In a landmark decision of interest to both #banks & #consumers, the Court of Appeal has decided a relevant #dutyofcare could arise if a customer instructs their bank to make a payment when that customer is the victim of #APPfraud. Read our analysis here: https://t.co/3gfudgbdeg

#Whistleblowing has been squarely in the sights of the FCA recently, with a wider range of potential concerns for disclosure in #financialservices qualifying for newly increased protections. Our employment team reviews the implications of these changes: https://t.co/t1doitXeYC

The #returntotheoffice poses a variety of challenges for businesses. Our #emplaw specialists highlight the key points employers should consider, including meeting #healthandsafety obligations and whether to make vaccinations and employee testing mandatory: https://t.co/x6RL54nDXR

Wow - Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the worldwide web founder, is reported to be selling the original code that he used to make the internet as an #NFT, having previously said that he would not seek a patent over the code.

This is not unexpected- Birmingham is a recognised centre of excellence with the professional services and advisors well established to support such a move

This has to be good. But follow the link ‘digital toolkit’ where it says “It could also be that you wish to report [to the FCA for wrongdoing] a family member or neighbour”. It’s kind of the FCA to ensure family and litigation lawyers aren’t short of work https://t.co/RG1e5mxsHN

Let’s hope this is a big misunderstanding - otherwise it’s a quite terrifying insight into how ‘working from home’ could develop if employers’ behaviour goes unchecked. https://t.co/CgN74Thepg

David Davis in 2016 reassured people who voted for Brexit that their workplace rights were safe. Some simplifications could be helpful for everyone but not if they lead to weaker protections. Let’s see where this goes, the Red Wall will be watching. https://t.co/Fp10L5C8cK

Points to note from the consultation on post employment restrictive covenants - it applies not only to ‘non-competes’ but to all restrictive covenants; it suggests either a ban or compensation; it recognises non-competes can currently last for 12 months. https://t.co/7s8VTFV6q4

[Tom Walker @TomWillWalker]

This is quite a development. I see no harm in restricting pure ‘non-compete’ clauses but how willing will companies be to invest in developing their employees’ contact with clients if any new measures also prohibit post-employment client restrictions? https://t.co/6XTExaNeA3

#Brexit is approaching, and with it the introduction of the FCA’s Temporary Permissions Regime for #financialservices firms. Our finance team sets out the next steps for firms seeking to carry out regulated activities in the UK after Brexit: https://t.co/oCWnXUwy7T

Interesting ideas here, particularly with the lack of internal support whistleblowers face. Not so sure about relieving employees of having to prove their case. We must not encourage the ‘try it on cases’ , they detract from the seriousness of the problem https://t.co/yCwn9zRRgP

Today we caught up in person after nearly 7 months. When the pandemic first hit we quickly had to work together to put a support structure in place for our team and clients, whilst working from home. Today we took time out for a pamper and G&T catch up. #worldmentalhealthday2020
