Rapist has sentence increased after assaulting two women
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-17)

A rapist who attacked two women in the same night has had his sentence extended following the Solicitor General’s intervention.

Haider Ali, 31, from Middlesbrough, had his sentence extended by five years following an intervention under the Unduly Lenient Sentence Scheme by the Solicitor General Lucy Rigby KC MP.

The court heard that on 7 September 2024, Ali travelled from his home in Middlesbrough to Stockton.

Ali followed a woman to the back of a disused building, before raping her. The attack lasted almost an hour. Ali was captured on CCTV running away.

Shortly after, Haider Ali raped a second woman on the Yarm Road. Again, Ali was captured on CCTV running away before the victim, who was pregnant, called the police.

In a Victim Personal Statement, one victim said the attack was constantly on their mind and could not carry out day-to-day activities without thinking of the attack.

The Solicitor General Lucy Rigby KC MP said:

“This was a truly horrific case, and I want to commend the brave victims who came forward to put Haider Ali behind bars.

“I strongly welcome the Court’s decision to extend this offender’s prison term.”

Ali was charged with three counts of rape. On 17 March 2025, Ali was sentenced at Teeside Crown Court to an extended sentence of 12 years compromising of 10 years’ imprisonment with a licence extension of two years.

On 17 June 2025, his sentence was increased to 17 years comprising of 15 years’ imprisonment with a license extension of two years a referral to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence Scheme.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Roper James Solicitors will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Roper James Solicitors recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

AAIB Record-only UAS investigations reviewed: February - March 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-07)

This is a list of AAIB Record-only investigations that were reviewed during February - March 2025

When an accident or incident is reported to the AAIB it can be classified as Formal, Field, Correspondence or Record Only investigation. Further information regarding the first three types of investigation can be found on our How we investigate page. (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-we-investigate/how-we-investigate)

An occurrence that is classified as being ‘Record Only’ is one that if investigated fully has little likelihood of identifying new safety lessons that will advance aviation safety.

This process of gathering and analysis of information is being carried out initially by the Duty Co-ordinator from the notification and will make a conclusion to ‘record only’ if there is enough information in order to analyse and draw a conclusion. If there is not enough information at notification stage, then a form is sent to the pilot in order to gather more information for analysis and a decision on whether a fuller investigation is needed.

The occurrence details are reviewed and recorded in tabular format and published bimonthly online and in the March, May, July, September, November and January Bulletins.

Details of previous record-only investigations can be found on the Record-only investigations page. (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/aaib-record-only-investigations)

ERSM165239 - International from 6 April 2025: ascertaining chargeable and unchargeable foreign securities income - from 6 April 2025: Examples: Example 4 - Employee met s41H(4) prior to 25/26 & is ineligible for OWR in 25/26 - Hybrid employment arrangements
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-16)


Freda is employed by a German bank in London. In the 2023/24, 2024/25 and 2025/26 tax years she devotes 60%, 70% and 50% respectively of her total working time to this employment. She has a separate employment with an affiliate of the bank which requires her to spend the remainder (40%, 30% & 50%) of her working time at that bank’s offices in Berlin. The two employers are associated, applying the rules in s24(5) & (6) ITEPA. She does work of comparable value in both employments. s24A ITEPA does not apply.

Freda is UK-resident and does not meet the requirement of s26A ITEPA in 2023/24 or 2024/25 and claims the remittance basis of taxation under s809B ITA07 for both years. In 2025/26 Freda remains UK-resident but is not eligible for the new OWR regime. On 6 April 2023 she is granted a share option by her Berlin employer. She exercises the option when it vests on 5 April 2026 realising a gain of £3,000, which counts as employment income for the 2025/26 tax year under Chapter 5 of Part 7 ITEPA.

All the conditions in s41H(4) ITEPA are met for 23/24 & 24/25. However, for the 25/26 tax year s41H(4) ITEPA can no longer be met, so any income apportioned to this tax year is not treated as Foreign Securities Income.

The relevant period for the share option falls wholly within the 23/24, 24/25 & 25/26 tax years.

As Freda has an associated employment as well as her UK employment section 41I ITEPA applies in each year. For the purposes of ascertaining chargeable Foreign Securities Income (FSI), s41H(2) ITEPA treats £1000 of the gain as accruing over each tax year.

As a result, £400 (40%) plus £300 (30%) so a total of £700, is chargeable Foreign Securities Income in relation to 23/24 and 24/25 and will be taxed only if remitted to the UK. The £500 (50%) attributable to 2025/26 is a tax year in which s41H(4) ITEPA can no longer be met, so is not treated as FSI, and instead is “Securities Income”.

The balance of £2,300 is treated as Securities Income in 2025/26 and is therefore treated as an amount of Taxable Specific Income for the tax year.

Any chargeable FSI treated as accruing before 6 April 2025 that is later remitted to the UK will still be taxable in the UK and may be subject to Temporary Repatriation Facility (TRF) in the 25/26, 26/27 & 27/28 tax years.

VCM75250 - Share Loss Relief: individual and corporate claimants: individual claimants: a simple case without complications: is it the right sort of disposal?
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-17)


Having established that there has been a disposal of shares, you must be certain that the disposal is either
- By way of a bargain made at arm’s length (so a loss accruing on a sale of shares at under value cannot be subject to a Share Loss Relief claim, even though the allowable loss computed under TCGA rules is based on the market value of the shares disposed of rather than the actual consideration received, TCGA92/S17). Note that the treatment imposed by TCGA92/S18(2) does not apply for Share Loss Relief purposes, so the question of whether a bargain is made at arm’s length must be determined only according to the terms of the transaction and not by reference to whether the parties are connected or not. For guidance on the meaning of a bargain at arm’s length, see CG14541 (http://home.active.hmrci/cgmanual/CG14541.htm).
- By way of a distribution in the course of dissolving or winding up the company. In these circumstances a shareholder does not part with his or her shares but TCGA92/S122 deems there to be a disposal of an interest in the shares, see CG57800 (http://home.active.hmrci/cgmanual/CG57800.htm) onwards. ITA07/S131(3)(b) includes this deemed disposal in the list of disposals that can give rise to a loss qualifying for Share Loss Relief.
- A disposal within TCGA92/S24(1), that is to say the entire loss, destruction, dissipation or extinction of the shares. ITA07/S131(3)(c)includes this deemed disposal in the list of disposals that can give rise to a loss qualifying for Share Loss Relief.
- A deemed disposal under TCGA92/S24(2), that is to say a disposal resulting from a negligible value claim. ITA07/S131(3)(d) includes this deemed disposal in the list of disposals that can give rise to a loss qualifying for Share Loss Relief. (There is detailed guidance on negligible value claims at CG13120P (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg13120p)).
Also, the disposal must not arise as a result of the action of TCGA92/S137. Section 137 is an anti-avoidance provision and where it applies a transaction (such as a share-for-share exchange) which would otherwise be deemed not to involve a disposal (for instance because section 135 would apply), is after all recognised for TCGA purposes. So where this anti-avoidance statute applies it is not open to the shareholder to claim Share Loss Relief in respect of the resulting capital loss.

Controlling boyfriend’s suspended sentence overturned
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-27)

A man who violently abused and coercively controlled his partner has had his suspended sentence quashed following an intervention by the Attorney General.

Philip Humphreys, 39, from Stoke-on-Trent, has had his suspended sentence quashed and replaced with a two year and four month prison sentence after it was referred to the Court of Appeal by the Attorney General, Lord Hermer KC, under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.

The court heard that Humphreys and his partner began their relationship in April 2022 and quickly moved in together. However, Humphreys soon became controlling and coercive.

He repeatedly accused her of wanting to have sex with other men, constantly checked where she was and controlled what she wore.

Humphreys took around £6,000 from the victim, with the majority being spent on drugs, threatened to kill himself, aggressively shouted at her, and threw furniture.

Whilst on holiday, Humphreys violently assaulted the victim, which included strangling her and dragging her backwards. He only stopped when a hotel receptionist disturbed him.

After they broke up, Humphreys continued to intimidate the victim, repeatedly driving past her house.

Attorney General Lord Hermer KC said:

“Philip Humphreys’ carried out a sustained physical and psychological campaign of abuse against his victim, who must have been in a constant state of fear. My thoughts today are with the victim, and I commend her bravery for coming forward.”

“Philip Humphreys is a violent man, and I welcome the court’s decision to increase his sentence. I hope this case serves a strong warning to domestic abusers that we will use the full force of the law to keep violent abusers off our streets.”

On 7 March 2025, Philip Humphreys was sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment suspended for two years, with 200 hours of unpaid work and a 25 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement Days for one count of controlling and coercive behaviour.

On 23 May 2025, his sentence was increased to two years and four months’ imprisonment after it was referred to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.

Source: gov.uk (2025-06-25)

A consultation on new requirements under ‘Awaab’s Law’, including timescales for repairs in the social rented sector.

Everyone deserves to live in a home that is decent, safe and secure. Awaab’s Law, which was introduced in the landmark Social Housing Regulation Act 2023, requires landlords to investigate and fix reported health hazards within specified timeframes.

The primary purpose of this consultation is to set those timeframes, and government is seeking views from across the sector. The new rules will form part of a tenancy agreement, so that tenants can hold landlords to account by law if they fail to provide a decent home.

This is part of a package of publications relating to social housing quality, forming a crucial part of the government’s action to eradicate hazards from social homes and improve standards across the sector.

There are two choices as to how the duty due is to be calculated. Importers can opt to use either. CSPOPEER Reg 23(1)(a) and (b) (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2018/1249/regulation/23) which allows us to determine the liability by reference to the goods as they stood when the declaration for the procedure was made (and not when the liability is incurred) or TCTA Part 1 Section 4.

Podium Pet Products Limited
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-10)

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Podium Pet Products Limited will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Podium Pet Products Limited recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
