‘Digitalisation has become an inseparable aspect of delivering public services, inspiring conversations around the impacts of digitalisation on citizens and of what it means for states to transition into being e-governments. Despite these ongoing discussions a largely overlooked topic is the process by which digital public services are designed and delivered in the first place. This is surprising considering that the design process constitutes a significant area of administrative decision-making. It not only has ramifications for those relying on public services as most key decisions on the shape, scope, and substance of digital services rest within that process, but also for administration in an era of digital governance.’

‘As is well known, the group “Palestine Action” has been subject to proscription by the Home Secretary under the Terrorism Act 2000. The Court of Appeal has recently handed down judgment in litigation challenging the designation: Secretary of State for the Home Department v R (Huda Ammori) [2026] EWCA Civ 721. The Divisional Court had found the proscription of Palestine Action to be unlawful. The Court of Appeal has reversed the Divisional Court’s decision, and therefore reinstated the decision of the Home Secretary. Subject to any decision of the Supreme Court, Palestine Action remains a proscribed terrorist organisation.’

‘Following the release of the Report by the National Audit Office (“NAO”) (“the Report”) on royal residences, it has emerged that King Charles pays the rent on properties occupied by his nieces, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. The properties are provided through The Royal Household, thus it is presumed that Charles pays the rent to The Household (although this is not made explicitly clear in the Report). This arrangement has been criticised on the grounds that the princesses do not carry out official royal duties. This blog analyses constitutional aspects of this arrangement, arguing that there are three grounds on which this might be thought to be an improper use of funds.’

‘The quantification and valuation of carried interest (or Carry) is often a contentious issue in financial remedy proceedings. This is because Carry is illiquid, uncertain in value and only realisable at some future (and often unknown) point in time. These factors make it difficult to know the value that should be attributed to it. To complicate matters further, Carry can also be highly valuable if certain criteria are met (or entirely valueless, if those criteria are not met), and, as a result, can often be a key asset in the case.’
