“In assessing the compensation payable to a victim of miscarriage of justice who in consequence had served a term of imprisonment, the independent assessor should apply principles of other civil awards in respect of similar wrongs in order to achieve legal consistency with earlier decisions, having regard to the gravity of the offence of which the victim had been wrongly convicted and the period of his incarceration.”

“A claim form was not effectively served on a solicitor where the solicitor had not notified the claimant in writing that the solicitor had been instructed by the defendant to accept service on behalf of the defendant, and, while it did not require exceptional circumstances for exercise of the court’s power to authorise service by an alternative method to those specifically permitted, a rigorous approach was to be taken to the issue whether there was good reason to exercise that power.”

AS (Somalia) v Secretary of State for the Home Department
House of Lords
“The statutory provision that on hearing an appeal against a refusal of entry clearance the adjudicator or tribunal could have regard only to the circumstances appertaining at the time of the decision to refuse and could have no regard to any subsequent change in the applicant’s circumstances, was not incompatible with article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, even though its effect could lead to delay in bringing a family together in the United Kingdom.”

Owens v City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court [2009] EWHC 1343 (Admin); [2009] WLR (D) 20
“When an appeal to the High Court under s 26 of the Extradition Act 2003 against an order for extradition to a category 1 territory was unsuccessful, the decision of the High Court on the appeal did not become final within the meaning of s 36(5) of the Act and, accordingly, the 10-day period within which s 36(2) and (3)(a) stipulated that extradition should take place did not begin to run until the 14-day period permitted by s 32(5) for applying to the High Court for leave to appeal to the House of Lords had expired, notwithstanding that the High Court had on the same day as dismissing the appeal declined to certify for the purposes of s 32(4)(a) of the Act that a point of law of general public importance was involved. As regards the requirement in s 36(8) that ‘reasonable cause’ be shown for delay in effecting extradition, the expression could be construed as being sufficiently broad to cover a short delay arising from an error of law made by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (‘SOCA’), the body responsible for the surrender of individuals to requesting states at the conclusion of extradition proceedings under the 2003 Act, in calculating the period within which the person must be extradited as specified in s 36(3) of the Act.”

L’Oréal SA and others v Bellure NV and others (Case C-487/07); [2009] WLR (D) 203
“The claimants, producers and marketers of luxury perfumes, were the proprietors in the United Kingdom of well-known trade marks, some in the form of word marks alone, and others being word and figurative marks including a representation of the bottle or packaging for the particular perfume. The defendants, the producer of and two companies which marketed imitations of fine fragrances, offered a range of products some of whose bottles and packaging were generally similar to those of products of the claimants’, although it was common ground that the similarity was unlikely to mislead professionals or the public. The defendant marketing companies provided to their retailers lists which compared the smell of a product of the defendants’ with a product of the claimants’ which was being imitated, in each case identified by reference to the word mark by which the product was known. In trade mark infringement proceedings brought by the claimants, a number of issues arose relating to the interpretation of (i) Council Directive 89/104/EEC on trade marks and (ii) article 3a(1) of Council Directive 84/450/EEC on misleading and comparative advertising as amended by European Parliament and Council Directive 97/55/EC (‘Directive 84/450’), and the Chancery Division of the High Court referred questions thereon to the European Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling.”
