MP (A Child; Habitual Residence), Re

As at the date of issue of the father's Children Act proceedings (29 July 2025), MP was habitually resident in Country B. The court found that MP's presence in England was always contingent on not exceeding 120 days per year due to tax residency, that his integration and lived experience in Country B (especially with his mother) outweighed the factors supporting habitual residence in England, and that recent experiences and connections in Country B were more immediate and substantial. Accordingly, the courts of Country B have primary jurisdiction over matters of parental responsibility for MP…

Private international law

Westbase Technology Limited v Vuzix Corporation & Ors

The court found a good arguable case that an oral contract exists and that England is the appropriate forum, but the tort claims do not meet the serious issue to be tried threshold. The Permission Order is upheld for the contract claim but varied to exclude tort claims. No deliberate failure in full and frank disclosure was found, so the Permission Order is not set aside in full.

  • Jurisdiction
  • Service out of jurisdiction
  • Choice of law
  • Forum conveniens
  • Breach of contract
  • Negligent misrepresentation

Data protection

Bruce Chadwick v The Information Commissioner

The Tribunal lacks jurisdiction because the complaint concerns processing under the Data Protection Act 1998, not the DPA 2018 or UK GDPR, and section 166 DPA 2018 does not confer jurisdiction for such complaints. Even if jurisdiction existed, the Information Commissioner provided an outcome to the complaint and complied with all procedural requirements, leaving no further appropriate steps to be ordered. The Tribunal cannot review the merits or substantive outcome of the complaint.

  • Jurisdiction
  • Procedural requirements under data protection act 2018
  • Section 166 dpa 2018
  • Retention of personal data
