  1. Concerning the legalisation of #pluginsolar in the UK, there is one question open (for us) and maybe there is a #lawyer here who can answer it:

    The UK "legalized" #pluginpv but didn't change any law concerning the right of #tenants to use it. The guidance simply says "ask your #landlord”.

    Is the use of pluginsolar now subject to the whims of the landlord or does UK law give the tenant a right to install it, as its a generally legal and regulated technical device?

  2. A quotation from Shakespeare

    BASSANIO: In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt
       But, being seasoned with a gracious voice,
       Obscures the show of evil?

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Merchant of Venice, Act 3, sc. 2, l. 77ff (3.2.77-79) (1597)

  5. Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the raid. A #US #citizen, he said agents broke through his door & dragged him out in zip ties.

    Johnson said he was left #TiedUp outside the building for nearly 3 hours before agents finally let him go.

    “I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, & they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a #warrant, & I asked for a #lawyer. They never brought one.”

  6. STARBUCKS ACCUSED OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING

    Eight Brazilian people have decided to sue Starbucks in the United States for violating the law against human trafficking.
    Supporting them is lawyer Terry Collingsworth, who is already in a fight with other multinationals.

  7. …If confirmed, #EdMartin would…direct an office that prosecuted advisers to #Trump — including Martin allies #RogerStone & #MikeFlynn — as well as Dem atty Gregory B. Craig in past federal investigations into #Russia #influence ops.

    …Martin has posed a challenge for the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, not only bc of his lack of experience as a prosecutor or trial #lawyer but also bc of the volume of his statements on social media & in traditional media, & the unusual extent of his omissions.

  8. Back in 2018, Beaver Lake Cree filed for an #AdvancedCostOrder - #ACO - to secure funds from #Alberta and #Canada in order to continue accessing #justice for their #TreatyRights case, a case which will protect their people and territory from further expansion of the Alberta #TarSands and other #ResourceExtraction industries if successful. But, the cost of litigation for a case this momentous was more than the #FirstNation could front. That’s where the ACO comes in.

    After six years, and reaching the #SupremeCourt of Canada ( #SCC ) — #BeaverLakeCree Nation will now receive $1.5 million annually from Alberta to continue their Treaty rights case!

    The decision for a yearly contribution is a welcome relief, allowing the Beaver Lake #Cree Nation to move their case forwards while managing costs across their community needs.

  9. You need to be a very specialized #lawyer to even partially understand the millions and billions of #copyright #law #paragraphs these days, so only the #corporations can take advantage, while everybody else can get squeezed by it - when the corporations apply it on them. 😋
