Some import changes to the lockdown regulations in
England have just been made, without warning, by the government. Will try and summarise them in this thread

Amendments here legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/447/…
Explanatory note here legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/447/…
Here are a few slides from my powerpoint from yesterday which I have just updated and will post in full later. These summarise what I think are the key changes
I think the key change which is going to affect everybody is it is no longer just unlawful to *leave* the place you’re living without a reasonable excuse, you now cannot be outside of the place you’re living at all without a reasonable excuse
Also, the changes have slightly brought down the age limit for giving a fixed penalty notice. From over the age of 18 to 18 and over. Badluck 18-year-olds!
Here is my PowerPoint presentation summarising the Regulations which has been updated to include today's changes (in red). Comments welcome drive.google.com/open?id=1UvSxB…
Here is the video of the seminar doughty-street-chambers.newsweaver.com/flyercampaign/…

What Gove says isn't quite right - though I can see why the govt might have considered it safer to use existing public health powers as the Civil Contingencies Act requires that existing legislation *cannot* be relied upon without the risk of serious delay /1
I think there was probably a concern that although it was possible Public health act didn't quite grant the powers which were needed for the lockdown, use of the Civil Contingencies Act could have been criticised because the public health act is designed for this situation! /2
So govt was caught between a rock (Civil Contingencies Act) and a hard place (Public Health Act). But none of that explains why it didn't just use the legislation going through parliament - the Coronavirus Act! Answer may be that no need for new legislation... /3

Truly important @UKSupremeCourt judgment this morning on when it breaches a person's human right not to be inhumanly treated to send them back a state where they will have no access to life-saving medical treatment

Summary supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uks…
Judment supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uks…
There has been a long and very sad series of cases where a person is going to die because they are sent back to a country where they won't be able to access essential medical treatment. This appellant is HIV positive and wouldn't have access to appropriate treatment
Supreme Court confirmed it would follow a recent-ish decision of European Court of Human Rights Grand Chamber which lowered the test from "reached such a critical stage that it would be inhuman to deprive him of the care he was receiving and to send him to an early death"...

Oh dear, another 'clarification'/correction letter from the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office's Sir Simon Macdonald after his appearance before the Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday, this time relating to Harry Dunn /1
This is a transcript of his evidence on the Harry Dunn case. I have highlighted the parts which he has corrected, which is pretty much all of it /2 committees.parliament.uk/download/file/…
He now clarifies (with transcript for comparison):
1. "All parties involved... operate within accepted framework of operational independence of the police it being for them to determine what steps to take in the investigation of criminal offences"
