	UK High Court rules in favour of Pinochet
		During the High Court hearing, Pinochet's lawyer, Clive Nicholls, QC, argued that arrest of a former head of state was not legally justified and both the original warrant and a second warrant from Spain were "fatally flawed".
		He further argued that a United Nations court would be the proper forum to take action against Pinochet, as a British court had no power to intervene in internal matters regarding Chile.
		While the High Court hearing was underway, Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told parliament that politicians must not be seen to be influencing the law regarding Pinochet's arrest.

		A high court judge refused to intervene yesterday to stop the husband of a woman with a degenerative brain disease taking her to Switzerland for an assisted suicide, even though the man could be committing a criminal offence.
		The authority obtained the temporary injunction pending a ruling from the high court on whether it had a duty to act.
		Jenny Richards, briefed by the official solicitor to assist the court, said Mrs Z's illness meant she would lose the ability to swallow and then could legally refuse treatment to be fed artificially - "a far less dignified death than the one she has chosen".

	The Cyprus Question Before the European Court of Justice
		The Court of Justice also ruled that it was not for the member states concerned to take account of the reasons for which a phytosanitary certificate had not been issued in the country of origin of the plants, in determining whether the certificate complied with the requirements of the Plant Health Directive.
		The Court of Justice, however, held in Anastasiou II that it was physically and legally impossible for the member states to make detailed inquiries of the authorities of a non-member country which had issued a phytosanitary certificate as to how the examination which preceded the issue of the certificate was carried out.
		The Court of Appeal had even expressly accepted that `where, as here, the special requirements identified in relation to the relevant produce (originating outside the Community) fall within the exception provided for by Article 9 no official phytosanitary certificate has to be issued in the country of origin'.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| High court challenge over Iraqi civilian deaths
		During his opening statement to the court, Mr Singh read from a witness statement from Kifah Taha al-Mutari, who said that he, Mr Mousa and five other hotel workers had been arrested and taken to a British military base called Darul Dhyafa, where they were beaten on the neck, chest and genital areas.
		He said it was about whether the UK was "under a procedural duty to ensure that an independent and effective investigation is carried out into the circumstances of the deaths in order to see whether they were unlawful, and whether Mr Mousa's treatment before his death was unlawful".
		The Iraqis would have to go to the human rights court in Strasbourg, where judges would be able to sit in judgment "on the actions of this country's armed forces" while UK judges could not, he said.

	Cyprus bicommunal discussion and chat forum : UK High court stands by Orams ruling
		The move means that the UK courts could now enforce a Nicosia District Court judgment ordering the woman, Linda Orams, to demolish the house she built on Meletis Apostolides’ Lapithos land and return the property to him.
		Speaking at the Nicosia District Court yesterday shortly after Candounas had handed her the notice, Orams appeared calm — despite having arrived at the court believing she was there merely to hear a further adjournment of a contempt of court ruling pending her appeal to the Nicosia Supreme Court against the demolition ruling.
		The UK courts can not recognise jurisdiction of rulings in other member states when they relate to immovable property in those states is what I understand this to mean.

	BBC News \| UK \| High Court battle over Holocaust book
		Libel trials frequently generate high emotion - witness the extraordinary confrontation between Neil Hamilton and Mohammed al-Fayed at the High Court which ended just before Christmas.
		The case is not being heard in front a jury - both sides felt that the mass of documentation made it more appropriate for a judge alone - and the key moments are likely to turn on the testimony of some of the world's leading scholars on the Holocaust and Hitler's Germany.
		In its scope and sensitivity, this trial could be as explosive as the celebrated libel action fought at the High Court in the early 1960s between an Auschwitz doctor who carried out medical experiments on inmates and the author of Exodus, Leon Uris.

	Judge deems PS2 mod chips illegal in UK \| The Register
		The UK High Court has judged that the sale, advertisement, possession for commercial purposes and use of PlayStation 2 modification chips is illegal in this country.
		The Messiah chips were offered as a way to allow UK PS2s not only to play legitimate US and Japanese games, but pirated titles and back-up copies made by users, which Sony forbids in the UK.
		Earlier this year, the Italian court ruled that mod chips are legal on the basis that it's up to the user, not Sony, how they use their PS2.
