Almost half of the population of the United Kingdom receives one or more well-being benefits, making it the single largest area of government spending. The law and architecture of social security are extremely complicated, which is exacerbated by frequent changes as the government pursues its frequently contradictory economic, political, and social policy goals. This level of complexity has been shown to be extremely tough.
It leads to erroneous decision-making and increased administrative costs, and it is perceived as disempowering for citizens, eroding citizens' enjoyment of a major social right. Both the current and prior administrations have worked hard to make the benefits system more accessible. It is a specific goal of the Welfare Reform Act of 2012, which allows for the creation of Universal Credit as a replacement for various benefits.
However, it is unclear whether the revamped system would be more lawfully complex or more accessible to citizens.
In London, there are a great number of business corporate lawyers in London who attempt to simplify the complexities of UK commercial law.
The City of London's top-rated commercial law companies are regarded as some of the greatest legal practises in the world, as well as some of the most expensive legal service providers. They are, however, among the least transparent, particularly when it comes to pricing: while they publish annual figures on their firm's performance, from turnover to profit per partner, they do not publish information on the hourly rates charged to their clients.
The recent English case in Wright v Lewis Silk in [2016] EWCA Civil1308 is also interesting in terms of jurisdiction clauses. Mr. Wright's lawyers failed to add a jurisdiction clause in a contract with an Indian employer in that instance. When a disagreement arose, jurisdiction was contested, and by the time it was decided and a judgement was handed down, the other parties seemed to be bankrupt. Mr Wright then decided to file a lawsuit against his lawyers. The solicitors' firm was found liable in the High Court for the costs of various motions challenging jurisdiction, as well as the loss of the potential to recover damages due to the delay in gaining judgement. The first example of loss of opportunity identified on appeal was overturned on grounds of remoteness, but the culpability for the costs of the jurisdictional challenges was sustained.
So it's apparent that a leading corporate lawyer in London can be held liable for failing to draw a clear danger to a client's attention, and that such a risk can be linked to a failure to appropriately advise on contract jurisdiction terms.
What are the options for enforcement in the absence of a political solution? The Brussels Recast Regulation will not be shadowed once the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, as is logical. The Brussels Convention, which has not been officially abrogated and is an international instrument independent of the EU, might then be used to enforce UK decisions in some of the remaining Member States, according to a state-able argument.
