‘The appellants are road hauliers based in Poland. The respondents are part of a group of companies that buy and sell tobacco products internationally. The respondents contracted the appellants to transport a consignment of cigarettes from Poland to England. The road carriage was undertaken subject to the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road 1956 (the “CMR”), an international treaty which widely governs international transport by road and has the force of law in the UK under domestic legislation. Under a European excise duty suspension arrangement, excise duty on the cigarettes was suspended until such time as the consignment was released for commercial consumption, or was deemed to have been released for commercial consumption, as in the case of non-delivery or partial delivery due to theft.’

‘The recent judgment Re Streatham Cemetery [2023] ECC Swk 3 concerns cemetery development. Opened more than one hundred years ago, there is now very little room in Streatham Cemetery for further burials. A Petition by the Bereavement Services Manager of Lambeth LBC[1] sought permission to re-use land within two areas of the cemetery through the operation of “lifting and deepening” of existing interments, thereby creating new burial space. The observations of Petchey Ch., (above and at [16]), indicate some of the issues to be addressed on the growing shortage of burial space.’
