California: Court Order to Benefit Thousands of Children in the State
In San Diego, California, thousands of migrant children remain in unsanitary and unsafe outdoor camps for weeks. Judge Dolly Gee of the U.S. District Court for California has ordered federal authorities to provide shelter, food, and medical care to these children. The federal authorities had not considered themselves obligated to protect the children as they were not officially detained or in the custody of the Office of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The ruling will change the situation, with plans to relocate the children from improvised outdoor waiting areas to a place where they will receive more protection.

Bloody Sunday families decry decision not to prosecute 15 veterans for perjury
Relatives of Bloody Sunday victims condemned the decision by Northern Ireland’s Public Prosecution Service not to prosecute 15 former soldiers for perjury, calling it an affront to the rule of law. The decision extinguished one of the families’ few remaining hopes of legal action over the 1972 massacre in Derry. Legal representatives for the families are considering further action. The decision comes ahead of controversial legacy legislation granting conditional immunity for Troubles offences. The PPS stated that the available evidence was insufficient for a conviction, despite the Saville inquiry's findings that the killings were unjustified.

Arbitrator Bias: The English Commercial Court Offers Further Guidance on Disqualification of Arbitrators
The English Commercial Court recently removed a sole arbitrator in the case of H1 & Anor v W & Ors due to justifiable doubts about his impartiality and a real possibility of bias. This decision builds on the principles established in the Halliburton Co v Chubb Bermuda Insurance Ltd case, emphasizing the importance of arbitrator impartiality. The court found that the arbitrator's statements about expert witnesses indicated a prejudgment of the evidence, leading to his removal. The case underscores the critical need for arbitrators to maintain impartiality, given the limited avenues for appeal in arbitration compared to court litigation.

Driving an Uber in Ecuador must be regulated, orders the Constitutional Court
The Constitutional Court of Ecuador has ruled that ride-sharing apps like Uber, DiDi, and InDrive must be regulated, addressing a legal challenge against the penal code that imposed severe penalties on drivers without proper licenses. The court found the existing sanctions disproportionate and called for a maximum vehicle retention period of seven days. It urged the National Assembly to reform the law to distinguish these apps from pirate taxis and to create a licensing system for app-based drivers. The decision aims to balance economic freedom with public safety, while addressing concerns from traditional taxi associations about unfair competition.

Judge Dismisses Case Against Seeking Alpha: Implications For Publishers Of Financial Information
The US District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed a case against Seeking Alpha, determining that its activities fall within the publisher's exclusion under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The plaintiffs had alleged that Seeking Alpha operated as an unregistered investment adviser, but the court found that its services, including premium content and stock recommendations, did not constitute personalized investment advice. This decision reassures financial content platforms about the scope of the publisher's exclusion, though they must remain cautious to avoid crossing into regulated investment advisory activities.

The charity's application for a writ of habeas corpus was dismissed, as the court concluded the respondents do not control the detention of the women and children. An alternative application for judicial review was also rejected. The detainees, held by the Autonomous Administration of North East Syria and the Syrian Democratic Forces, are Australian citizens or eligible for citizenship and have not been charged with any crime.

Where the Reformation flourished, religious liberty may die out
In Geneva, the enforcement of a new secularism law has led to the prohibition of public baptism services by evangelical churches, sparking concerns about religious liberty. Pastor Jean René Moret's church, the Evangelical Church of Cologny, faced a denial for a lakeside baptism service, a decision upheld by the Swiss Supreme Court. The law aims to ensure religious neutrality in public spaces, but critics argue it discriminates against evangelical churches while allowing nonreligious groups to hold public events. The European Court of Human Rights may still reconsider the ruling, which has significant implications for religious freedom in Geneva and beyond.
