The Technology Working Group—an industry group for examining the impact of technology on the UK’s investment management sector—has published its second report on fund tokenisation. The report expands the potential use cases of fund tokenisation identified in the group’s November 2023 report. In particular, this second report explores the use of tokens as collateral for money market funds (MMFs), and the role tokenised funds play in a fully ‘on chain’ investment market that will streamline back-office functionality.

The Technology and Construction Court deals with all disputes relating to Construction and Engineering.

Dispute Resolution analysis: The case is based on a construction dispute and deals with practical mechanisms of providing extended disclosure under CPR PD 57AD (introduced in October 2022) in cases running in the Business and Property Courts. The decision deals with the different requirements to be met under CPR PD 57AD, para 17 (failure to comply with an existing disclosure order) and CPR PD 57AD, para 18 (varying an existing disclosure order, including by seeking specific documents). The court stressed the requirement of the parties to cooperate under CPR PD 57AD and that such cooperation had been ‘notably’ absent in the case at hand. It was noted that guidance on the operation of CPR PD 57AD can be sought under paragraph 11 from the court when there is a ‘significant difference of approach’ between the parties and that this option should be utilized in the future.

To a greater or lesser extent technological solutions have been employed at all stages of arbitral proceedings for decades. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and resultant travel restrictions and lockdowns necessitated an enhanced focus on how technology can be used by lawyers and arbitrators to promote fair and efficient proceedings on a global basis. Moreover, rapid advances in technology employed both by clients and in the legal sector (including the advancement in artificial intelligence (AI) technology), paired with increased cost and ESG pressures on practitioners, are placing a prominent spotlight on the way technology is employed in arbitration. When discussing technology in arbitration, it has historically been easy to think primarily in terms of e-discovery, electronic bundling and remote/hybrid hearings. However, technological concerns should and do pervade almost every aspect of an arbitration from the arbitration agreement and consideration of the underlying laws and procedural rules, to the choice of arbitrator, to case management and presentation, and even through to enforcement of the ultimate award. In addition to efficiency

PI & Clinical Negligence analysis: Harry Lambert is at the forefront of thought leadership on the intersection of law, technology and personal injury, and has published extensively in this area, including a three-part series for the New Law Journal asking whether social media can be conceptualised as a defective product, and a detailed analysis of tortious liability for algorithmic wrongs in the Journal of Personal Injury Law. He regularly speaks on these issues internationally. This article considers how existing liability principles may apply to harms caused by AI technologies, including conversational AI, algorithmic systems and AI-assisted healthcare and the practical challenges claimants may face in bringing such claims.

MLex: Telecom companies Vodafone, Orange, BT and Telenor are urging the EU to create a clear legal basis allowing internet access providers to block access to confirmed child sexual-abuse material (CSAM) that remains online pending removal. Their call comes as EU institutions continue negotiations on a permanent regulation to combat CSAM online, while temporary detection rules have been extended until April 2028.

MLex: The European Commission has proposed binding rules under a revised Cybersecurity Act to force telecom operators and other priority sectors to phase out high-risk IT vendors such as Huawei. The move replaces voluntary measures, sets strict timelines for telecoms, and could later affect sectors including cloud services, medical devices and semiconductors, subject to risk assessments.

MLex: Telecom operators and satellite service providers, such as EchoStar and Viasat, will see an EU plan to divide spectrum for government and commercial uses, after the EU executive faced intense scrutiny to allow non-European companies—including Amazon Leo and Elon Musk’s SpaceX—access to the valuable resource.
