Who owns the data generated by your wearable device?

It's a simple question, but the legal position is more complicated. Personal data is not something an individual simply “owns”. Instead, individuals have rights over their data, while organisations collecting and using it have responsibilities around how it is processed, shared and protected.

These issues were at the centre of our panel discussion as part of Glasgow Tech Week.

Chaired by David Gourlay, Partner in MFMac’s Manufacturing, Media & Technology team, the panel brought together Jude McCorry, CEO of Cyber and Fraud Centre Scotland, and MFMac Legal Directors Melissa Hall and Michael Vaughan.

The discussion explored the distinction between health and wellbeing data and the protections that apply to each, as well as the additional safeguards that can apply to sensitive health data.

As wearable technology develops, understanding these rights and responsibilities will become increasingly important, particularly when it comes to how data is collected, shared and protected.

Thank you to our panellists and everyone who joined the discussion.

Challenging established thinking can create new opportunities for clients.

Lucia Clark and Amy Cook in MFMac's Family Law team recently acted in a significant family law case that has resulted in an important court decision on the interpretation of long-standing Scottish legislation.

The judgment provides valuable guidance on what Scottish courts can do when one spouse cannot afford to fund legal representation during divorce proceedings and has the potential to improve access to justice for individuals facing financial disadvantage.

When a loved one dies because of someone else's negligence, understanding your rights can feel overwhelming.

As Nicola Edgar, Partner at MFMac, explains, a loss of society claim can provide financial recognition of the impact a wrongful death has on family members. Knowing who can claim, what evidence is required and how courts assess these cases is an important first step.

What if the way evidence is gathered becomes just as important as the evidence itself?

As Fiona Sasan, Partner at MFMac, explores, Scottish family courts are increasingly examining not only what evidence proves, but what the act of gathering it may reveal about a relationship.

Should family courts take a closer look at the methods used to obtain evidence, particularly where those methods resemble the very behaviours alleged to be abusive?

The way assets are divided on divorce can have a significant impact on a person's ability to move forward after a relationship ends.

In this article, Lucia Clark examines whether family law should give greater weight to domestic abuse when determining financial settlements, and how approaches to this issue differ in England and Scotland. The article also considers the reforms currently being discussed and what they could mean in practice.

Celebrating South Asian Heritage Month at MFMac

This year, we marked South Asian Heritage Month with a series of events across our Edinburgh and Glasgow offices, inspired by the theme Unity in Diversity.

From Bollywood dance and yoga sessions to insightful talks from Dr Saqib Razzaq from Colourful Heritage, colleagues came together to learn, connect and celebrate the rich cultures, histories and contributions of South Asian communities. We also enjoyed beautiful henna art by Amina khan from Henna Pop, fantastic South Asian food and meaningful conversations throughout the month.

Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the celebrations such a success.
