisions of the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017), SI 2017/692, as amended. Completing this questionnaire will help you reach a risk‑based judgement on whether, at its stated level of assurance, the provider’s systems deliver an appropriate degree of reliability and independence given the potential risks. 1 General Company name [ Insert company name ] Registered address [ Insert address ] Main country of operation [ Insert country ] Additional countries of operation [ Insert country ] Primary contact (name, role and contact information) [ Insert primary contact ] What are the operating hours?

General This Precedent serves for a complete security release and is designed for bilateral debentures or mortgage instruments, where the chargor is a company registered in Ireland, and is intended for use in relation to that specific documentation. Such releases are ordinarily recorded by a deed of release, which is the usual means of documenting the discharge of a mortgage or charge. That approach matters especially if security is discharged early or before the debt is fully satisfied, as it removes arguments about absence of consideration and assures any third party dealing with the security provider that the release is valid. A complete release is appropriate where the creditor no longer needs security to remain in place, for instance when every liability owed to the security holder is being paid off or refinanced by a different lender. If a full release occurs, the security provider’s obligations and liabilities are likewise discharged...
Under the Capital Funding Guide issued by Homes England, where a development lies within a designated protected area (DPA) and benefits from grant, the registered provider (RP) granting a shared ownership lease must include one of two provisions: limit staircasing to a maximum of 80%; or if staircasing beyond 80% is permitted, require the leaseholder to sell their share back to the landlord (or a nominee that is also an RP) at market value when they wish to sell. In certain cases, a local authority can seek a waiver of these conditions from Homes England where the supply of shared ownership homes is no longer constrained. Notwithstanding guidance suggesting one of the above clauses is mandatory for every shared ownership lease in a DPA, our understanding is that the applicable regulations do not impose this where the site has not received grant. For more detail, see: Practice Note: Entitlements under shared ownership leases Housing (Shared Ownership Leases)...
