Today's video story: Five weeks after their election trek began, John Harris and John Domokos travel through England and Wales and watch Jeremy Corbyn in action, as they try to answer the crucial questions: is the Labour surge real? Has Theresa May’s campaign crumpled? And where is the country heading next?
 

Focus of the day story: A High Court judge has served notice on solicitors to ensure they meet litigation deadlines by serving a default judgment against a party that failed to explain delays. The Honourable Mr Justice Coulson said it was incumbent upon solicitors seeking relief from sanctions to explain why a proffered date could not be met. Full story - The Law Society Gazette

1989th Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based news & legal articles archive focusing on Law, Lawyers, Law Firms, Justice, Legislation, Legal Ethics, Human Rights & Social Justice issues.

Today's video story: The Middle East has descended into a huge diplomatic row. Four Gulf countries: Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE have severed diplomatic ties with Qatar. While Saudi Arabia and Bahrain have also closed their borders with the country. They accuse Doha of supporting terrorism and interfering in the internal affairs of Arab states.
 

Focus of the day story: The Guardian view on Theresa May’s plans on terror: they are wrong - Mrs May wants us to believe that we face a threat from doctrines that do not espouse violence but somehow mutate into terror. Confusing extremism with terrorism risks dividing us as a people when we need to be united. Full story - Guardian Law

5th June - Law News

1988th Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based news & legal articles archive focusing on Law, Lawyers, Law Firms, Justice, Legislation, Legal Ethics, Human Rights & Social Justice issues.

Today's video story: In an attack on Theresa May, Labour leader Mr Corbyn said "you cannot protect the public on the cheap" and called for the police and security services to "get the resources they need, not 20,000 police cuts." "Theresa May was warned by the Police Federation but she accused them of crying wolf”, he added.
 

Focus of the day story: About £10.3m was paid out from the Compensation Fund last year to clients of solicitors who misappropriated their money or otherwise behaved badly. The Compensation Fund, which is run by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) on a discretionary basis, pays grants to members of the public, charities and small businesses that have suffered hardship through the wrongful actions of their solicitors, for example, when solicitors steal or misappropriate client money.

Today's video story: Llyr grew up in Wales as a farmer's son in a close knit community and is transgender.
