United Kingdom v European Parliament and another (Case C-270/12); [2014] WLR (D) 17
‘The powers available to ESMA under article 28 of Parliament and Council Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 of 14 March 2012 on short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps (OJ 2012 L86, p 1) were precisely delineated and amenable to judicial review in the light of the objectives established by the delegating authority. Accordingly, those powers did not imply that ESMA was vested with a “very large measure of discretion” that was incompatible with the FEU Treaty.’

‘Lawyers may not always think of themselves as business people; family lawyers in particular are often very client focused, looking to achieve the best outcome for parties who are going through what will often be one of the worst periods of their lives. It can be hard, when weighed down with a busy caseload, to peak above the parapet and take time to reflect on how family law is changing. All businesses change over time, some faster than others. Change within the family law justice system has accelerated at an incredible pace in the last few years and 2014 will be no exception.’
