Checklist for neurodiverse clients What is neurodiversity? It is an umbrella term for conditions such as ADHD, autism spectrum, dyscalculia, dyslexia and dyspraxia which affect the way that a person interacts with the world. Sensory issues can be overwhelming for people with these conditions. However, they are often incredibly intelligent provided they can work in the way that best suits their brain. The world is moving to a position where it is not a case of those individuals who are neurodiverse adapting to fit into the world but the world adapting so they can engage with these members of society.

Remedies for breach of restrictive covenants This Practice Note explains when damages for breach of restrictive covenants might be awarded in lieu of an injunction, how damages are assessed and what happens if the beneficiary delays in claiming for the breach.

In Shelfer v City of London Electric Lighting, the court confirmed the 鈥榳orking rule鈥 for awarding damages instead of an injunction was if: 鈥 injury to the claimant's legal rights is small 鈥 the injury is...

However the court does have a discretion in certain circumstances to award damages in successful claims, which it will only exercise where it is just and appropriate to do so.

It includes a checklist summarising the key considerations for defending a damages claim in judicial review proceedings. Jurisdiction to make a monetary award in an application for judicial review Senior Courts Act 1981 The judicial review procedure does not create any new right or remedy in damages.
