Today's video story: Drone footage captured the devastation of forest fires Pedrogao Grande, Wednesday. The fire was reportedly continuing in other parts of the area earlier on Wednesday, as temperatures continued to remain high. A huge forest fire engulfed Pedrogao Grande on June 18. More than 600 firefighters have battled to extinguish the fires in the municipality. The blaze has so far claimed at least 64 people dead and more than 150 injured.


Focus of the day story:  The failure of a pioneering online court in The Netherlands should not deter efforts to build more ambitious version in England and Wales, the Master of the Rolls has said. In a lecture this month, Sir Terence Etherton laid out for the first time the scale of the ambition behind the proposed ‘Online Solutions Court’, which will be designed to operate largely without lawyers and to dispense with ‘preventive justice’.

Today's video story: A year-long investigation has uncovered evidence that the UK defence giant BAE Systems has made large-scale sales across the Middle East of sophisticated surveillance technology, including to many repressive governments. These sales have also included decryption software which could be used against the UK and its allies. Much of this technology, which is covered by the same international laws as military equipment, has come from a British company. It's an important tool in the fight against terrorism but as Nawal Al Maghafi reports it may have been used by repressive governments to silence dissent and human rights campaigners

19th June - Law News

2002nd 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: Several people have been injured after being hit by a van near Finsbury Park Mosque in north London, early Monday morning. The van reportedly veered off the road into people outside the mosque but it was unclear whether the collision was deliberate. A clean shaven white man has been arrested at the scene.


Focus of the day story: A former wife has successfully challenged a ruling that her ex-husband should get half of the fortune she built up during their marriage. The Court of Appeal heard that both parties earned about £100,000 during their six-year relationship but the wife, a trader, received bonuses worth £10.5m, in Sharp v Sharp [2017] EWCA Civ 408. The couple, in their early 40s with no children, had matrimonial assets of £5.45m at the time of the divorce.  Full story - New Law Journal
