R (on the application of the Master Fellows and Scholars of College of Saint John the Evangelist in the University of Cambridge) v Cambridgeshire County Council [2017] EWHC 1753 (Admin), [2017] All ER (D) 96 (Jul)

There was nothing in the language of reg 5(4) of the Commons (Registration of Town or Village Greens) (Interim Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2007 (SI 2007/457), to suggest that an applicant for registration of land as a town or village green could be afforded only one opportunity to remedy a not duly made application. Accordingly, the Planning Court dismissed the claimant’s application for judicial review of the defendant commons registration authority’s decision, giving the interested party a further opportunity to take action to put his application in order.

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
Assisted dying remains one of the most fraught fault lines in English law, where compassion and criminal liability sit uncomfortably close. Writing in NLJ this week, Julie Gowland and Barny Croft of Birketts examine how acts motivated by care—booking travel, completing paperwork, or offering emotional support—can still fall within the wide reach of the Suicide Act 1961
