Following the Federal Court’s significant judgment in ASIC v Noumi Ltd in 2024, the Full Court has now made orders allowing the appeals and finding that Noumi did not waive privilege in the PwC report by disclosing it to ASIC under a voluntary disclosure agreement. While the Full Court’s decision confirms that VDA arrangements can be an effective way to maintain legal professional privilege, Bryony Adams, Andrew Eastwood and Maritsa Samios explore why its reasons underscore the need for care to be taken before commissioning an investigation report, and entering into any limited waiver arrangement, such as VDAs.…
 
Scheme mergers are common enough – but not like this one. The Arcadia case involved a merger of schemes in winding-up, with an overfunded scheme effectively bailing out a scheme in deficit. Why did the Court give its blessing? And what does this tell us about trustee powers and duties? Pensions Counsel Rob Klepka joins to discuss. Subscribe to the HSF Pensions Notes Blog here .…
 
Following the publication of the long-awaited Government Guidance on reasonable fraud prevention procedures, this episode seeks to help organisations prepare for failure to prevent fraud, the new offence which will come into effect on 1 September 2025. As part of this episode, Kate Meakin, Elizabeth Head and Alexandra Fitzgerald discuss the Guidance and in particular how organisations should be implementing its principles-based approach. While the Guidance is not prescriptive, it does provide some helpful advice on what the Government intended by 'reasonable' fraud prevention procedures, which the speakers explore as well as providing some practical considerations that organisations should be giving thought to now and how they can best prepare over the coming months. You can also read our accompanying briefing on this topic, which is available on our blog .…

As ESG remains top of the agenda for many regulators in the UK and across Europe, we wanted our first episode in 2025 to bring you up to speed on some of the main ESG developments in the UK in 2024 from a regulatory perspective, and what we expect to see at the intersection between ESG and competition / consumer regulation in the UK this year.

In this episode we cross examine Alastair MacGibbon, Chief Strategy Officer at CyberCX and one of Australia’s leading cyber security commentators. Alastair works with corporate Australia to advise on cyber risk, respond to incidents and build cyber resilience. Alastair has had a remarkable career, with 15 years in the Australian Federal Police, where he established Australia’s High Tech Crime Centre. He then went on to hold senior cyber security and safety roles across the private sector, including head of eBay’s Asia Pacific Trust & Safety team. Upon rejoining the public service, Alastair was appointed Australia’s inaugural eSafety Commissioner, before going on to roles as National Cyber Security Adviser, head of the Australian Cyber Security Centre and Special Adviser to the Prime Minister on Cyber Security. We recorded this discussion last year, at the back-end of a cold Canberra winter…but we saved the conversation for our summer holiday special. Our conversation is wide ranging, looking at the threat landscape, the keys to good cyber advice, Alastair’s varied (and similar) experiences working in the private and public sectors and guidance on corporate governance. Alastair is well known and very well regarded in board rooms across the country, and his observations on good governance are incredibly insightful. I hope you enjoy the discussion. This is Cross Examining Alastair MacGibbon. Here we go……
