In re Joseph Hill & Co, Solicitors [2013] EWCA Crim 775 ; [2013] WLR (D) 210
“There was a statutory obligation on the defence to give notice to the prosecution of the name, address and date of birth of any witness whom the defendant believed was able to give evidence in support of his alibi. If there was a practice of advising that the names and addresses of alibi witnesses should not be disclosed unless and until they had provided signed proofs of evidence, that practice was misguided and wrong.”

Regina v Jawad [2013] EWCA Crim 644; [2013] WLR (D) 209
“There was no mandatory duty to take the confiscation order made under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 into account when deciding on a compensation order, but the question of compensation might have been relevant to disproportion, if compensation meant that money restored to the loser would have been counted again in the confiscation order, so it was necessary to consider both issues together.”

Abdulrahim v Council of the European Union and another (Case C-239/12P); [2013] WLR (D) 208
“Despite the removal of his name from a ‘terrorist watch list’, established by Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 imposing restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with Usama bin Laden, the Al-Qaida network and the Taliban, to which his name had been added by Council Regulation (EC) 1330/2008, the applicant retained an interest in having the courts of the European Union recognise that he should never have been included on the list since the removal of his name did not dispose of his constitutional claims.”

“In determining whether a breach of a contract had been repudiatory an important factor to be taken into account was whether, although serious, the breach had been remedied before the injured party had purported to exercise a right of termination of the contract. Likewise, if there had been delay in performance of an ongoing obligation, it might be possible for the delay to be made up by faster performance. The court had to consider the position as at the date when the injured party purported to terminate. In the absence of time being of the essence, delay would only become a repudiatory breach if it were so prolonged as to frustrate the contract.”
