Following last year's Jackson reforms, which were to a large extent focussed on the issue of costs of the civil litigation process, the Ministry of Justice has given consideration to amending its Court Fees.    This took the form of a consultation paper, "Court fees - Proposals for reform". These are the fees Court users need to pay to issue and run claims or to bring interim applications.

The Government has now responded to the first part of this consultation, and has set out a new list of Court Fees which will come into effect on 22 April 2014 (with the exception of the fee changes in the Court of Appeal and Court of Protection, which will be introduced at a later date).  If you are litigating you should expect higher fees from this date.

Meta's $18 Billion Settlement: Reckoning Or Managed Exit?

One-Punch Manslaughter – When A Single Blow Kills (Video)

A split-second decision can change lives forever. In one-punch manslaughter cases, a single impulsive blow, perhaps thrown in anger, fear or misguided bravado, leads to a tragic death. These ‘death by a single punch’ incidents are more common in the UK than many realise. Dozens of families every year are left devastated, with one family grieving an unimaginable loss, and another family shocked and fearful as their loved one faces a homicide investigation for an outcome no one intended. It’s a tragic reality, one moment of anger, one fatal assault involving a single blow, and two lives (and families) ruined.

LNG Charterparty Hire Formula: Meaning Of JKM–TTF Pricing Spread

The Commercial Court ruled on a USD 29 million dispute over an LNG carrier charterparty's index-linked pricing formula, determining whether the "JKM-TTF spread" operated bidirectionally or only when JKM exceeded TTF. The decision examines how unprecedented market conditions—where European gas prices surged above Asian prices due to the Ukraine war—tested the contractual formula's application and whether rectification could remedy an alleged drafting oversight.
