Website blocking orders—checklist

Website blocking orders—checklist Applying for a website blocking order This Checklist outlines key points to be considered when applying for a website blocking order (WBO). A WBO may be a useful tool for rights holders to consider if a website has been identified which is infringing copyright, registered trade marks or other rights, but for which the owner/operator of the website is unidentifiable and/or is outside of the jurisdiction. WBOs are sufficiently flexible that, if the website owner/operator attempts to circumvent the blocking measures implemented by the internet service providers (ISPs), the ISP can be notified of this and the blocking measures can be adapted to deal with this without requiring a further court order. A WBO does not require a prior finding of infringement against the website owner/operator and the owner/operator need not be made a party. For further information, the Checklist should be used alongside Practice Note: Website blocking orders. The third column can be used to record observations or comments as the Checklist is worked through. ...

Electronic communications: Universal Service Directive [Archived]

What is meant by the phrase ‘piercing the corporate veil’?

What is meant by the phrase ‘piercing the corporate veil’? A properly formed registered company is a separate legal entity from its shareholders and has separate rights and liabilities as a separate legal person. This principle is colloquially described as the corporate veil or the Salomon principle, being most famously stated by Lord MacNaghten in the case of Salomon v Salomon: The company is at law a different person altogether from the subscribers to the memorandum; and, though it may be that after incorporation the business is precisely the same as it was before, and the same persons are managers, and the same hands receive the profits, the company is not in law the agent of the subscribers or trustee for them. Nor are the subscribers as members liable, in any shape or form, except to the extent and in the manner provided by the Act. A company, as a separate legal entity, continues to exist irrespective of changes to its membership. It owns its...

Can the write-off of a loan made by one company to another be a distribution under Part 23 of the Companies Act 2006, where both the lending company and the borrowing company have the same majority shareholder?

Can the write-off of a loan made by one company to another be a distribution under Part 23 of the Companies Act 2006, where both the lending company and the borrowing company have the same majority shareholder? We can find no direct authority confirming that the write-off of a loan made by one company to another, where both the lending company and the borrowing company have the same majority shareholder, is a distribution under Part 23 of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) or that it is not. There is a possibility that a court could view such a transaction as a distribution for these purposes and some careful analysis of the law and the facts will be necessary. However, Stakefield (Midlands) and others v Doffman and another provides some useful guidance. The court found that the waiver by a company (S Ltd) of certain loans owed to it by other companies associated with it (by virtue of two of the shareholder/directors of S Ltd...
