Editor’s Note W
JULY 2014
elcome to July’s edition of Lawyer Monthly, where we’ll be taking a look at many of
the key stories that have been gracing the world’s legal news page over the last few weeks.
I can’t quite believe it has been two years since the London 2012 Olympics, but watching the opening ceremony has got me very excited for the Commonwealth Games being held in Scotland.
Amongst headlines this month, following the recent ‘right to be forgotten ruling’, Google is set to meet data regulators from across the European Union to discuss the implications of ruling. An EU court ruled in May that links to "irrelevant" and outdated data should be erased from searches on request, leading to censorship concerns. The decision, and Google's handling of requests, has been heavily debated. The UK's information commissioner for Google said he expects a "tsunami" of complaints relating to links people want removed. Google, which has publicly expressed its disagreement with the court's decision, is understood to have received more than 70,000 requests for links to be taken down since the court ruling was made.
As usual, we also have several features for you this month, including an exclusive Interview with Walter Boss and Nelly Iglesias, attorneys-at- law of the Swiss law firm Poledna Boss Kurer AG (PBK). As well as Mathys & Squire discussing the latest developments in the Apple Vs Samsung smartphone war. Janrain also provides us with an article on how social login can help interactive media meet evolving online defamation legislation.
As always, I hope you enjoy this month’s issue of Lawyer Monthly, and I look forward to bringing you more news and insight next month!
