“If lawyers had followed the norm of no execution without trial, if doctors had accepted the rule of no surgery without consent, if businessmen had endorsed the prohibition of slavery, if bureaucrats had refused to handle paperwork involving murder, then the Nazi regime would have been much harder pressed to carry out the atrocities by which we remember it.”

Announcing the #publication of my chapter on this past year's developments in #art and #culturalproperty #law in #Israel, in the 2024 edition of Lexology's annual In-Depth: Art Law.

It's not the law that's failing.
It's the politicians refusing to abide and by maintain that law.

“Activists have been pushing hard for the legislation. Over the last few weeks scores have occupied rooms in the capitol, and about twenty people, a great many of them elder members of Third Act, have been arrested for trespassing around the state Xmas tree—they’ve been singing carols as the cuffs go on. (Campaigners also won a big victory in Albany last week, when Hochul signed a bill that should prevent backdoor attempts at overturning the state’s fracking ban).”

So the solicitor who tried to silence Dan Neidle's revelations about Nadhim Zahawi's tax affairs, when Neidle accused Zahawi of lying about them (which subsequently was proved to be correct, he was lying about them) has been fined by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (finally).

However given the solicitor in question & his firm are from contrite & believe his threats did not break any laws or breach professional standards, I'm sure we'll see it all done again!

Post Office buckpassing getting faster

It is interesting that Fujitsu are claiming that they did tell the PO about their ‘problems’ in the closing statements but kept shtum about it when evidence was being given. Not that I just any of the lying bar stewards to have been telling the truth, or at least anything they could get away with keeping quiet about.

To be fair to Tanya Plibersek, she did come to an agreement with the Greens on more effective environmental law reform that would’ve passed in the Senate. It was blocked by politicians scared of #fossilfuels politicians.

As environmental law currently exists, she doesn’t have a legal basis to refuse the approval. #environment #law

“The Supreme Court yesterday rejected the broadband industry's challenge to a New York law that requires Internet providers to offer $15- or $20-per-month service to people with low incomes.”

Big cable fighting this feels like folks who fight free school lunches for low income kids.

Greetings and good evening! I need help down here in #Georgia. My #trans (adult) child is trying to change their name, and we aren't sure whether the #petition needs to be #notarized or not. The clerk won't answer any questions. The form itself doesn't appear to have space for a notary stamp. Can anyone with #legal knowledge or who has done a #NameChange here let us know? We really don't want to have to re-file after January 😬 thank you!! #askFedi #fediHelp #law #lawyer #question :boost_ok:
