‘Digitalisation has become an inseparable aspect of delivering public services, inspiring conversations around the impacts of digitalisation on citizens and of what it means for states to transition into being e-governments. Despite these ongoing discussions a largely overlooked topic is the process by which digital public services are designed and delivered in the first place. This is surprising considering that the design process constitutes a significant area of administrative decision-making. It not only has ramifications for those relying on public services as most key decisions on the shape, scope, and substance of digital services rest within that process, but also for administration in an era of digital governance.’

‘As is well known, the group “Palestine Action” has been subject to proscription by the Home Secretary under the Terrorism Act 2000. The Court of Appeal has recently handed down judgment in litigation challenging the designation: Secretary of State for the Home Department v R (Huda Ammori) [2026] EWCA Civ 721. The Divisional Court had found the proscription of Palestine Action to be unlawful. The Court of Appeal has reversed the Divisional Court’s decision, and therefore reinstated the decision of the Home Secretary. Subject to any decision of the Supreme Court, Palestine Action remains a proscribed terrorist organisation.’
