“The owner of a care home, Annette Hopkins, represented by Kate Lumsdon (23es) and Barry McElduff (2KBW), had her conviction for negligence quashed by the Court of Appeal, who cast doubt over the viability of the offence created by the Mental Capacity Act 2005: R v Hopkins and Priest [2011]EWCA Crim 1513. The Court of Appeal, quashing the conviction on other grounds, held that in its view the offence as drafted failed the test of sufficient certainty. The Court was however bound by precedent: R v Dunn [2010] EWCA Crim 2935.”

They will spend the fifth day looking for work or face losing their jobseekers’ allowance.”

“A new ‘pre-departure accommodation centre’ is expected to open its doors to failed asylum seekers and their children next week. The converted special needs school in Pease Pottage, West Sussex, will house families for up to a week, before they are forcibly removed from the UK. The new facility follows the closure of the family unit of the controversial Yarl’s Wood immigration removal centre, in Bedfordshire. The UK Border Agency (UKBA) insists that the Pease Pottage ‘family-friendly’ accommodation will only be used ‘as a last resort where families resolutely fail to comply [to leave the UK?]’.”
