For key developments relating to the UK's consumer credit regime, see UK Consumer credit—timeline. 2023 Date Source Document Description 16 November 2023 FCA Review of our approach to secondary brokers The FCA announced that it has recently reviewed its interpretation of the consumer credit legislation for Limited Permission secondary credit brokers, looking specifically at how the legislation applies to credit broking firms whose main business activity is the supply of non-financial services. As part of this review, firms that were authorised as Full Permission credit broker firms may be eligible to become authorised as Limited Permission firms, depending on what activities they undertake. If they are eligible to change from Full to Limited Permission, they may be entitled to a refund on a proportion of their past regulatory fees. 14 November 2023 FCA CP23/21: Consumer credit—Product Sales...
Due diligence—easements—checklist A property may: • have the benefit of easements exercisable over other property; or • be subject to easements exercisable over the property for the benefit of other property The land over which an easement is exercised is called the 'servient land'. The land with the benefit of an easement is called the 'dominant land'. An easement may entitle the owner of dominant land to: • make use of the servient land (eg a right of way), or • receive something from the servient land without interference or obstruction (eg a right of light, air or support) An easement may require the owner of servient land to refrain from using the servient land in such a way as to interfere with the easement, for example: • by leaving a right of way over the servient land clear and unobstructed, or • by not building on the servient land in such a way as to, for example, obstruct the light received by the dominant land An easement does not...

Commodities arbitration—trade associations and arbitration rules An introduction to commodities arbitration Arbitration under the rules of a trade association is a major feature of commodities disputes. In certain trades, it is almost invariable practice for sale contracts to provide that disputes are to be resolved by arbitration under the rules of a trade association. This ensures a ready supply of disputes for the arbitration departments of the associations, and a thriving community of arbitrators, lawyers and trade representatives working within those institutions. A trade association is a membership organisation whose purpose is to bring together the principal actors in a particular trade. For example, the Grain and Feed Trade Association (GAFTA) is an association of traders, brokers, superintendents, analysts, fumigators, arbitrators and other professionals in the international grain trade. Note: guidance on arbitration under the GAFTA Arbitration Rules No. 125 is provided in Practice Notes: Gafta—commencing an arbitration under Gafta Arbitration Rules No. 125, Gafta—the arbitration process under Gafta Arbitration Rules No. 125, and Gafta—appeals under Gafta...
Implementing a CPO—notice to treat and General Vesting Declaration Context A compulsory purchase order (CPO) which has been confirmed becomes operative on the date on which the notice of its confirmation is first published, unless it is subject to special parliamentary procedure (see Practice Note: Compulsory purchase—special categories of land). The notice of confirmation must be issued within six weeks of the date of the CPO being confirmed, see Practice Note: Consideration and confirmation of a compulsory purchase order, including making objections, public inquiries, hearings and written representations. However, the confirmation of a CPO does not vest title in the land subject to the CPO in the acquiring authority, nor does it give the acquiring authority power to take possession of that land. The acquiring authority must implement the CPO by taking a positive step to exercise the powers conferred on it by the CPO. Acquiring authorities will need to have demonstrated reasonable attempts to acquire land by agreement in the shadow of a CPO, having ensured...

In a criminal appeal to the Crown Court, CrimPR 34.2(5) proves that 'unless the respondent agrees that the Court should allow the appeal' a respondent's notice must be filed. What are the consequences of failure to do so? Would the appeal be allowed by default? Is the respondent permitted to file and serve a respondent's notice after this time? Criminal Procedure Rule (CrimPR), SI 2020/759, r 34.2 is entitled ‘Service of appeal and respondent’s notices’. CrimPR, SI 2020/759, r 34.2(5) provides as follows: 'Where the appeal is against conviction or against a finding of guilt, unless the respondent agrees that the court should allow the appeal— (a) the respondent must serve a respondent's notice on— (i) the Crown Court officer; and (ii) the appellant; and (b) the respondent must serve that notice not more than 15 business days after service of the appeal notice.' The clear inference is accordingly that, where the respondent intends to contest an appeal to the Crown Court, they are required to file a Respondent’s Notice...
Where A consents to their caveat being removed and to the grant being issued in consideration of a payment from the estate can this be dealt with by a consent summons to the Probate Registry or would an application to the Chancery Division be required? We assume that the caveator’s appearance to the warning stated their contrary interest or a cause against the sealing of the grant. If the caveator had not entered an appearance, and did not issue a prior summons for directions, then the caveat could be withdrawn at any time and ceases to have effect (rule 44(11)) of the Non-Contentious Probate Rules 1987 (NCPR 1987), SI 1987/2024 (SI 1987/2024, r 44(11)). An application for probate can be made in these circumstances without any further court order. Where the caveator has entered an appearance to the warning, the probate registry will not issue the grant of representation without the court's decision. The caveat would

Arbitration analysis: The court remitted an award back to a tribunal for reconsideration because the tribunal had rejected a claim for damages on the basis of an argument that had neither been raised by the parties nor put to them in the course of the arbitration. The court was satisfied that the tribunal had erred in law and so had the claimant been provided with an opportunity to comment on the point, it would have had the opportunity to persuade the tribunal that the point was wrong. The claimant had therefore suffered a substantial injustice. Written by Jennifer Haywood, barrister at Serle Court.
