1962nd 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 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.

Today's video story: FIFA postpones decision on Israeli settlement clubs. The fate of six Israeli football clubs based in illegal settlements will remain unclear for several more months.

Focus of the day story: Companies can no longer assume that private documents, including interview records used for internal investigations, will be protected after a High Court ruling this week, lawyers have claimed. In a judgment handed down on Monday, on which reporting restrictions were lifted yesterday, Mrs Justice Andrews favoured the Serious Fraud Office in its bid to obtain documents held by mining company Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC). The ruling means internal documents relating to criminal investigations could now be used to assist prosecutions. Full story - The Law Society Gazette
