FUNDS FUN

No need to be intimidated by the Court Funds Office’s updates on 25 May 2018 of its 33 forms. The amendment to each form is restricted to the addition of a link to its privacy notice. The old forms may still be used.

GDPR ANTIDOTE 1st DOSE

Significant decisions made solely on automated processing (SOAP) are now challengeable under s 14 of the Data Protection Act 2018 (commenced on 25 May 2018 by SI 2018/625 and see Art 22(2)(b) of GDPR). We could be looking here at knockbacks for mortgage and other credit applications and recruitment aptitude tests. The controller must give written notification to the data subject as soon as reasonably practicable that a SOAP decision has been made. Within one month the subject may request reconsideration or a new non-SOAP decision. The controller must comply without undue delay and in any event within one month with that period extendable by up to two months, if necessary (see Art 12(3) of GDPR).

NLJ this week: Employment law’s fine margins
From gender-critical speech to notice periods and incapability dismissals, employment law continues to turn on fine distinctions. In his latest employment law brief for NLJ, Ian Smith of Norwich Law School reviews a cluster of recent decisions, led by Bailey v Stonewall, where the Court of Appeal clarified the limits of third-party liability under the Equality Act
NLJ this week: Promises broken on non-molestation orders?
Non-molestation orders are meant to be the frontline defence against domestic abuse, yet their enforcement often falls short. Writing in NLJ this week, Jeni Kavanagh, Jessica Mortimer and Oliver Kavanagh analyse why the criminalisation of breach has failed to deliver consistent protection
NLJ this week: Assisted dying under the legal microscope
Assisted dying remains one of the most fraught fault lines in English law, where compassion and criminal liability sit uncomfortably close.
