‘The case of Alton v PZU S.A. [2024] EWCA Civ 1435 arose out of a road traffic accident on the M20 motorway that occurred on 12 September 2017 and was a claim for damages in respect of personal injury and consequential losses, limited to £13,500. I adopt the past tense because the claim has now in fact been compromised, therefore, the judgment of the Court of Appeal was the final act in this particular drama.’

‘This blogpost revisits the 2011 UK Supreme Court decision in Jivraj v Hashwani [2011] UKSC 40, which adopted a narrow reading of the personal scope of the Equality Act 2010 as it applies to the self-employed. It argues that this decision represented a wrong turn in the law, which should now be reversed by the courts or corrected by the legislature – especially in light of the January 2023 Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) decision in Case C-356/21, TP v JK, and the stated commitment of the newly elected Labour government to “ensuring those [equality] provisions that were previously derived from EU law remain enshrined in UK law”.’

‘When the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 came into force and personal injury claimants could no longer rely upon the various Regulations to establish a cause of action, there was a lot of discussion about what this would mean. Over 10 years later, there has been a surprising lack of authority about any of this. This is now potentially complicated all the more by Brexit.’

‘The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill was due to enter the report stage in the House of Lords on 10 June. It may, among other things, make changes to the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR). I say ‘may’ because just after I wrote this, Rishi Sunak called a general election. However there is still a chance of it passing (see later), so let us for now proceed on this basis.’
