Today's video story: From Belfast to Cork to understand what effect Brexit is having on the future of the island. Could Brexit lead way to a united Ireland?


Focus of the day story: The language used, rather than the surrounding circumstances, provides the most important means of interpreting contracts, Lord Sumption has said. The Supreme Court Justice, who is due to retire next year, also bemoaned ‘the belittling of dictionaries and grammar’, while giving the annual Harris Society lecture at Keble College, Oxford, this week. Referring to historic trends of contract interpretation, Lord Sumption offered a polite critique of Lord Hoffmann’s ‘broader approach to construction’, in which the surrounding circumstances are used to modify the effect of language, as in Investors Compensation Scheme Ltd v West Bromwich Building Society [1998] 1 All ER 98.

Today's video story: The Delhi High Court today refused to stop tax investigation against Congress President Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi in what's known as the National Herald Case. At the heart of the case is Associated Journals, publisher of the National Herald, an English daily founded and edited by Jawaharlal Nehru. The Congress argues today's case is merely procedural but the BJP claims it's a huge setback to the Gandhis and the party.


Focus of the day story: Fee income per partner at larger firms soared last year from an average of £777,000 to almost £1.4m, a survey has found. Accountants MHA, who produce an annual benchmarking report, said the main reason was a fall in the number of equity partners at these firms, helped by an increase in profitable work.
