Convention rights—compatibility of legislation

Convention rights—compatibility of legislation Parliamentary statements of compatibility The Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA 1998) is designed not only to give people a remedy when their rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) have been breached, but also to encourage governments and Parliament to give greater thought during the legislative process to whether an intended piece of legislation will be compatible with Convention rights. HRA 1998, s 19 requires a Minister of the Crown in each House of Parliament, before the second reading of a Bill, to make a statement to the effect that the Bill is compatible with Convention rights (a section 19(1)(a) statement) or, alternatively, (section 19(1)(b)) to the effect that they are unable to make such a statement, but the government wishes Parliament to proceed with the Bill in any event. The form of the statement of compatibility The statement of compatibility must be in writing, but there is no prescribed manner in which the statement must be published. The statement must be...

What details should a company record in the PSC register?

What details should a company record in the PSC register? A company’s people with significant control (PSC) register must never be empty. The company must, using the prescribed wording, update its register as regards any general circumstances or investigative steps that it is currently engaged in. This may be as simple as confirming that there are no registrable PSCs or RLEs in relation to the company. It is therefore likely that any register should have an open section in which to record such information. Once a particular PSC or RLE comes forward or is otherwise identified (or being actively investigated), it would seem appropriate to open up a ledger or account against that individual or entity's name. Information required under CA 2006, s 790K can then be entered accordingly, as can any other official wording as to the investigation or enforcement process in relation to that individual or entity: • Required particulars (including type of control): ◦ PSCs: name, date of birth, nationality, country or...

Can a Spanish national, who is habitually resident in England and owns land in Spain but with the majority of their estate in England, include an election in their Will under the EU Succession Regulation for the law of England and Wales to apply to the succession of their worldwide estate on their death? If so, would this avoid the forced heirship regime in Spain?

Can a Spanish national, who is habitually resident in England and owns land in Spain but with the majority of their estate in England, include an election in their Will under the EU Succession Regulation for the law of England and Wales to apply to the succession of their worldwide estate on their death? If so, would this avoid the forced heirship regime in Spain? We refer you to the following Practice Notes: Will drafting—applying the EU Succession Regulation and Case study—cross-border estate involving the EU Succession Regulation and French real property, which outline the default position under Article 21 of Regulation (EU) No 650/2012 (EU Succession Regulation) that the law of the state in which the deceased died habitually resident applies to succession matters unless the deceased was manifestly more closely connected with another state. Article 22 of the EU Succession Regulation provides that a person can choose the law of any nationality that they have at the time of making the choice or at the time...

New Bill clause added to extend right to work scheme to ‘gig economy’ workers

The government has added a new clause to the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, which would extend the application of the existing right to work scheme to cover alternative working arrangements that have previously fallen outside its scope. Currently, the statutory framework under the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 requires right to work checks only for individuals engaged as employees under conventional contracts, if the employer is to obtain a statutory excuse against a civil penalty where a worker is subsequently found to lack the requisite immigration permission. The new clause would extend the need for checks to employers and businesses which engage individuals to undertake work for third parties through non-traditional contracting methods: those operating under a worker’s contract, as individual subcontractors, and through online matching platforms. This measure would effectively broaden the remit of the existing checks to catch forms of engagement prevalent in the gig economy, where many workers are self-employed or operate under casual, zero-hours, or temporary arrangements.
