There are two kinds of EU laws: regulations and directives.
Regulations have direct effect throughout the EU, which helps harmonize the laws of the Single Market.
Directives instruct the member states to implement their own laws to some effect, which helps adapt the laws to that member state's circumstances.

The Law Commission already does this, including:
repealing legislation that no longer serves any practical purpose
creating consolidation bills, which merge multiple acts (or parts of act) into a single one.

Probably not.
As I understand it, the case is being run in Scotland on the belief that Scottish constitutional law is more likely to allow this claim than English law is. That is why the case is not being run in the High Court of England and Wales.
The case can't start in the Supreme Court because (apart from specific kinds of disputes) the Supreme Court ...

Under the GDPR, consent is not the only legal basis that allows processing of your personal data. Other legal bases such as legitimate interest exist as well. So the question is: does the company have a legitimate interest to send you these emails?
The answer is that this case is more about direct marketing, less about personal data. The circumstances under ...

Article 32 of the GDPR requires companies to adequately secure their data when handling data belonging to EU citizens. This also applies to cross border scenarios where data is transferred between countries.
Technically speaking, the GDPR doesnt set a standard for security: you dont have to encrypt your data, use aes or rsa encryption, or hash and salt ...

Got this resolved. Basically Finland has no rights to tax the income in any way and it does not matter whether the worker resides in an EU country or not. Only thing that needs to be done from the Finnish side is mark it down to income registry. From UK side you just need to jump through the hoops of PAYE scheme.

This might be a more appropriate question for English.SE. However a commonly used term for this is tandem parking. See https://www.lawinsider.com/dictionary/tandem-parking for several citations in legal contexts.

Testing the law means running a case under that law and having a court rule on it.
In common law jurisdictions, the judiciary does not give opinions on whether a bill proposed or an act passed by the legislature is legal or not - they decide controversies that arise under those acts.
The executive is obliged to follow the law so if they do something the ...

I asked this exact question to my criminal law lecturer.
Rape indeed does require penetration of the mouth, anus, or vagina, with a penis. This is indeed a double standard, as this doesn't recognise many forms of female on male sexual assault as rape. (Though aggravated sexual assault may be a suitable charge in those circumstances, many people argue that ...

"Testing the law" is a polite, British way of saying strategically breaking the law in order to bring the issue to court where the merits can be decided in order to establish case law.

In the US, the term "tandem parking" is sufficiently well established so that a document that refers to "tandem parking" is legally clear – in the US. That does not mean that the UK courts will treat such an expression the same way. However, a brief Google survey shows "tandem parking" being used in local regulations, in such a way that matches your apparent ...

I'm assuming that you are locking him inside the house with a responsible adult, rather than locking him in his room alone for a long period of time. The latter would probably be considered neglect or abuse. There is no hard law on exactly what measures parents may take so any case would have to be considered on its merits.
Legally any person under 18 is ...

As you correctly formulated:
UK implements an EU law
which essentially means: It is a directive of the EU.
There are (at least) two kinds of EU laws to be distinguished:
directives have to be implemented, that is written into national law. Member states have to pass these laws.
regulations take effect immediately, without needing to be passed as ...

The court 'lists' of cases will contain at minimum each defendant’s name, age, address, his profession when known and the alleged offence.
In the interests of the principle of 'open justice' and accurate reporting (e.g. distinguishing individuals with similar names) the newspaper is free to publish the defendant's name, address and alleged offences unless ...

The GDPR requires the Data Controller (i.e. your company) to put in place appropriate measures for accountability. These will include appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO) and implementing polices around the processing of personal data.
So you should be able to go to your DPO and ask to see the policies which describe the safeguards for emailing such ...
