On appeal from: [2021] EWCA Civ 535

The Appellant (“SIB”) is a company incorporated in Antigua and Barbuda that went into liquidation in 2009. Most of SIB’s business was selling investment products to international customers.

By: Kartik Sharma

The creation of the independent Indian state was an unprecedented event in history. This nascent nation had to be steered through the vagaries of threatening forces. A transformative vision encompassing a unique version of federalism was instituted as the basis of our Constitution. The Union Government was vested with powers to form, divide, and reorganize states as per the ever-changing needs under Article 3 of the Constitution. As a consequence of this, several states were reorganized and new states came into existence throughout post-independence history.

The most striking aspect of Article 3 is the non-requirement of the

Companies That Use Noncompetites Face Increased Risk of Government Action Following FTC’s Unilateral Expansion of Its Enforcement Powers

Maybe we were wrong. Or perhaps we were just not thinking creatively enough. After President Biden issued his “Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy,” in which he “encourage[d]” the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to “consider” exercising its statutory rulemaking authority “to curtail the unfair use of non-compete clauses and other clauses or agreements that may unfairly limit worker mobility,” we assumed that Lina Khan, the 33- year-old Biden-appointed Chair of the FTC (and a vocal opponent of non-competes), would take the torch and propose a Rule prohibiting, or at the very least severely limiting, the use of …

The Idaho murders case is getting murkier, but patience is of the essence

It has been more than 50 days since four students at the University of Idaho were found fatally stabbed inside a house. Two of the victims, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle, were 20 years old; the other two, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, were 21. For weeks, bits of information surfaced piecemeal; two of the victims had gone to a bar, then to a food truck, prior to their deaths. Investigators said they believed the attack had been targeted, but were unable to say whether “the target was the residence or its occupants.”

For weeks, the public scratched their heads.
