 Today's Highlighted Video Story: The home secretary has set out plans to change the asylum system so refugees are assessed on how they arrive in the UK. Priti Patel said she wants to crack down on criminal trafficking gangs and ensure that people who arrive through official channels are given priority.  But human rights lawyers have warned that the changes could breach international law and lead to further legal challenges and delays



Focus of the Day Article: Judges could be required to consider imposing a wasted costs order - with a presumption in favour of making one - as part of government plans to end what the Home Office believes to be the practice of 'unmeritorious' immigration and asylum claims brought at the last minute to frustrate the deportation process.

Focus of the Day Article: In Royal Mencap Society v Tomlinson-Blake and John Shannon v Jaikishan and Prithee Rampersad (Trading as Clifton House Residential Home) [2021] UKSC 8, the court held the ‘working time’ did not include time spent asleep for the purposes of the National Minimum Wage Regulations. The care home workers had argued that they had to be available to provide work while asleep, could be woken and have to perform work and were sleeping away from their homes, therefore this should count as ‘working time’.
