The document discusses several news stories related to EU regulations and directives being implemented in the UK legal system. It provides examples of an EU regulation harmonizing rules around herbal medicines and electronic communications. It also discusses how the UK brings EU laws into force through the European Communities Act of 1972, allowing them to be implemented by statutory instrument without passing separate legislation. Additionally, it covers a case where a former banker appealed and was granted a larger divorce settlement, and emergency legislation being rushed through Parliament to reverse a court ruling on police bail.

Postal services in Poland are governed by the Postal Law Act of 2003 (in

However, the Draft was not placed on the Government’s legislative agenda

The Telecommunications Law Act1 (in Polish: Prawo Telekomunikacyjne,
hereafter: PT) was subject to a number of amendments in 2011 introduced by
the Amendment Act of 14 April 2011 and the Amendment Act of 16 September
2011 as well as by the separate Act of 30 June 2011 on the implementation of
digital terrestrial television.
In response to the reservations expressed by the European Commission
regarding the compatibility of the way in which regulatory obligations
concerning the setting of wholesale prices are imposed in Poland, the
Amendment Act of 14 April 2011 changed Articles 39 and 40 PT2. The direct
reason for this amendment was set out in a reasoned opinion prepared by the
Commission in October 2010 under Article 258 TFEU3. It was stated therein
that Polish rules regarding the establishment of wholesale prices may give
rise to legal uncertainty and may be discriminatory towards certain telecoms
operators.

2010 Legislative Developments in TelecommunicationsMichal
The Act from 9 April 2010 on the amendment of the Telecommunications
Law Act1 (in Polish: Prawo Telekomunikacyjne; hereafter, PT) introduced a broad
range of changes concerning the principles in accordance to which telecoms
services are to be provided to end users in Poland. It is important to stress first
the change in the definition of a ‘subscriber’ [Article 2(1) PT]. Accordingly,
every entity that is party to an agreement for the provision of telecoms services
concluded with a provider of publicly available telecoms services, irrespective
of whether the agreement is concluded in a written or any other form, is now
considered a ‘subscriber’. This amendment results from the ECJ judgment of
22 anuary 20092. The Court declared therein that the limitation of the definition
of a ‘subscriber’ to entities that are party to written telecoms agreements only
is incompatible with Article 2(k) of the Framework Directive.

UK Academics pen open letter regarding state surveillanceMark Leiser
Last year the UK Government made changes to UK surveillance laws to allow law enforcement bodies and intelligence agencies to hack computers without fear of prosecution under the Computer Misuse Act. This was done with very little transparency and almost no consultation. (You can read Privacy International’s take on this here (https://www.privacyinternational.org/?q=node/584).)UK academics have united to pen a letter asking for government accountability and respect for the democratic processes of Parliament. The aim of the letter is to jolt some of the new intake into the Commons into taking responsibility for scrutiny of the Government’s surveillance strategy, in particular with the Snoopers’ Charter almost certain to be in the Queen’s Speech.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The Court of Appeal said the judge was wrong to include William Murphy's company deferred compensation fund in its calculations. The fund, from his former employer Merrill Lynch, was notionally valued at £550,000 <br />The appeal judge also found that Mrs Justice Parker was not justified in ruling that Mr Murphy had wasted £2million of the family assets after separating from his wife, Helene, in 2006. Lord Justice Thorpe, who headed the panel of three appeal judges, said the accusation was 'unfair to the husband'. <br />Mr Murphy, who worked for Salomon Brothers in New York and Merrill Lynch in London, will now get nearly £820,000. His wife's share was cut from £1.9million to £1.5million. He can also claim the substantial legal costs of the case. The assets of the couple, who were married in 1996 and have no children, have been split 65/35 in favour of Mrs Murphy. Lord Justice Thorpe said this was justified as Mr Murphy had greater future earning potential. <br />The case came in the week a leading family lawyer called for an end to court rulings which left wives living in comfort on the back of their husbands' money. Baroness Deech said handing a husband's wealth to the wife after a short childless marriage was demeaning to women who were fully capable of finding work. She said such over-generosity to women had made London the divorce capital of the world. At the time of Mr Murphy's settlement, the former banker was earning nothing, his lawyer Martin Pointer QC, had told the court. But his wife Helene had a handsome income as a director of a London art gallery, he added.<br />Which court (and which division of that court) would initially have heard this case before the appeal?<br />Which court heard the appeal and why was it heard in that court?<br />What change did the court make to the original hearing?<br />Why do you think the appeal was allowed?<br />http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2011152/Emergency-legislation-reverse-police-bail-ruling-rushed-Commons.html <br />Emergency legislation to reverse police bail ruling to be rushed through the CommonsThe initial ruling, made by a district judge and backed by a judicial review at the High Court, means officers can no longer bail suspects for more than four days without either charging or releasing them.<br />His announcement came as three Supreme Court justices were considering an application from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) to stay the judgement pending a full appeal at the same court on July 25.<br />The row started when district judge Jonathan Finestein, sitting at Salford Magistrates' Court, refused a routine application from GMP for a warrant of further detention of murder suspect Paul Hookway on April 5. High Court judge Mr Justice McCombe confirmed the ruling in a judicial review on May 19, which meant time spent on police bail counted towards the maximum 96-hour limit of pre-charge detention, after which Home Office officials were told about the problems.<br />A legal bid by Greater Manchester Police to stay the judgement, effectively putting it on hold, has been submitted to the Supreme Court.<br />Emergency legislation to reverse a controversial legal ruling on police bail will go through all stages in the Commons on Thursday, the leader of the House said. Sir George Young said peers would then consider the police detention and bail Bill early next week.<br />1. What court made the initial ruling? (see line 1)<br />Why was it reviewed at the High Court?<br />What court is considering the appeal? Why is this court handling the appeal?<br />Which court is handling the ‘stay of judgement’ request? Why is this court handling it?<br />‘Emergency Legislation’ is being rushed through parliament going through ‘all stages in the Commons on Thursday’ before going to the Peers ‘next week’. What are the stages it will go through? Why does it go to the Peers?<br />
![Law Exercises<br />Regulations and Directives<br />For each of the new stories below read the news story then answer the questions below it:-<br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-13215010 <br />New EU regulations on herbal medicines come into force <br />New European Union rules have come into force banning hundreds of traditional herbal remedies. The EU law aims to protect consumers from possible damaging side-effects of over-the-counter herbal medicines.<br />For the first time, new regulations will allow only long-established and quality-controlled medicines to be sold. But both herbal remedy practitioners and manufacturers fear they could be forced out of business.<br />To date, the industry has been covered by the 1968 Medicines Act, drawn up when only a handful of herbal remedies were available and the number of herbal practitioners was very small. But surveys show that about a quarter of all adults in the UK have used a herbal medicine in the past two years, mostly bought over the counter in health food shops and pharmacies. The regulations will cover widely used products such as echinacea, St John's Wort and valerian, as well as traditional Chinese and Indian medicines.<br /> Herbal remedies that have been approved for sale under the new regulations will come with this logo. Safety concerns have focused on the powerful effects of some herbal remedies, as well as the way they interact with conventional drugs. For example, St John's Wort can interfere with the contraceptive pill, while ginkgo and ginseng are known to have a similar effect to the blood-thinning drug Warfarin.<br />From now on only products that have been assessed by the Medicine and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) will be allowed to go on sale. Manufacturers will have to prove that their products have been made to strict standards and contain a consistent and clearly marked dose. And to count as a traditional medicine, products must have been in use for the past 30 years, including 15 years within the EU. They will also only be approved for minor ailments like coughs and colds, muscular aches and pains, or sleep problems. Remedies already on sale will be allowed to stay on the shelves until they reach their expiry date. <br />,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/lawexchangecouk-shared-resource3932/85/Law-Exchange-co-uk-Shared-Resource-1-320.jpg)
