A win for nature as the Nature Restoration Law passes EU Parliament! The law contains binding targets for member states to restore at least 30% of degraded habitats by 2030, 60% by 2040 and 90% by 2050. The legal system can be powerful mechanism for nature's restoration, as we've shown through our Forest Litigation Collaborative and Rewilding Law projects, so we're delighted to see this law has been passed. https://lnkd.in/eeQVHb6Z

Rachel Rothwell: CJC Review’s Recommendations Expected to be ‘Considered, Comprehensive and Workable’ An opinion piece in the latest edition of The Law Society Gazette magazine sees Rachel Rothwell explore the question of whether litigation funders should be worried about the upcoming Civil Justice Council (CJC) review of third-party funding in the UK. As Rothwell points out in her introduction, the CJC review is unlikely to see the prolonged timelines of similar reviews we have seen abroad, as the CJC has been tasked to deliver its final report by the summer of 2025. She also suggests that the CJC “will not be starting from scratch”, given that one of the working group’s members, Mrs Justice Cockerill, has a pre-existing involvement in an ongoing research project looking at this topic for the European Law Institute (ELI). https://lnkd.in/eT9a9SuS #litigationfunding #litigationfinance #litfin #legalfunding #legalfinance #regulatory

When a multibillion dollar gas company hires a multibillion dollar U.S. law firm to relentlessly pursue Australian environmental charities through the courts, we have to ask what is really going on. This piece by Human Rights Law Centre provides some sobering commentary on what is occurring right now in the Federal Court. As a profession, now is the time for Australian lawyers to seriously consider how we can best protect public interest litigation and public participation from the harmful chilling effects of US-style litigation tactics like those we are witnessing now. #AntiSLAPPlawsnow #LawReform #SLAPPs

Join Western Law for the 2024 Coxford Lecture featuring Professor John Borrows, Loveland Chair in Indigenous Law at the University of Toronto. Professor Borrows' lecture will focus on Indigenous Law and the More-than-Human World. Date: Monday, March 11, 2024 Time: 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm Location: Josephine Spencer Niblett Law Building (LB), Room 38 Indigenous law partially flows from the land, and it is a vital resource for strengthening the rule of law more generally in Canada. While humans are a proximate and immediate source of Anishinaabe law, there are also broader forces influencing our legal agency. This talk considers how the air, water, first, rocks, plants, insects, fish, birds, animals, and other more-than-human forces are key participants in Anishinaabe law. This talk will first consider Anishinaabe law’s more-than-human sources by discussing treaties in the early 1760s. Second, it examines how Anishinaabe creation and clan stories place more-than-humans at the heart of Anishinaabe constitutionalism. Third, it discusses how Anishinaabe law can be learned and practiced in ways which build systems and frameworks which could draw us closer to the more-than-human world. A consideration of the relevance of Canadian constitutionalism will conclude Professor Borrows' discussion.
