My latest blog on FDRs. Aimed at the lay client but please do give it a read if you’re interested!
The Five W’s of FDRs (Financial Dispute Resolutions) 🔍 In her latest blog, Leora Taratula-Lyons provides an in-depth guide to FDRs - what they are, why they matter, how they can be used to resolve disputes and the difference between traditional court-based FDRs and private FDRs (pFDRs). For those going through financial remedy or Schedule 1 proceedings, an FDR can be a crucial step in settling disputes swiftly and proportionately without having to go through the emotional and financial cost of litigation or a full trial. With FDRs becoming increasingly popular as a form of NCDR (Non Court Dispute Resolution), understanding their role in enabling parties to achieve a negotiated settlement is more important than ever for clients and practitioners alike. Whether you’re already engaged in financial remedy or Schedule 1 proceedings or simply want to understand the process, click below to read Leora’s excellent insights. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/evWBYYCK #familylaw #divorcesupport #financialdisputes #disputeresolution #fdr #legalguide #legalinsights #legalhelp #ncdr

Although the proposal is in consultation until 21 June 2024, the SRA hope that their proposition will improve clarity and certainty for consumers and create consistent parameters throughout the legal sector to prevent overcharging.

BOI Reporting Put on Hold Yet Again The Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) have been temporarily halted following recent court rulings. On Dec. 26, 2024, the 5th Circuit Court reversed an earlier stay, reinstating a preliminary injunction that prevents the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) from enforcing the BOI filing requirements: “However, in order to preserve the constitutional status quo while the merits panel considers the parties’ weighty substantive arguments, that part of the motions-panel order granting the Government’s motion to stay the district court’s preliminary injunction enjoining enforcement of the CTA and the Reporting Rule is VACATED” This ruling concludes that, while the court considers the appeal, the injunction stands, and BOI reporting is not required until a court decision is reached, providing a clear status update.
