‘Energy is key to our climate goals, our economy and our everyday lives: from the electricity that is now powering your laptop, the stove that cooks your food, to the energy used by the factory that has produced your shoes. Energy prices in the UK rose dramatically between 2021 and 2023, increasing the strain on household-level and public costs.’

‘The Supreme Court in Manchester Ship Canal (No.2) [2024] UKSC 22 has decided that a riparian owner will have a right of action in private nuisance against a water company for discharge of foul water, without needing to show the water company’s negligence or deliberate misconduct. This is a substantial clarification of Marcic v Thames Water Utilities Ltd [2003] UKHL 66, which (it was thought) decided that such claims were barred against sewerage undertakers by the existence of the statutory scheme following privatisation. This decision may mark the beginning of group litigation against sewerage undertakers for discharging untreated sewage into rivers and canals.’
