Extinguishing vehicular rights on highways under TCPA 1990, s 249 Section 249 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (TCPA 1990) provides that an order to extinguish vehicular rights on a highway may be made where certain conditions are fulfilled. The section is mainly used for pedestrian schemes or to create a cul-de-sac of a side road which would otherwise lead onto a busy main road. It can also be used to remove vehicular rights on byway open to all traffic. See Practice Note: Public rights of way. Closure of a highway can only be commenced if a planning authority resolves that the action is necessary to improve the amenity of their local area (see below). Procedure for making orders The procedure for making orders under TCPA 1990, s 249 is set out in TCPA 1990, s 252. Before making an order, the Secretary of State or the Council of a London Borough must take the following steps: • publish in at least one local newspaper circulating...

Council information—Councillors' access

Council information—Councillors' access Councillors require a great deal of information in order to exercise proper management of the local authority (LA). It is sometimes difficult to know what information held by an individual councillor is theirs to share, what information must be shared with the public, what information must be kept within the confines of the council and what must be kept to the councillor. Councils and access to information Councils are subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000; and also to the specific public access to information regulations that apply to a council and, where it has one, the council’s elected mayor or leader and cabinet in relation to the decisions it makes. These information regulations were most recently changed in September 2012. There are also access to information provisions arising from a council’s audit process. Where information is withheld, it is under a specific set of exemptions provided by law. Most of these grounds for withholding information are subject to a public interest test:...

Can an insurer refuse to provide internal correspondence and case notes relating to an insurance claim where a subject access request (SAR) is made under the UK GDPR for such information?

Can an insurer refuse to provide internal correspondence and case notes relating to an insurance claim where a subject access request (SAR) is made under the UK GDPR for such information? This Q&A assumes that the organisation that has received the SAR is a ‘controller’ of the relevant data. For an introduction to the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, Retained Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (UK GDPR) regime, including key data protection terms and concepts, such as ‘personal data’, 'processing', 'data subject' and ‘controller’, see: Data protection toolkit. As further explained in Practice Notes: The UK GDPR and DPA 2018 for insurers and Data subject rights—access, Article 15 of the UK GDPR gives individuals a right to obtain confirmation from a data controller as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed, and where it is, access to the personal data and certain further information. A request for such information is commonly known as a ‘subject access request’ (or a 'SAR' or 'DSAR'). In order to assist...

Is the permission of the court required for evidence from financial proceedings to be utilised in children proceedings (and vice versa)?

Is the permission of the court required for evidence from financial proceedings to be utilised in children proceedings (and vice versa)? In relation to evidence, first consideration should be given to the provisions of the Family Procedure Rules 2010 (FPR 2010), SI 2010/2955. FPR 2010, SI 2010/2955, 27.10, provides that proceedings to which FPR 2010 apply will be held in private except where FPR 2010 or any other enactment provides otherwise or, subject to any enactment, where the court directs otherwise. A hearing held in private means proceedings at which the general public have no right to be present (FPR 2010, SI 2010/2955, 27.10(2)). FPR 2010, PD 12G covers the communication of information relating to children proceedings and sets out at FPR 2010, PD 12G, para 2.1 the categories of people to whom information may be communicated and for what purpose. Communication outside of these provisions amounts to a contempt of court. FPR 2010, SI 2010/2955, 12.73 also provides that, for the purposes of the law relating to contempt of...

EU Data Protection Supervisory Discretion in GDPR Enforcement (TR v Land Hessen)

Information Law analysis: The Court of Justice held that the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the EU GDPR) does not oblige supervisory authorities to exercise corrective powers, such as imposing fines, in every instance of a breach. Instead, they have discretion to determine whether action is appropriate, necessary, and proportionate based on the circumstances. This case underscores the importance for data protection practitioners of advising clients not only on compliance but also on engaging effectively with supervisory authorities to mitigate enforcement risks. It further acts as an aid for practitioners who are required to advise on the potential outcomes of a minor data breach and is an illustration of the benefits of implementing proper data protection measures in the event of any breach. Written by Adam Richardson, barrister at 4-5 Gray’s Inn Square.
