‘Why a man died hours after being released from police custody remains unknown after the jury in his inquest delivered an open conclusion.
Mohamud Hassan, 24, died in a flat on Newport Road, Cardiff in January 2021. He had been arrested the previous night on suspicion of an alleged breach of the peace. But an inquest held in Pontypridd heard no medical cause of death could be established, and no “acts or omissions” by police contributed to it.’

‘The decision by Master Clark on 16 February 2024 in Grosskopf v Grosskopf (two members of Wilberforce Chambers: Fenner Moeran KC and Simon Atkinson acted for the C in this case) is a judgment on an increasingly important point – to what extent can parties contractually agree to submit their trust dispute to arbitration? Does section 9 of the Arbitration Act 1996 bite in circumstances where the claimant seeks a replacement of the trustee with a judicial trustee? The answer it would seem is that you can, but the arbitrators will have their hands relatively tied as to what relief they can order.’
