‘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.’

‘The BBC reports that Lauren Edwards (Rochester and Strood, Lab), who came second in the ballot for Commons private Members’ bills, is to take up the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill that failed in the last session of Parliament when it ran out of time in the Lords. According to the report, her intention is to introduce an identical bill to the one that was read the third time in the Commons and sent to the Lords, with the intention of invoking the procedure under the Parliament Acts, assuming that the Commons passes the bill and the Lords fails to do so.’

‘Following the release of the Report by the National Audit Office (“NAO”) (“the Report”) on royal residences, it has emerged that King Charles pays the rent on properties occupied by his nieces, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. The properties are provided through The Royal Household, thus it is presumed that Charles pays the rent to The Household (although this is not made explicitly clear in the Report). This arrangement has been criticised on the grounds that the princesses do not carry out official royal duties. This blog analyses constitutional aspects of this arrangement, arguing that there are three grounds on which this might be thought to be an improper use of funds.’

‘The quantification and valuation of carried interest (or Carry) is often a contentious issue in financial remedy proceedings. This is because Carry is illiquid, uncertain in value and only realisable at some future (and often unknown) point in time. These factors make it difficult to know the value that should be attributed to it. To complicate matters further, Carry can also be highly valuable if certain criteria are met (or entirely valueless, if those criteria are not met), and, as a result, can often be a key asset in the case.’

‘In 1966, as England won their last men’s football World Cup, the Observer noted that the win would offer some relief from the “economic gloom” pervading the country. Public sector wages were frozen, following a run on the pound instigated by a National Union of Seamen strike. This was one of the many moments in these years when the position of nationalised industries in relation to the government was questioned; were they to operate as independent and commercial entities, or were they a tool of government policy?’
