Unprecedented action against Russia: Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Measures

It is deeply troubling that a nation governed by rule of law, and rightly can claim to be a pioneer and model for the rest of the world should end up with a law which makes provision for deprivation of citizenship by executive order, person in question may not need to be informed that his/her citizenship is being/ has been revoked, and little or no opportunity for judicial or any other form of scrutiny. Of course, worse still, this law almost without doubt is aimed at and will primarily impact upon non-white citizens, primary brunt borne perhaps by those coming from one particular faith. It is to and it discriminates people based on place of birth, colour of their skin or their professed faith.

Editorial: Priti Patel might like decisions about revoking citizenship to remain unchallenged as the individual no longer has the right to know. But nobody else should welcome such a chilling move

Another charity under investigation by the for England and Wales. Many charity trustees do not appreciate the severity and the gravity of their roles as trustees. Few demonstrate sound understanding of the legal duty which come with their office and the implications which can follow for failure to adhere to such duty. We also find that in most cases, trustees are well intentioned, and genuinely did not want to act in a manner that is less than fitting for a trustee (act or omission) but issues arise because of the lack of knowledge and appreciation of their legal duty and how it plays out in practice. Not all charities who fail in their duty are investigated by the Charity Commission, but those who are investigated and where issues are identified, the consequences of such findings can be devastating.
It is therefore really important for a charity to ensure it has the right governance framework in place, appropriately robust arrangement for reviewing and auditing as well as competent professional support to guide and assist the charity. When a charity is investigated, again, it is really important to have appropriately qualified professional assistance to deal with the investigation and mitigate any fall out which may arise as a result.
