Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Butler on 3 June 2025.

Read the full decision in UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-GIA (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6863e8d5b466cce1bb121ae2/UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-GIA.pdf).

Judicial Summary

The Upper Tribunal considered whether the First-tier Tribunal concluded correctly that a police misconduct panel (“PMP”) was a court for the purpose of applying the exemption given in section 32 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“FOIA”).

The Upper Tribunal decided the First-tier Tribunal made errors of law in reaching its decision that the PMP was a court.

At the parties’ request, the Upper Tribunal addressed whether, as a matter of law, PMPs are courts within the meaning of section 32(4)(a) of FOIA. The Upper Tribunal decided they would not meet that definition.

The Upper Tribunal remitted the appeal to the First-tier Tribunal with directions for it to determine the appeal on the basis that the PMP in question is not a court within the meaning of section 32(4)(a) of FOIA, and to decide whether the other exemptions relied on by the Second Respondent (sections 31(1)(g) and 40 of FOIA) apply to the Appellant’s request for information.
BLM32530 - Taxation of leases that are not long funding leases: finance lessees: importance of lease term: no secondary period: assets with residual values
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-15)


This manual is being updated to reflect FRS 102 (2024 amendments). For guidance on the tax treatment of accounts prepared under IFRS 16 or the revised FRS 102, please refer to pages within the BLM50000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm50000) chapter.

It is possible for a lease of a chattel (such as an aircraft or ship) to contain no provision for a secondary period although the asset is still very valuable at the end of the primary period. The trader may decide he only needs finance for the ship for ten years but the ship has a 25 year life. In these circumstances the trader (the lessee) is unlikely to be prepared to pay out rentals over the ten year primary period equal to the cost of the ship plus interest on the loan, unless he gets the full economic rights to the asset. So, if there is no provision for a secondary period, there should be provision for the lessee to get a rebate of rentals, when the lease ends, equal to the market value of the ship. See BLM32540 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm32540) where this is not the case.

If there is provision for the lessee to get a rebate of rentals when the lease ends equal to the market value of the asset, correct accountancy (see BLM32535 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm32535)) requires this residual value to be taken into account in computing the depreciation charge. Although the rentals are still written off over the primary period only, the capital element is written off net of the estimated residual value of the asset. The trader writes off his expected net loss on the asset after deducting the expected sale proceeds. This enables a sensible answer to be reached for tax purposes.

You should not accept that the lessee can write off the entire capital element of the rentals over the primary period simply because there are no secondary periods. To do so would be contrary to GAAP. If it is reasonably certain that the secondary period will be taken up by the lessee then this period forms part of the period over which the lease may be depreciated, see BLM15010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm15010).

If necessary, you should seek the views of your local advisory accountant on the commercial acceptability of any failure to take into account the residual value of the asset in this way.
UN Human Rights Council 60: UK Statement for the Interactive Dialogue with the Working Group on Enforced Disappearances
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-18)

UK Statement for the Interactive Dialogue with the Working Group on Enforced Disappearances. Not delivered due to time constraints.

Mr President,

The UK would like to thank the Working Group for its latest report.

We condemn all instances of enforced disappearances. They are a clear violation of human rights law, weaken the effectiveness of justice systems and undermine the rule of law.

In line with the report, we deeply appreciate lawyers and human rights defenders for their vital work in advocating for and supporting victims and affected families. Enforced disappearances can have significant and lasting impacts on communities around the world.

We also share the concerns highlighted in the report that enforced disappearances are being used as a tool to target human rights defenders, communities and indigenous people who advocate for preservation of their land or natural resources. Global Witness found that in 2023 alone, at least 196 land and environment defenders were murdered, with indigenous communities disproportionately affected. We urge states to thoroughly investigate all allegations of enforced disappearances and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.

Members of the Working Group,

What steps do you propose we take to strengthen the protection of human rights defenders working on land and environmental issues against threats of enforced disappearances?

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 Saepio Protection Group 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 Saepio Protection Group 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
We also pledge the following:

Foster and inclusive and respectful work environment for all members of the Armed Forces community. Promote awareness of the Armed Forces Covenant throughout our organisation and our professional networks, encouraging others to adopt similar to commitments.

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.

Crime and Policing Bill - new offences to criminalise the possession, importing, making, adaptation, supply, and offering to supply of articles for use in serious crime: options assessment - RPC opinion (green-rated)
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-08)

Regulatory Policy Committee opinion on the Home Office's options assessment for the elements of the Crime and Policing Bill that have an impact on business

The proposal introduces four measures:(1) powers to suspend internet addresses used for serious crime; (2) criminalisation of the supply or possession of SIM farms used in fraud; (3) reforming the ‘Identification Doctrine’ to improve corporate criminal liability; and (4) new offences for the possession, making, import and supply of electronic devices used in vehicle theft.

As originally submitted, the assessment was not fit for purpose. The RPC required more evidence of the scale of the problem, consultations undertaken and exploration of non-regulatory options. The assessment now demonstrates a reasonable case for intervention, supported by evidence of the scale of the problems. The department has now assessed appropriate options for each measure, including non-regulatory alternatives. The analysis of costs is better, with more monetisation and appropriate qualitative assessment. Evidence should be strengthened on costs to legitimate businesses, and monitoring & evaluation.

The assessment is now fit for purpose; green-rated.

SPE14420 - Specific rules and processes relating to Outward Processing: rate of yield – determining the debt due

For up-to-date guidance on special procedures, please refer to Pay less or no duty on goods you store, repair, process or temporarily use (GOV.UK) (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/pay-less-or-no-duty-on-goods-you-store-repair-process-or-temporarily-use) and Customs Technical Handbooks (GOV.UK) (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/customs-technical-handbooks).

Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/services-information).

The rate of yield is a crucial aspect of inward and outward processing and it is crucial that the proportion of import (for IP) and 'temporary' export (for OP) goods incorporated into the finished, processed products is calculated accurately. It is, therefore, essential that staff dealing with OP traders understand the concept of the rate of yield, and agree appropriate practical methods of establishing it during the authorisation process.

In order to correctly determine the amount of the customs debt incurred for processed products resulting from the Outward Processing procedure (or replacement products for Standard Exchange System (SES) the amount of duty shall be calculated on the basis of the cost of the processing operation undertaken outside the customs territory of the Union.

Calculating the amount of duty due on OP processed goods

Where specific import duty is due to be applied in relation to the processed products resulting from the Outward Processing procedure (or replacement products for SES), the amount of the import duty shall be calculated as follows:

the customs value of the processed products (at the time of acceptance of the customs declaration for release for free circulation)

minus

the statistical value of the corresponding temporary export goods at the time when they were placed under the Outward Processing procedure

multiplied by

the amount of import duty applicable to the processed products or replacement products

divided by

the customs value of the processed products or replacement products

Risk assessment form for rabies post exposure treatment.

An alert was raised by Indian Immunologicals Limited (https://drugscontrol.org/pdf/couneterfeit_abhayrab_merged.pdf) regarding the identification of falsified rabies vaccine in circulation in India in early 2025. The falsified vaccine is labelled as ‘Abhayrab batch no KA24014’ but there are reported to be several discrepancies in formulation, packaging, labelling, and manufacturing to the legitimate Abhayrab vaccine.

UKHSA is undertaking a review of the records of individuals who have received rabies vaccine as part of their post-exposure treatment course in India, and is in the process of contacting GPs if their patients are recommended to receive additional vaccines to complete their post-exposure treatment course. Health care professionals with concerns about a patient who may have received falsified rabies vaccine in India can contact the UKHSA Rabies and Immunoglobulin Service (RIgS) (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immunoglobulin-when-to-use/rabies-and-immunoglobulin-service-rigs) for further advice.

Interim recommendations for the use of human rabies immunoglobulin (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rabies-post-exposure-prophylaxis-management-guidelines/interim-recommendations-for-human-rabies-immunoglobulin-hrig-use) were issued on 27 June 2025. These recommendations supersede guidance on the use of rabies immunoglobulin within the UKHSA guidelines on managing rabies post-exposure treatment. The current guidance on use of rabies vaccine for post-exposure treatment remain the same.

The current lot of human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG) in use in England is:
- JRC24208, the potency is 345 International Units per millilitre (IU/ml), vial volume is 1.6 ml

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.

How to conduct routine checks on fire doors and provide information to residents.

This guide is aimed at Responsible Persons (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/people-with-duties-under-fire-safety-laws) carrying out simple checks on a fire door.

It is based on the assumption that the fire risk assessment has already assessed the suitability of the fire doors.

This guide has been published by the Secretary of State under Article 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO) to help Responsible Persons in meeting their duties under the FSO.

The PDF version of the ‘Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: fire door guidance’ is in the process of being updated. Please use the accessible HTML version of the guide until the updated PDF version is available.

The Building Safety Act 2022 requires the Building Safety Regulator to keep the safety and standard of buildings under review; Building Regulations or Approved Documents can then be updated as needed.
