FOCUS OF THE DAY: EU judges in Luxembourg could limit key powers in UK surveillance laws just weeks before Britain votes on its EU membership. An emergency hearing on the bulk interception of communications data has been scheduled for 12 April at the European court of justice (ECJ), whose rulings are binding on UK courts. Its final decision could have a decisive impact on the powers of GCHQ, the Cheltenham-based monitoring agency, and could come shortly before Britons decide whether to remain in or leave the EU on 23 June.

FOCUS OF THE DAY: The Law Society has expressed disappointment at a decision by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to reject calls to extend Solicitors Indemnity Fund (SIF) cover by a further three years to 2023. SIF closed in 2000. Currently, however, any firm that has closed since September 2000 without a successor can resort to the SIF for any claim made after the six-year run-off period. This arrangement is due to end in 2020, and the SRA Board has now decided not to grant an extension. Full story - New Law Journal
