A significant new Court of Appeal judgment has clarified the relationship between TUPE and vicarious liability.

Supreme Court clarifies the law on part-time worker discrimination claims
The Supreme Court has ruled today in Augustine v Data Cars Limited giving clarity on when part-time workers can claim discrimination.

When trust goes wrong: why choosing your attorney matters as much as making an LPA
A recent court case involving misuse of millions of pounds of family wealth has provided a stark reminder for managing financial affairs: choosing the right person is critical. Daughter Sandra Thomas used her authority under a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) to spend her mother’s money on holidays, cars, luxury meals and personal expenses, viewing the spending as early access to her inheritance from the wealthy widow who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease.
Succession planning for business and agricultural assets: where things stand in 2026
Handing on a family business or a farm is rarely just a financial transaction. It is about protecting something built over years, often generations, while ensuring the people who depend on it are secure and that the tax bill does not force a sale. Recent changes to inheritance tax have made planning more important than it has been for a long time and have made it a much more talked-about topic. This article examines the position in England and Wales.
Coercive Control: What Is It?
Domestic abuse is not always physical. Some of the most damaging forms of abuse leave no bruises and never culminate in a single dramatic incident. They build slowly, over months or years, as one person tightens control over another's daily life. This pattern is known as coercive control, and since 2015 it has been a criminal offence in England and Wales.

Conveyancing searches: what are they, and do you need them?
Buying a property is one of the largest financial commitments most people will make, and much of the work that protects that commitment happens out of sight. Among the least understood parts of the process are "searches". They rarely involve the buyer directly, yet they can determine whether a purchase proceeds, what it costs, and what surprises might lie ahead. This article explains what conveyancing searches are, what they cover, and whether you really need them.
Injury Awareness Week 2026: Supporting Your Right to Compensation
Injury Awareness Week (22–26 June) highlights an issue many people never consider until it affects them personally: the life‑changing impact of being injured through negligence.
