The High Court of South Africa is a superior court of law in South Africa. At present it is divided into seven provincial divisions, some of which sit in more than one location. Two further divisions are in the process of being established. Each High Court division has general jurisdiction over a defined geographical area in which it is situated, and the decisions of a division are binding on magistrates' courts within its area of jurisdiction. The High Court has jurisdiction over all matters, but it usually only hears civil matters involving more than 100,000 rand, and serious criminal cases. It also hears any appeals or reviews from magistrates' courts and other lower courts.
The High Court of New Zealand is a superior court of New Zealand. It was established in 1841 and known as the Supreme Court of New Zealand until 1980.
The High Court has general jurisdiction and responsibility, under the Judicature Act 1908, as well as the High Court Rules, for the administration of justice throughout New Zealand. Jurisdiction extends over both criminal and civil matters, and deals with cases at first instance or on appeal from other courts and certain tribunals.
Composition and locations
The High Court comprises the Chief Justice of New Zealand (who is head of the Judiciary) and up to 55 other Judges (which includes the Judges of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal). The administrative head of the court is known as the Chief High Court Judge. Associate Judges of the High Court (formerly known as Masters) supervise the Court's preliminary processes in most civil proceedings, and have jurisdiction to deal with summary judgment applications, company liquidations, bankruptcy proceedings, and some other types of civil proceedings.
The First Deemster is President of the High Court and has responsibility for the distribution of the work of the High Court. The Judge of Appeal, a part-time appointment, can only sit in the Appeal Division. Unless the parties otherwise consent, the quorum of the Appeal Division is at least two judges of the High Court. A Deemster may not sit on an appeal from his own judgment or order. At present there is a panel of Acting Deemsters, who may be called upon to assist in the discharge of the business of the High Court.
History
The High Court of Justice of the Isle of Man came into existence on 1 January 1884. It merged the former Courts of Chancery, Court of Exchequer, Court of the Staff of Government, Court of Common Law and Court of Admiralty and the Deemster’s Courts. Its judges were the Lieutenant Governor, the Clerk of the Rolls and the two Deemsters. It consisted of a Chancery Division and Common Law Division with original jurisdiction, and a Staff of Government Division with appellate jurisdiction. The former summary jurisdiction of the Deemsters in contract, debt etc. was to be exercised by the Common Law Division.
Her Majesty's High Court of Justice in England (usually known as the High Court of Justice of England and Wales, the High Court of Justice or, simply, the High Court) is, together with the Court of Appeal and the Crown Court, one of the Senior Courts of England and Wales. Its name is abbreviated as EWHC for legal citation purposes.
The High Court deals at first instance with all high value and high importance cases, and also has a supervisory jurisdiction over all subordinate courts and tribunals, with a few statutory exceptions.
It has three main divisions: the Queen's Bench Division, the Chancery Division, and the Family Division. The jurisdictions overlap in some cases, and cases started in one division may be transferred by court order to another where appropriate. The differences of procedure and practice between divisions are partly historical, derived from the separate courts which were merged into the single High Court by the 19th-century Judicature Acts, but are mainly driven by the usual nature of their work, for example, conflicting evidence of fact is quite commonly given in person in the Queen's Bench Division, but evidence by affidavit is more usual in the Chancery Division which is primarily concerned with points of law.
Great Britain and Ireland was a set of special commemorativepostage stamps issued by the Royal Mail in 2006. The stamps were the final part of the British Journey series, which had previously featured Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales. It was available as mint stamps, as a presentation pack, stamps cards, and a first day cover.
British Journey series
These stamps are the final issue in the British Journey series; which started in 2003 with Scotland, followed in 2004 with Northern Ireland and Wales, and South West England in 2005. The series was brought to a premature end with this issue due to a lack of popularity amongst collectors.
Stamp details
The stamps were issued as a block of stamps, five wide by two deep. The photographs selected for this issue show no sky but are intended to demonstrate the colours and textures of the United Kingdom. All values are first class.
England were a progressive rock group active in the late 1970s, and briefly reformed in 2006. The band is notable for their album Garden Shed released on Arista Records, and for keyboardist Robert Webb playing a Mellotron sawn in half.
Biography
The band was formed in 1975 by drummer Mark Ibbotson, and, after a variety of prototype groups, stabilised around a line-up of himself, bassist Martin Henderson, guitarist Jamie Moses and keyboardist Robert Webb. Moses and Webb had previously collaborated on an unreleased album. Ibbottson owned a Mk II Mellotron, which Webb took an interest in, later saying "it opens up possibilities. It's having control like the conductor of an orchestra." To make the instrument portable, Webb sawed the instrument in half, rehousing the left-hand manual and the right-hand tapes (which contained the lead sounds on a Mk II model) it in a new case. After a number of gigs at the Hazlitt Theatre in Maidstone, Moses quit and was replaced by Franc Holland. In March 1976, immediately following a showcase gig that resulted in a contract with Arista Records, Ibbotson quit the band and was replaced by Jode Leigh.

The Isle of Man has been an area of interest for many Bitcoin companies as of late. The local government of this small British Crown Dependency, located in the middle of the Irish Sea, wants to attract Bitcoin businesses by adopting light regulation as well as providing accessible banking relationships and infrastructure for companies dealing in crypto. This business-friendly approach has made the island an ideal place for tech, aerospace and e-gaming companies to establish, which has been a great benefit for the local economy in the last few decades. As an example, the leading online gaming site Poker Stars now employs some 200 people on the island.

This appeal concerns the meaning of "disproportionate" in the context of that provision.
Facts
In 2004 Mr Andrewes obtained the post of Chief Executive Officer of a hospice by making a number of false or dishonestly inflated and misleading statements about his educational qualifications and experience in his application for that role. He remained employed in that role until 2015. During that time he also successfully applied to other remunerated offices at two NHS trusts on the basis of the same falsehoods plus one more about having obtained a doctorate (PhD.) from Plymouth University. His employment and appointments came to an end when the truth about his qualifications started to emerge. He was prosecuted and pleaded guilty to three counts, including obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception contrary to s.16(1) of the Theft Act 1968 and fraud by false representation under the Fraud Act 2006. He was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment for those offences.
The Director of Public Prosecutions sought a confiscation order under section 6(5) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. The Crown Court found that, by pleading guilty, Mr Andrewes had accepted that he had benefited from the wrongdoing. The Crown Court concluded that it would not be disproportionate within the meaning of section 6(5) of the 2002 Act to make a confiscation order in the sum of the recoverable amount of the benefit obtained by Mr Andrewes and accordingly made such an order. The Court of Appeal allowed Mr Andrewes’ appeal and quashed the order. The Director of Public Prosecutions now appeals to the Supreme Court.

During that time he also successfully applied to other remunerated offices at two NHS trusts on the basis of the same falsehoods plus one more about having obtained a doctorate (PhD.) from Plymouth University. His employment and appointments came to an end when the truth about his qualifications started to emerge. He was prosecuted and pleaded guilty to three counts, including obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception contrary to s.16(1) of the Theft Act 1968 and fraud by false representation under the Fraud Act 2006. He was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment for those offences.
The Director of Public Prosecutions sought a confiscation order under section 6(5) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. The Crown Court found that, by pleading guilty, Mr Andrewes had accepted that he had benefited from the wrongdoing. The Crown Court concluded that it would not be disproportionate within the meaning of section 6(5) of the 2002 Act to make a confiscation order in the sum of the recoverable amount of the benefit obtained by Mr Andrewes and accordingly made such an order. The Court of Appeal allowed Mr Andrewes’ appeal and quashed the order. The Director of Public Prosecutions now appeals to the Supreme Court.
Judgment appealed

The Isle of Man has been an area of interest for many Bitcoin companies as of late. The local government of this small British Crown Dependency, located in the middle of the Irish Sea, wants to attract Bitcoin businesses by adopting light regulation as well as providing accessible banking relationships and infrastructure for companies dealing in crypto. This business-friendly approach has made the island an ideal place for tech, aerospace and e-gaming companies to establish, which has been a great benefit for the local economy in the last few decades. As an example, the leading online gaming site Poker Stars now employs some 200 people on the island.
With the support of the Economic Development Department, the Isle of Man recently hosted Crypto Valley Summit to help promote their wiliness to work with Bitcoin companies. Siân Jones was at the event and captures this enthusiasm in three interviews, which we discuss on the show:
- Peter Greenhill, CEO of e-Gaming Development at Isle of Man Department of Economic Development
- Paul Davis, CEO of Counting House who specializes in payment solutions
- Archie Watt, Head of e-business and Micky Swindale, Head of Advisory at the global consultancy firm KPMG

The High Court of South Africa is a superior court of law in South Africa. At present it is divided into seven provincial divisions, some of which sit in more than one location. Two further divisions are in the process of being established. Each High Court division has general jurisdiction over a defined geographical area in which it is situated, and the decisions of a division are binding on magistrates' courts within its area of jurisdiction. The High Court has jurisdiction over all matters, but it usually only hears civil matters involving more than 100,000 rand, and serious criminal cases. It also hears any appeals or reviews from magistrates' courts and other lower courts.
A major reform of the criminal justice system was proposed in 2012 by the Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson as part of a drive to make it faster and simpler.

At the moment, it is legal for the media in the Isle of Man to report on court cases while giving full details, including name, address, and pictures of people charged with crimes even if they might be innocent and have not been convicted of anything. I think this is harmful and unnecessary. Let. me know what you think in the comments!

Issue
Section 6(5) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 provides that, if the Court has decided that the defendant benefited from the relevant wrongdoing or conduct then it must make a confiscation order requiring the defendant to pay the recoverable amount of that benefit, but that the requirement to make a confiscation order applies "only if, or to the extent that, it would not be disproportionate to require the defendant to pay the recoverable amount." This appeal concerns the meaning of "disproportionate" in the context of that provision.
Facts
In 2004 Mr Andrewes obtained the post of Chief Executive Officer of a hospice by making a number of false or dishonestly inflated and misleading statements about his educational qualifications and experience in his application for that role. He remained employed in that role until 2015. During that time he also successfully applied to other remunerated offices at two NHS trusts on the basis of the same falsehoods plus one more about having obtained a doctorate (PhD.) from Plymouth University. His employment and appointments came to an end when the truth about his qualifications started to emerge. He was prosecuted and pleaded guilty to three counts, including obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception contrary to s.16(1) of the Theft Act 1968 and fraud by false representation under the Fraud Act 2006. He was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment for those offences.
The Director of Public Prosecutions sought a confiscation order under section 6(5) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. The Crown Court found that, by pleading guilty, Mr Andrewes had accepted that he had benefited from the wrongdoing. The Crown Court concluded that it would not be disproportionate within the meaning of section 6(5) of the 2002 Act to make a confiscation order in the sum of the recoverable amount of the benefit obtained by Mr Andrewes and accordingly made such an order. The Court of Appeal allowed Mr Andrewes’ appeal and quashed the order. The Director of Public Prosecutions now appeals to the Supreme Court.
