“In determining which local authority was to be the designated authority in care order proceedings governing a child, where the mother was herself a child in care, the ‘disregard provision’ contained within section 105(6) of the Children Act 1989 did not apply to the mother. It applied only to the child who was the subject of the care order proceedings.”

“When a defendant in a criminal trial had not been put on an identification parade, the decision as to whether to allow a dock identification was a matter for the trial judge in the light of all the relevant circumstances. However where a dock identification was admitted in evidence the trial judge was required to give the jury careful directions as to the dangers of relying on that evidence, and to warn the jury of the disadvantages to the defendant of having been denied the opportunity of participating in an identification parade.”

“The provision of housing accommodation was, and could only be, a charitable purpose if it was justified as charitable in respect of the direct benefit provided. It could only be so justified if it was provided to meet a relevant need of the class eligible to occupy it so as to fall within the spirit and intendment of the preamble to the Statute of Charitable Uses 1601 (‘the Statute of Elizabeth’) either directly or by analogy.”

Migrationsverket v Kastrati and Others (Case C-620/10); [2012] WLR (D) 139
“The withdrawal of an asylum application which occurred before the requested member state had agreed to take charge of the asylum seeker, had the effect that Council Regulation (EC) No 343/2003 which established the criteria and mechanisms for determining the member state responsible for examining an asylum application would no longer be applicable. In such circumstances, it was for the member state within the territory of which the application was lodged to take the decisions required as a result of that withdrawal and to discontinue the examination of the application, with a record of the information relating to it being placed in the applicant’s file.”

Les Laboratoires Servier and another v Apotex Inc and others [2012] EWCA Civ 593; [2012] WLR (D) 138
“The court was able to take into account a wide range of considerations in order to ensure that the ex turpi causa defence only applied where it was a just and proportionate response to the illegality in question. Although a party claiming compensation on a cross-undertaking in damages for lost sales of products the manufacture of which infringed a foreign patent was relying on an unlawful act sufficiently causative of its claim to engage the defence in principle, the defence did not apply where the party had believed reasonably and in good faith that the patent was invalid, and the illegality was recognised by making a deduction in the assessment of damages for the amount which the foreign court would have awarded in patent infringement proceedings.”
