Are the UK’s counter-terrorism laws being used for public safety or to silence dissent?

A startling shift in the UK counter-terrorism landscape has emerged from recent Home Office statistics. The Guardian reports that almost half of all terrorism-related arrests in Great Britain since 2001 occurred in the single year ending March 2026. This unprecedented surge directly coincides with the proscription of the protest group Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act.

Commenting on the reality of these enforcement actions, Partner Raj Chada pointed out the unprecedented nature of who is now being targeted under these anti-terror frameworks. As the UK Supreme Court prepares to hear the legal challenge to this ban, the boundary between national security and the right to protest remains under intense scrutiny.

A relationship breakdown can sometimes raise difficult questions about where a child should live and the impact on parents living internationally across multiple jurisdictions.

Partner, Raj Bhattoa and Legal Assistant, Robert Jackson examine a recent High Court case concerning a British father, a Chinese mother and their young daughter. The case considered whether returning the child to Mainland China would genuinely serve her best interests, considering the approach to custody, contact, enforcement and relocation there.

The decision provides an important reminder of the value of early, coordinated international family law advice where parents are living in non-Convention countries.

The law on international child abduction is changing, with a new offence set to address the retention of a child abroad without appropriate consent.

A change to the law that could have significant implications for international child abduction cases.
