‘In financial remedy proceedings a judge had power, under FPR r 29.15, to direct that a judgment should take effect from such later date as the court might specify. That power applied equally to a contested matrimonial matter resulting in a judgment as it did to consent orders since rule 29.15 applied to all family proceedings, including financial remedy proceedings, with no distinction being made as to whether by consent or otherwise.’

‘Patents, trade marks and design rights are valuable intellectual property (IP) rights and vital to economic growth. They ensure that research and innovation is encouraged and rewarded. And, for some small businesses, they can represent their most significant assets. The law provides effective ways to enforce IP rights but these can be misused to drive competitors from the market. In a report published today, the Law Commission is recommending reforms that will allow individuals and businesses to protect their IP rights but not at the expense of new ideas and inventions.’
