“It’s election time — so judges must watch out. Even more than usual, they cannot be political. ‘I certainly don’t want to be seen as attacking the Government or any party,’ Judge Charles Harris, QC, insists. That said, he is in a position to voice judicial concerns across a broad apolitical front.”

Link Lending Ltd v Hussain and another [2010] EWCA Civ 424; [2010] WLR (D) 103
“A person, who had been taken into psychiatric care under s3 of the Mental Health Act 1983 and had been involuntarily placed elsewhere, was still in actual occupation of her own home under the land registration legislation. Where therefore the owner, lacking legal capacity, had transferred the property to a swindler for no consideration and the swindler had secured a loan on the property from a lender which he had failed to repay, the lender as the registered chargee was not entitled to dispossess her on the ground that she was not in actual occupation of her home.”

Regina (Shoesmith) v Ofsted and others [2010] EWHC 852(Admin); [2010] WLR (D) 102
“The duty of fairness which arose in respect of an Ofsted inspection carried out pursuant to s 20 of the Children Act 2004 was derived from a duty to carry out a bona fide and open-minded inspection into the operation of local authority departments and systems of safeguarding and not to inspect individuals. When making directions pursuant to s 497A of the Education Act 1996 (as inserted by s 8 of the School Standard and Framework Act 1998) to remove an office holder, the Secretary of State could, in certain circumstances, put the wider interests of child safeguarding above the interest of an individual office holder to be treated fairly. That should not mean that the individual concerned should be deprived of her reputation or other contractual or statutory rights. An individual removed from office pursuant to s 497A who had standing to bring a claim against the employer authority in the employment tribunal should bring that claim first and pursue a claim for judical review against her employer only as a last resort.”

“The definition of market abuse in s 118 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 did not require the person engaging in the behaviour in question to have intended to abuse the market and accordingly it was not essential for such an intention or purposes to be present for behaviour to fall below the objective standards expected. Moreover, the regulatory regime introduced by the Act and its Code of Conduct did not offend against the principle of legal certainty, once it was appreciated that the provisions of the Code, other than those falling within s 122(1) of the Act, were intended to have no more than evidential effect.”
