And that’s a wrap! Ten years since the LLB law course started at Royal Holloway, our class of 2025 does us proud. We salute you all dear graduates. The future is brighter with you in it.

What is rarely understood is the knock-on effect crushing the universities will have on the local communities and local economies. All of those places rely on their universities. All cities across the country are in the same boat.

Looking forward to seeing social justice combining with its religious roots again rather than constantly pulling apart. #NewPope

Another key judgment: should doctors involved in withdrawal of treatment from patients to end their lives also be given protection from their names being reported in the media? Yes to a degree but such reporting restrictions may be time limited. supremecourt.uk/uploads/uksc...

Solidarity with both groups today (women and trans women). The Supreme Court judgment reminds us of the sensitivity around the debate of the meaning of ‘woman’ but also the importance of legal clarity. An example of Statutory Interpretation at play.

Supreme Court judgment defining ‘woman’ as biological sex can be found here supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2...

For Women Scotland Ltd (Appellant) v The Scottish Ministers (Respondent) - UK Supreme Court
Is a person with a full gender recognition certificate (“GRC”) which recognises that their gender is female, a “woman” for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010 (“EA 2010”)?

Equality Act 2010 is intended to protect both biological sex (for women) and certificated sex (for trans women) separately and these remain separate groups with separate protection according to the Supreme Court’s judgement today

An interesting example of the complex dilemma of protecting witnesses whilst also ensuring a fair trial for defendants. Cheryl Thomas’ research should alert us to the need for an adjustment to the judge’s warning to the jury to avoid the unintended consequences the use of s.28 CJA 2003 has.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... It is not reform of the planning laws that Labour should be focusing on but a reform of the construction industry so that affordable homes that last are built where they need to be built.
