While @Greendrake is generally correct that GDPR-like standards (via the Data Protection Act (2018)) will continue to apply to personal data of UK citizens/residents that are controlled or processed in the UK, there is a substantial question about whether the UK will be considered a "safe" jurisdiction for the purposes of the GDPR.
This means that after ...

Sharia law is not recognised in the UK, but if the marriage is legal in Pakistan it will be considered legal in the UK.
In most Muslim countries, it is against the law to have a religious

In the UK, if you're in a regulated sector e.g. financial services or health services, there are obligations relating to complaints handling. E.g. the Financial Conduct Authority sets out complaints handling rules in DISP 1.3.
The FCA says a complaint is:

or not, from, or on behalf of,...

Not before the transition period ends (31 December 2020):
During this period, the UK will remain in both the EU customs union
and single market.
That means, until the transition ends, most things will stay the same.
This includes:
Travelling to and from the EU (including the rules around driving
licences and pet passports)
Freedom of ...

As of 23:00 GMT on 31 January 2020, the UK is no longer a member of the European Union.
But there is a 'transition period' or 'implementation period' until 31 December 2020. During this period the UK is 'in' the EU single market and customs union.
For practical purposes it is 'in' the EEA until 31 December 2020.
By the way, Switzerland is not a member of ...

As Greendrake says you can ask the court for material.
You may also search BAILII for High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court judgments. They mention the arguments and evidence heard by the court.

You have a phone?
Film them, openly and obviously. It might get them to stop but even if it doesn't you have evidence to send to the police and you can, of course, post it to social media.
Obviously, don't do this if it would jeopardize your physical safety.
Arrest
Basically, no.
You are entitled to arrest someone who is (or you reasonably suspect is) ...

In addition, if you want to stay in the U.K. beyond Jan 2021, you will have to apply for “pre-settled” status which allows you to remain with short interruptions, and you can change this to “settled status” after being in the U.K. for five years, which allows you to leave and return within five years.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the U.K. enforced freedom-of-...

Although the UK has formally exited the European Union, it is in a 'transition' or 'implentation' period until 31 December 2020. During this period, the UK remains in the single market and customs union and such rules continue to apply as they did while the UK was an EU member state.
If you are in any doubt, you should contact your passport authority and ...

In the UK, there is no lower limit on a threshold on “theft by finding”, and indeed in a recent case in the UK a woman ended up with a criminal record and a conditional discharge for not handing in £20 she found on the floor.
The general advice for the UK tends to be to either hand it in immediately - either at a police station, or if you found it within an ...
