China’s Foreign State Immunity Law 2023: Implications for Enforcement of Judgments and Arbitral Awards against States and State Entities in the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, and Macau

The new Foreign State Immunity Law 2023 of the People’s Republic of China came into force on 1 January 2024. This shifts the country (as well as its special administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macau) away from absolute state immunity to restrictive state immunity, bringing it more in line with the relatively prevalent practice among the international community. This article discusses the status of state immunity in public international law, analyses the new law’s provisions and examines practical challenges that will be faced by those seeking to utilise this law to enforce judgments or awards against foreign states and state entities, and the new law’s innovations that go beyond the United Nations Convention on Jurisdictional Immunities of States and Their Property of 2004 and the UK State Immunity Act 1978.

Utilising Generative AI in Businesses: Risks and Best Practices

The rise in popularity of generative artificial intelligence (‘generative AI’) has ignited the discussion on whether junior employees can be replaced by it. Some have gone to the extent of questioning whether professionals, such as lawyers, can also be replaced by generative AI. Is it wise to replace junior employees or lawyers with generative AI? What factors should be considered before deploying generative AI tools in your business? To consider these questions, we first need to understand the basic workings of generative AI and what it can offer. Fundamentally, AI is intelligence that is not biological. The general understanding is that machines will be ascribed with this intelligence. These machines have the ability to interpret, learn from and process external data in a way that is similar to the capabilities of the human mind. Generative AI is a type of AI program that generates content from a data set. It uses deep learning, a type of machine learning system that behaves like a neural network to simulate the functions of a human brain. In other words, it can mimic human intelligence by exhibiting analytical skills to create new content. Not only can generative AI be utilised in chatbot programs to create text, but it can also be used in programs that can create images, sound or videos. This article will consider two major forms of generative AI, in the context of risks to businesses: chatbots using generative pre-trained transformer technology programs; and image generating programs.

A framework for digital platform regulation

In rapid succession, a number of jurisdictions have moved away from focusing on antitrust enforcement to the proposed regulation of digital platforms. Ostensibly, the regulatory focus is about competition and potential concerns that traditional ex post enforcement may be ill-equipped to address the power of digital platforms. This article focuses on the realities of what platform regulation might mean, and how to better frame and structure the nature of appropriate regulation. This article first identifies a number of the different approaches to regulation that various jurisdictions have put forward, and then lays out six basic principles for platform regulation to help address some of the potential harms that such approaches may unwittingly be pursuing.

Political ads: social media companies scrutinised as UK election looms

Sales in law: why great lawyers are already great at sales

Many lawyers feel uncomfortable with the word ‘sales’. The idea of pitching, persuading or promoting can feel unnatural. And it’s no wonder – multiple studies show that salespeople are widely perceived as untrustworthy, and lawyers aren’t rated much higher. The encouraging part, though, is that great lawyers already apply the core principles of good sales. The real shift is in mindset: moving from ‘selling’ to consultative relationship-building – something most great lawyers are already doing when supporting their clients.

Where does EU law stand on abuse of dominance: lessons from key high-tech cases of the 21st century

This article provides a historical perspective on some of the main European Union abuse of dominance cases in the hi-tech sector from this century. It then seeks to draw lessons from those cases about where the law in the EU stands on abuse of dominance on a number of key issues, as well as what unanswered questions remain for the future, both as regards case enforcement itself and the interplay between that and regulation. The next section sets the scene by outlining the policy context and some of the key issues at stake, both in terms of antitrust’s analytical framework, and its role and very purpose. Then, the article provides an overview of a number of the main EU abuse of dominance cases in the hi-tech sector from this century, and in light of those, a description of where we stand and where more clarification may come in the future. The article concludes by placing the debate in the broader policy context of the role and effectiveness of antitrust and its interplay with regulation.

With nine cases already decided and six ongoing probes as of July 2019, there is a clear concern about false positives and avoidance of severe intervention, and no precise guidance on how companies should behave. The research also reveals interesting findings such as the importance of third parties, areas of concern and the inexistence of convictions.

Data Protection and Privacy Class Action Lawsuits in the UK: the Damages Conundrum

The majority of class action lawsuits in privacy and data protection in the United Kingdom have not succeeded. This may appear surprising, given the breadth of data rights found in the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the development of the tort of misuse of private information. This article reviews the cases to date, including the most recent attempt in Prismall v Google UK Limited [2023] EWHC 1169 (KB), and examines why class action lawsuits – generally referred to as ‘group litigation’ in England – have failed to provide results for individuals whose data and information have been misused or inadequately protected.

Exercise of the right to be forgotten in Turkey in terms of search engine results

Nearly a quarter of the way into the 21st century, technology continues to be one of the areas where humanity has made the fastest progress. Although the ease of data access is one of the most important opportunities provided by technology, this convenience has negatively affected the right to privacy and created the risk of data being accessible indefinitely. The concept of the right to be forgotten has become prominent in order to strike a balance between privacy of individuals on the one hand and the public interest and freedom of expression on the other.

The article examines the need for the CCI to be driven by a fact-based approach in light of the jurisprudence from other mature regulators.

Recent developments in EU antitrust enforcement against big tech

The approach currently adopted by competition authorities around the world against so-called big tech hides two main risks, namely the delay in respect of innovation processes that may cause the actions undertaken turn out to be vain and the antitrust over-enforcement. This second feature, particularly, is strictly related to the position that enforcers are prone to adopt on competition law goals, which debate has massively re-emerged in the present context
