Everyone is talking about SCIOs!

SCIOs or Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisations are a new type of vehicle specially designed for charities. SCIOs are like charitable companies in some ways but, unlike companies, they are regulated only by the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator (OSCR) and not Companies House. From 1 January 2012, charitable companies will be able to convert to SCIO joining [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blackaddersbusinesslegalnews.com&blog=13148966&post=585&subd=businesslegalnews&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1"/>

All I want for Christmas is…a Trade Mark!!

With the purveyors of doom queuing up to tell us how bad everything is, you’d be forgiven for thinking that nobody is doing anything positive (though I see that Google has patented technology for a driverless car, perhaps paving the way for future generations of Christmas partygoers to find an alternative way home). Times are [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blackaddersbusinesslegalnews.com&blog=13148966&post=579&subd=businesslegalnews&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1"/>

Employment Law Reforms

It is understandable that the government wants to reduce the cost of the employment tribunal system. On the other hand employers and employees who use the system want it to be as efficient and user friendly as possible. It is by no means certain that the latest reforms will successfully reconcile these objectives. The length [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blackaddersbusinesslegalnews.com&blog=13148966&post=566&subd=businesslegalnews&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1"/>

Teachers’ strike – consequences for employees

The announcement of strike action by Dundee’s school teachers is bad news for working parents. Parents who cannot make suitable childcare arrangements will be forced to take a day off work. This will not be covered by the legislation which gives the right to time off (without pay) to deal with family emergencies. This means [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blackaddersbusinesslegalnews.com&blog=13148966&post=561&subd=businesslegalnews&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1"/>
