‘All Saints Spring Park Parochial Church Council v Church Commissioners [2024] UKPC 23 was an appeal by the PCC and the incumbent of All Saints Spring Park under the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council against a scheme made by the Church Commissioners under the Measure. An episcopal visitation in 2016 had concluded that the parish was not financially viable [5], and the Commissioners made a scheme under the Measure to dissolve the parish and divide its area between the neighbouring parishes of St John Shirley and St George Shirley. The incumbent, Revd Yvonne Clarke – who was the first black woman to be ordained deacon in the Church of England and one of the first women to be ordained priest [3] – and the Parochial Church Council had made written representations on the proposal, but the Bishop of Southwark duly approved the scheme in June 2020.’

‘This article is the first to demonstrate how the United Nations Universal Periodic Review (UPR) recommendations can be used in UK domestic law and courts. The UPR is a cyclical review of UN member states’ human rights obligations. It is unique because it involves states (rather than judges or experts) scrutinising and making recommendations to one another on how they can improve human rights on the ground. These recommendations are then subject to a process of follow-up in the subsequent review, which will occur four to five years later when the state can then be scrutinised about their implementation of recommendations made in the previous cycle. The UPR was set up as an international political process, and as a consequence legal practitioners may be unaware of the UPR, or at least unfamiliar with its relevance to their work. Indeed, it has almost never featured in reported case law in England and Wales.’

‘With an election taking place during the Euros, it is almost too tempting to describe the Labour Party as running towards an open goal. A new government is almost seen as inevitable, with the real question being the size of its majority. Yet it remains unclear whether this change will embolden much-needed reform to the criminal justice system. For any future Justice Secretary, addressing the plight of those serving sentences of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) must be at the top of their to-do list.’
