COMMERCIAL
Judgment givenCase summary:Does a car dealer who receives a commission from a lender for arranging finance in a tripartite transaction between customer, dealer, and lender in which a car is bought on credit owe a duty to the buyer of the car such as to enable that buyer (absent the requisite level of disclosure) to bring a claim against the lender for bribery or dishonest assistance, or under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (the “CCA”)? The appeal requires the determination of the following sub-issues: (i) Does, or should, the law recognise a distinct tort of bribery? (ii) If such a tort is recognised, what is the nature of the duty or relationship (here between dealer and customer) that must exist in order for the tort to be engaged? (iii) Relatedly, what level of disclosure will prevent liability for bribery from arising? (iv) In Mr Johnson’s case, was the relationship between customer and lender “unfair” for the purposes of the CCA?

PUBLIC LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Permission to Appeal application lodgedCase summary:Did the Court of Appeal err: (i) in concluding that the appellant’s claim under article 3 ECHR, although beyond the temporal scope of the Human Rights Act 1998, did not satisfy the ‘Convention values’ test? (ii) in not applying its findings and those of the court below in respect of article 14 ECHR and, separately, the Windsor Framework to the appellant’s case? Alternatively, does the common law prohibition of torture act as a limit upon the sovereignty of Parliament?
