isPermaLink="false">http://www.hillhofstetter.com/?p=2148</guid> <description><![CDATA[The European Commission has officially published proposals for a major revamp of European data protection laws. The current Data Protection Directive was published in 1995, with the UK’s Data Protection Act following in 1998. Given the rapid expansion of the Internet as a means of storing and distributing personal information, with an accompanying increase in cross-border data sharing, the current rules had become increasingly unfit for purpose. The Commission intends the new framework to be “strong, consistent, [and] future-proof”.A draft of the new proposals was leaked in November 2011. The proposals published on 25 January 2012 reflect a more watered down version of those contained in the leaked draft, but will still represent significant changes for all businesses that deal with personal data, and are likely to lead to both additional cost and increased risk for those businesses. The headline changes fall into three main groups – administration, protections for individuals, and enforcement.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.hillhofstetter.com/news-and-events/2012/03/01/european-commission-unveils-proposals-for-wholesale-reform-of-data-protection-regime/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Shareholders Beware &#8211; A Clear Statement of Intent by the SFO</title><link>http://www.hillhofstetter.com/news-and-events/2012/02/28/shareholders-beware-a-clear-statement-of-intent-by-the-sfo/</link> <comments>http://www.hillhofstetter.com/news-and-events/2012/02/28/shareholders-beware-a-clear-statement-of-intent-by-the-sfo/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 28 Feb 2012 09:56:49 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Hill Hofstetter</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Corporate - Tech]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News and Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Technical]]></category><guid

The SFO is the body responsible for the enforcement of corruption offences in the UK, including those under the Bribery Act 2010.

It continues to raise a number of key employment related issues. This update focuses on issues associated with the use of LinkedIn, guidance developed by ACAS and will also highlight recent cases. Please note however, that the case law discussed is not binding, but is a useful demonstration of how the Employment Tribunal is approaching the issue of social media in the first instance.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.hillhofstetter.com/news-and-events/2012/02/24/employment-news-social-networking-managing-employment-issues-part-2/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Agency Law &#8211; Your Questions Answered</title><link>http://www.hillhofstetter.com/news-and-events/2012/01/10/agency-law-your-questions-answered-12/</link> <comments>http://www.hillhofstetter.com/news-and-events/2012/01/10/agency-law-your-questions-answered-12/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:24:29 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Hill Hofstetter</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Commercial Disputes - Tech]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News and Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Technical]]></category><guid

The High Court held that the buyer of a company was induced to enter into a share purchase agreement (SPA) by a fraudulent misrepresentation and was therefore entitled to rescind the contract. The decision makes its clear that no amount of exclusion clauses or other boilerplate provisions can protect a seller in a case of fraudulent misrepresentation.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.hillhofstetter.com/news-and-events/2011/12/02/the-perils-of-fraudulent-misrepresentation-in-ma-transactions/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
