This appeal concerns the tort of private nuisance (a civil wrong) in the context of a major oil spill. The question at issue is whether there is a continuing private nuisance and hence a continuing cause of action. This is an important question because it affects when the limitation period for the bringing of claims (which in English law for torts is normally six years) starts to run.

The claimants and appellants are two Nigerian citizens. The defendants and respondents are both companies within the Shell group of companies. The Bonga oil field is located approximately 120km off the coast

Hearings in the Supreme Court are now shown live on the Court’s website.

On Wednesday 10^th may the Court will hand-down judgment in Jalla and another v Shell International Trading and Shipping Company and another [2023] UKSC 16. The Court will determine whether pollution caused to land and waterways by an offshore oil spill constitutes a continuing nuisance with fresh causes of action accruing until such time as the oil is cleared up, or it eventually disappears of its own accord, in circumstances where is the event causing the pollution to occur only once?

“We cannot conclude as a matter of law that no reasonable jury could conclude that the defendants gave Oakley a reasonable opportunity to depart, and that they

On Wednesday 3^rd and Thursday 4^th may the Court will hear the case of R (on the application of Imam) v London Borough of Croydon, on appeal from [2022] EWCA Civ 601. The Court will consider when should a mandatory order against a local housing authority be made to enforce a duty owed to a homeless individual under s193(2) of the Housing Act 1996 (the “1996 Act”)? In particular, the court should take account of either: (a) budgetary constraints imposed on the housing authority; or (b) the availability of housing under a non-secured tenancy under Part VII of

Monday night’s Game 7 between the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils featured a bit of controversy as Jacob Trouba delivered another questionable hit, this time on Timo Meier.

AUSTIN, Texas — Crypto regulatory frameworks need to be coordinated internationally but tweaked to meet local differences, legal experts said at a panel during Consensus 2023 here on Friday.

“It’s not good to put crypto all in the same basket and look at it in a vacuum,” said Marianne Bechara, senior counsel at the International Monetary Fund.

Regulators worldwide have been working for several years to determine how best to coordinate international crypto regulation. Earlier this month, the European Parliament approved the European Union’s crypto-assets framework, the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, which some observers have said could form a

US Customs and Border Protection’s (“CBP”) implementation of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (“UFLPA”) remains a work in progress, as importers work to mitigate shipment detentions and respond to UFLPA reviews and enforcement actions. Emerging best practices may guide stakeholders as they navigate these uncertainties.
