Woolway v Mazars [2015] UKSC 53, [2015] All ER (D) 309 (Jul)

The Supreme Court, in allowing an appeal by the appellant valuation officer, held that premises demised to the respondent firm on the second and sixth storeys of a property were to be entered in the ratings list as separate hereditaments for the purpose of non-domestic rating. The court set out the principles which were to be applied when different storeys under common occupation in the same block were to be entered in the rating list for the purpose of non-domestic rating and questioned the application of Gilbert v S Hickinbottom & Sons Ltd [1956] 2 All ER 101 in such cases.

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
