1. 📣BREAKING NEWS: VICTORY FOR RULE OF LAW

The High Court has found the Home Secretary acted outside of her powers when she used a Statutory Instrument to redefine the meaning of ‘serious disruption’, giving police more scope to restrict protest and assembly. Image 2. The Court made a suspended quashing order. This ruling is a victory for the #RuleofLaw, #ParliamentaryDemocracy and #Rights.

Present and future Governments should pay heed & commit to respecting our rights and constitution.

BREAKING 🚨

Yesterday, the Home Office made an important change to the Immigration Rules.

So our client, a former partner of a European national whose relationship broke down due to domestic abuse, will now be able to apply for indefinite leave to remain & access to benefits. Image Our client was previously unable to apply because she had been in the UK on the basis of EU law free movement rights.

Until yesterday, partners in the UK with pre-settled status were excluded from accessing important mechanisms to support those leaving abusive situations.

Our final panel of the day is underway on #RetainedEULaw, investigating what it means, what its key provisions are, and how it might impact British law if it goes forward.

With @GeorgePeretzKC, @RuthFox01, @Zahra_AlRikabi, @JMPSimor, and Professor Alison Young

#EUlaw Image "Ministers have been given powers to replace #EUlaw - these powers are frankly astonishing. EU law goes through a #democraticprocess.

"The Bill hands ministers power to replace this law without any democratic process"

@JMPSimor, @matrixchambers on the deeply flawed #REULBill

📣GOOD NEWS:

1. A High Court declaration this week underlines that Cardiff Council must consider prosecuting landlords who unlawfully evict their tenants & that their failure to prosecute anyone in 10 years was a systemic failure.

How did this happen?🧵👇 2. In early 2022, our client spent a week with a friend to recover from an illness. On return to his rented flat, he found his landlord had changed the locks.
