Claimant receiving a defendant's Part 36 offer—checklist This Checklist on receiving a Part 36 offer identifies the key factors that a claimant should consider on receipt of a defendant’s Part 36 offer. Consideration Guidance Further information Relevant period The claimant should calculate the date when the relevant period expires for accepting the defendant’s Part 36 offer, which must be no less than 21 days from when the Part 36 offer was served (CPR 36.5(1)(c)).It is important to note this date because there may be costs consequences for late acceptance of the defendant’s Part 36 offer. There may also be costs consequences if the defendant’s Part 36 offer is not accepted and the claimant fails to obtain a judgment that is more advantageous than the defendant’s Part 36 offer (CPR 36.17(1)(a)). For further information, see Practice Notes: Part 36 offers—how to make a valid Part 36 offer—The relevant period (minimum 21 days) and Part 36 offers—costs consequences of rejection or non-acceptance—Costs consequences—claimant not accepting a defendant's Part 36 offer.

There will also be costs consequences if the claimant’s Part 36 offer is not accepted and the claimant obtains a judgment that is at least as advantageous as their own Part 36 offer (CPR 36.17(1)(b)).

SAR glossary codes and additional reporting routes—flowchart This Flowchart illustrates the most commonly used National Crime Agency (NCA) glossary codes to use when completing a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) via the SAR Portal, and the additional reporting routes you should consider. The full list of SAR Glossary Codes can be found in SAR Glossary Codes and Reporting Routes. Note 1 SARs regime The SARs regime is not intended as a means of reporting crime or matters relating to immediate risks to others. The SARs regime is designed for the purpose of reporting knowledge or suspicions of money laundering or terrorist financing under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA 2002) and the Terrorism Act 2000 (TA 2000). In addition to submitting a SAR to the NCA, you may therefore need to report the matter via other routes, eg where a crime is in progress or there is an immediate risk to a person. We have flagged where this may be appropriate. If possible, you should make these additional reports...
Evaluating a data subject erasure request—flowchart The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) provides a number of rights for data subjects, including providing a right to erasure of personal data, also known as the right to be forgotten. Data subjects can make a request to an organisation to exercise their right to erasure of their personal data 'without undue delay' where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. This is not, however, an absolute right to be forgotten—it is a right to have personal data erased in specific circumstances. There are strict time limits for complying with requests made. See Practice Notes: • Data subject rights—rectification, erasure and restriction of processing • How to handle data subject requests This Flowchart maps out a process for evaluating erasure requests that your organisation receives under the UK GDPR. It reflects the requirements in the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) together with guidance issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). It should be read in...

Convention rights—compatibility of legislation Parliamentary statements of compatibility The Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA 1998) is designed not only to give people a remedy when their rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) have been breached, but also to encourage governments and Parliament to give greater thought during the legislative process to whether an intended piece of legislation will be compatible with Convention rights. HRA 1998, s 19 requires a Minister of the Crown in each House of Parliament, before the second reading of a Bill, to make a statement to the effect that the Bill is compatible with Convention rights (a section 19(1)(a) statement) or, alternatively, (section 19(1)(b)) to the effect that they are unable to make such a statement, but the government wishes Parliament to proceed with the Bill in any event. The form of the statement of compatibility The statement of compatibility must be in writing, but there is no prescribed manner in which the statement must be published. The statement must be...

Spousal and civil partner maintenance—client guide This document provides general guidance regarding an application to the court for maintenance on divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership. Your family lawyer will be able to provide specific advice based on your circumstances. Who can apply for maintenance? Either spouse or civil partner may make an application to the court for a spousal or civil partner maintenance order, also known as a periodical payments order. The person making the application is the applicant and the other person is the respondent. A potential applicant must, except in certain specified circumstances, consider with a mediator whether the dispute may be capable of being resolved through non-court dispute resolution. The court will expect all applicants to have complied with these requirements before commencing proceedings and will expect any respondent to have attended a mediation information and assessment meeting (MIAM). For details of the requirement to attend a MIAM see Practice Note: Non-court dispute resolution—mediation information and assessment meetings (MIAMs). What happens...

What approach is taken by the Motor Insurer's Bureau in relation to limitation and the Uninsured Drivers' Agreement where the victim was a child at the time of the accident and is now an adult? The most recent Uninsured Drivers' Agreement 2015 (the 2015 Agreement) came into force for accidents occurring on or after 1 August 2015. The earlier Uninsured Drivers' Agreement 1999 (the 1999 Agreement) applies to road traffic accidents which occurred between 1 October 1999 and 31 July 2015. Clause 3 of the 1999 Agreement provides that where: '(a) any act or thing is done to or by a solicitor or other person acting on behalf of a claimant, (b) any decision is made by or in respect of a solicitor or other person acting on behalf of a claimant, or (c) any sum is paid to a solicitor or other person acting on behalf of a claimant, then, whatever may be the age or other circumstances affecting the capacity of the claimant, that act, thing, decision or...
A company was liquidated and dissolved in the last few years. Former creditors of the company have put evidence to the liquidator and, as a consequence, the liquidator has now made an application to restore the company in order to investigate the matter further. The former directors would like to get a copy of the liquidator's statement in support of the restoration, but the liquidator felt uncomfortable in providing this. What is the best method of securing disclosure of this? The issue to consider will be generally whether a third party can obtain a copy of a witness statement from the court in respect of live proceedings, and whether there are any restrictions on the applicant in the proceedings regarding disclosing a witness statement to non-parties. The status and use of a witness statement will depend on whether it is a draft witness statement or a final one which has been signed off by the witness. Draft witness statements and affidavits are privileged unless and until privilege is waived....
