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.

A recent Court of Appeal ruling in Geeks Ltd v Watts has significant implications for employers who use training repayment clauses in employment contracts. The case examined whether requiring an employee to repay £8,108 in training costs after just eight months of employment constituted an unlawful restraint of trade, raising important questions about the enforceability of such provisions and what makes them legally defensible.
