Straus, Case No. 25-cv-12743-JKS-MAH—filed in support of his summary judgment motion. The court found the New Jersey Pleadings were already publicly available via PACER and the RECAP Archive since their filing in July and October 2025, and that Lugo failed to demonstrate the information was maintained confidentially or was not otherwise publicly available. The motion is denied without prejudice.

The Information Commissioner's Office issued a decision notice regarding a Freedom of Information request for any email address directly accessed by or assigned to the Cabinet Secretary. The Cabinet Office initially withheld the information citing section 40(2) (personal data) of FOIA, and during the ICO's investigation also cited section 36(2)(c) (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs). The ICO determined that the Cabinet Office correctly relied on section 36(2)(c) to withhold the requested information, upholding the exemption. This decision clarifies the application of the prejudice-based exemption for executive communications.

Home Office FOIA Section 35 Exemption Upheld, Section 10 Breach

The ICO has upheld the Home Office's reliance on section 35(1)(a) of FOIA to withhold information about the organisation Palestinian Action, finding that the formulation or development of government policy exemption is engaged and the balance of public interest favours maintaining it.

No further steps are required of the Home Office as a result of this decision notice.

Carbon Pricing and Inflation Expectations

Researchers Michael D. Bauer, Diego R. Känzig, and Glenn D. Rudebusch published a study examining the relationship between carbon pricing in the European Emissions Trading System and inflation expectations. Using high-frequency event studies based on regulatory news, the authors found that carbon price surprises generate significant increases in energy futures prices and inflation expectations across short- and long-term horizons, including effects persisting a decade ahead. The study found that forward-looking nominal interest rates show no meaningful response to carbon policy shocks, suggesting investors do not anticipate the European Central Bank will counteract the inflationary effects of higher carbon prices. These findings contrast with previous literature that generally found only small or short-lived effects on inflation expectations.

DPH Launches New Complaint Portal for Licensed Health Care Facilities

Tooley v. Publishers – Two Defamation Judgments by Steyn J on Interim Injunctions

The Transparency Project reports two new judgments by Mrs Justice Steyn in Cynthia Niruka Tooley's ongoing defamation proceedings against newspaper publishers. In Tooley v Times Media Ltd [2026] EWHC 675 (KB), Steyn J refused an interim injunction to take down a Times article published on 8 February 2025, partly because the same information had been publicly available in a family court judgment by DJ Nutley published in March 2025, and Ms Tooley had waited nearly a year to apply for the injunction. In Tooley v Associated Newspapers Ltd & Anor [2026] EWHC 683 (KB), the case against the Telegraph was allowed to proceed while claims against the Daily Mail were dismissed, and Ms Tooley's applications for journalists to disclose their sources were refused in both cases.

B&L Solicitors v Niazi - Defamation (Employee Online Reviews)

A Deputy High Court judge has ruled that three one-star online reviews posted by former employee Shanaz Niazi accusing B&L Solicitors and its owner Elaine Liddle of dishonesty and incompetence were defamatory at common law. The judgment in TWH Legal Services Limited T/A B&L Solicitors & Anor v Shanaz & Anor addresses preliminary issues including the meaning and defamatory nature of the reviews. The judge found that allegations impugning a professional person's honesty, integrity and professionalism are plainly likely to lower their estimation in the eyes of others and to have a substantial adverse effect on how they are treated by other people.

Charedi Children v Secretary of State for Education - School Meals Policy Equality Challenge [2026] EWHC 741

Three Charedi Jewish children (their parents acting as litigation friends) challenged the Department for Education's Universal Infant Free School Meals policy before the High Court. The claimants argued the policy was discriminatory on religious grounds, breached the Public Sector Equality Duty, and irrationally failed to account for their position. All three grounds of challenge were dismissed. The court held that deprivation is not itself an aspect of race or religion and that parents choosing private education can be treated differently from those without that choice.

Force Majeure Analysis for Middle East Conflict Under English Law

Pinsent Masons has published guidance on how English law-governed supply contracts may be affected by force majeure claims arising from Middle East conflict disruption to global supply chains. The analysis clarifies that a force majeure clause will only excuse non-performance if the specific wording covers the event, the event caused the inability or delay, circumstances were beyond the party's control, and no reasonable steps including alternatives at higher cost could have been taken. Mere cost increases or reduced profitability do not constitute grounds for relief.

Community Sentences Need Investment, Magistrates' Association Says

The Magistrates' Association has published a position statement with 14 recommendations warning that the government's planned criminal justice reforms will fail without proper investment in community sentences. National chair David Ford is quoted saying members report patchy availability, quality and use of community sentence orders, with insufficient trained probation staff causing offenders to wait months for unpaid work or treatment requirements to begin. The statement calls for fully funding and rebuilding probation capacity, accessible real-time data on programme availability, and clarifying judicial discretion over short custodial sentences.

AP v TP – Pension Sharing Order Enforcement When Reluctant Member Avoids Providing Information

In AP v TP [2025] EWFC 190 (B), the Family Court addressed a wife's persistent failure to provide information to Aviva to implement a pension sharing order made in her favour for 48.94% of her husband's pension (approximately £193,000). The court set aside the pension sharing order under the Thwaite jurisdiction, giving the wife 28 days to comply or lose the pension credit entirely. The case reviews alternative solutions including varying the order to 0%, converting to a pension attachment order, and the trustees' default option under the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999.

No Cash Distribution Announced; Whistleblower Retaliation Suit to Proceed Against PCEC

Pacific Coast Oil Trust (OTC-ROYTL) announced no cash distribution for March 2026, citing insufficient net profits from January 2026 operations to cover administrative expenses and outstanding debt to sponsor PCEC. A federal whistleblower retaliation lawsuit—Brendan Potyondy v. Pacific Coast Energy Company, LP—filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California will proceed after the Court denied PCEC's motion to dismiss in its entirety on April 11, 2025. The plaintiff alleges PCEC provided false data to the Trustee and the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm regarding operations, including asset retirement obligations calculations, and had filed complaints with the SEC, OSHA, and state agencies. PCEC maintains the allegations are without merit and will defend against them.

CPRA Data Broker Definition Excludes CCPA-Compliant Entities Under Section 1798.145(a)(3)

Mintz attorneys analyzed the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) data broker definition and its interaction with existing CCPA exemptions. CPRA's definition of 'data broker' explicitly excludes businesses already exempt under CCPA § 1798.145(a)(3) (right-to-know exemption), meaning entities that were not required to honor deletion requests under CCPA are also not classified as data brokers under CPRA. The analysis confirms that CPRA does not create new substantive obligations for companies already compliant with CCPA's existing exemptions.

Open Justice Principle in the Court of Protection

The Transparency Project reported on a Court of Appeal hearing in Re Gardner, where Lord Justice Peter Jackson confirmed that the Open Justice Principle applies everywhere, to the extent appropriate, rejecting the argument that it does not apply to the Court of Protection. The appeal challenged Mr Justice Poole's July 2025 order requiring four position statements to be shared with observer Professor Celia Kitzinger of the Open Justice Court of Protection Project. The Court of Appeal may provide interim guidance while the CoP Procedure Rule Committee develops workable transparency order guidance for observers and parties.

Magistrates' Court Backlog Reaches Record 379,437 Cases, Up 17%

The Bar Council has warned the government against its plans to push cases into the magistrates' courts as new Ministry of Justice data shows the backlog has reached a record 379,437 cases, a 17% increase on the previous year and 70% higher than the same period in 2019. Under government proposals, magistrates' sentencing powers would increase, which the Institute for Government estimates would create a 10–15% increase in demand on the magistrates' court. Bar Council Chair Kirsty Brimelow KC called the plan 'high risk for highly uncertain benefit' and urged the government to reopen closed courts and resource judges and barristers to tackle delays.

MoJ Relaxes Remote Consultation and Office Hour Rules for Civil Legal Aid Providers

The Ministry of Justice announced it will remove the 50% cap on remote attendance for civil legal aid applications and replace contractual office location and opening-hours requirements with a more flexible, client-needs-based framework.

The changes follow a 2025 Review of Civil Legal Aid and a consultation in which a majority of respondents supported removing or reducing remote-work limits. The Legal Aid Agency will launch a contract consultation on the changes imminently.

Barrister Self-Reports to BSB After Citing AI-Generated Fake Cases in Court

An unregistered barrister, Layla Parsons, self-reported to the Bar Standards Board (BSB) after citing four AI-generated (hallucinated) cases in skeleton arguments submitted to Bournemouth Family Court. Despite her self-report and withdrawal of the applications, Recorder Howard named her in his ruling, finding she did not properly acknowledge the seriousness of misleading the court. The judge found a risk she would continue offering legal services to members of the public, with evidence she had previously sold legal support documents through an unnamed website.
