Another appalling misdirection of law from EU institutions obsessed with GDPR. It's one thing to look for privacy about who owns private companies (sort of) but now they want to suppress public access to ownership of public companies. Insider dealing ahoy! curia.europa.eu/juris/document…










@IrLegalHist @FourCourtsPress @historians_ie @MaynoothHist Photo from the launch of Confluences of Law and History by Ian d’Alton at the Irish Conference of Historians in Maynooth yesterday – Ian is flanked by the editors of the volume, Niamh Howlin and me. Ian described Confluences as a “humdinger of a book”.




Serious message from @TiceRichard at Bloomberg about the dire state of the financial sector. No growth; chronic debt. We used to have 100 IPOs a year in London. This year so far: 13. We need less & better regulation in the City; growth capital for entrepreneurs & SMEs; properly funded pensions; a far simpler tax code. @reformparty_uk is working on these priorities.
