Article 27(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires both controllers and processors established outside the EEA to designate an EEA representative in certain situations, (see Practice Note: UK GDPR and EU GDPR—extra-territorial reach—Appointing a representative). While Article 28 of the GDPR does not provide that a controller-processor contract must contain any mandatory provision relating to an EEA representative, association with a party in breach of this obligation could result in damage to the other party's reputation. If a party has failed to appoint a representative when required it is also a red flag that it isn’t paying appropriate attention to compliance with data protection laws, which may make the risk

Many sports and leisure activities carry an inherent risk of injury. Participating in an extreme sport or leisure activity can make it alluring and exciting but even common and less dangerous activities and sports such as cycling, swimming and playing football carry some risk of injury. Establishing liability will concern the consideration of a number of factors including negligence, assumption of risk and the inherent risks associated with the sport or leisure activity. When adults, fully aware of the risk, suffer injury while engaged in the risky activity, the question arises whether the organiser of the activity owes a duty of care to the injured person. Basic principles The basic principles for pursuing a personal injury claim apply equally to sports and leisure accident claims: • the defendant must owe the claimant a duty of care • the defendant must be in breach of that duty, and • the claimant must suffer a loss or injury which is causally connected with the breach Contributory negligence can often be

Overview This Practice Note considers the role, scope and drafting of assumptions and qualifications in English law legal opinions delivered in banking and finance transactions. It focuses primarily on enforceability and capacity opinions issued in connection with loan facilities, including both bilateral and syndicated transactions. In most financing transactions governed by English law, delivery of one or more legal opinions is a condition precedent to utilisation or completion. These opinions are typically addressed to the lender, facility agent and/or security agent and the practice in England and Wales is that they are provided by the lender’s own legal advisers. Two structural components are fundamental to any legal opinion: assumptions and qualifications. Assumptions address matters of fact or external law which the opinion giver does not independently verify. Qualifications (sometimes referred to as reservations) limit or explain the scope and effect of the opinions expressed. Together, they define the boundaries of the opinion giver’s responsibility. Lenders may request the removal of particular assumptions or the narrowing of qualifications

An assured tenancy is a tenancy that satisfies the requirements of H(S)A 1988, s 12, namely: • a house is let as a separate dwelling, and • the tenant, or at least one of the joint tenants, is an individual (not a commercial entity) • the tenant or one of the joint tenants, occupies the property as their only or principal home • the tenancy is not excluded in terms of H(S)A 1988, Sch 4 • the tenancy was not granted on or after 1 December 2017 The
