This past week in London, several significant legal developments have unfolded. Among them, the now-defunct German airline, Air Berlin, has initiated legal proceedings against its former auditor, KPMG. This action follows in the wake of contentious financial oversight issues associated with the airline’s collapse. Meanwhile, a libel claim has been launched against an associate editor of The Spectator by a mosque, linked to allegations arising from August’s far-right riots.
Furthermore, the Performing Right Society, a British licensing authority, has filed a lawsuit against Parklife Manchester and four other festival organizers. The claims pertain to the unauthorized use of copyrighted music during events.
