An article by Nick Wrightson, a partner in Kingsley Napley’s specialist public law team, is now available on our website. In this article, entitled ‘Who makes UK law?’ Nick discusses the need for greater oversight of, and tighter control over, delegated legislation.

Ahead of the Kings Speech tomorrow, Labour has promised to introduce a ‘Hillsborough Law’ which will place a legal duty of candour on public servants and authorities. This idea originated from the Review of the Hillsborough disaster conducted by Bishop James Jones in 2017. However, it is all too easy to overlook the implications of this new legislation from just four lines of a manifesto. In his latest blog, Lord Carter of Haslemere (a consultant to Kingsley Napley) analyses the reasons why this new law is being introduced, and why it might make a significant difference, depending on whether there are effective sanctions and the extent to which these are enforced.

Exactly a year on from hearing a ground-breaking challenge on “downstream” emissions, the Supreme Court has handed down its judgment in R(Finch) v Surrey County Council and ors this morning. By a three-to-two majority (https://lnkd.in/ezhaTYxu), the Supreme Court allowed the appeal of a local resident (Sarah Finch on behalf of the Weald Action Group) and concluded that Surrey County Council’s decision to grant planning permission for a project to expand oil production from a well site near Horley was unlawful because it failed to assess the effect of the combustion of oil produced from the proposed well site (the “downstream” emissions), and in particular, the inevitable greenhouse gas emissions that will arise. A press summary of the judgment can be found here: https://lnkd.in/ecpSBHvY More analysis to follow from Public Law | Kingsley Napley , but this judgment is likely to have considerable ramifications – this challenge was seen by many environmental activists and lawyers as a ‘gateway’ challenge.

Two weeks ago the Rwanda Bill became law, allowing the government to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. In this essay published in the New Law Journal, our expert Consultant Lord Carter of Haslemere explores the challenges underlying this complex issue, and says that “It is possible that the Strasbourg Court would give a ‘Rule 39 indication’… Successive UK governments have taken the view that as a matter of policy the Government will always comply with a Rule 39 indication where they are able to do so… “In the Rwanda context, and in a General Election year, there would be political pressure from certain corners not to comply with a Rule 39. Whatever the government’s decision, if it comes to that, the thorny debate about the UK’s continued membership of the ECHR will intensify. This is where the real battleground will lie in the months ahead.” You can read the full article here https://lnkd.in/eNcDfJkb
