To Catch the Cheshire Cat: Freezing Injunction Jurisdiction at the Click of a Mouse

Since its emergence in 1975, the English freezing injunction has grown to have a robust and global extraterritorial reach, but its exercise in extreme cases is jurisdictionally unsound. The “real connecting link” between assets and forum required for the grant of a worldwide freezing order in aid of foreign proceedings has become significantly looser, notably with an element of fraud acting as catalyst. This jurisdictional link is further weakened by the receding of reciprocity imperatives between the United Kingdom and member states of the European Union following Brexit. In its place is the enforcement principle, enabling a high degree of tenuousness in the jurisdictional link, most vividly seen in the recent issuances of freezing orders of cryptocurrency assets against defendants worldwide and unknown. Common sense and pragmatism offer a catch-all explanation—fraudulent defendants must not be allowed to get away. But this comes at the cost of clear jurisdictional justification. In contrast, U.S. courts have shown a much more consistent and reasonable jurisdiction in its provisional measures while weathering heavy criticisms for lacking similar pre-judgment measures. The resulting evaluation of policy justifications drawn on national considerations, the first of its kind on freezing injunction jurisdiction, suggests that English courts will maintain the current extraterritorial reach of freezing injunction due to its limited impact on comity

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT TRENDS OF LATGALE REGION NEWSPAPERS (1998 – 2017)

The aim of the paper is to find out how the design of regional newspapers has changed and what cultural and social factors have affected it.  The paper analyses the design of Latgale region newspapers “Latgales Laiks, “Rēzeknes Vēstis”, “Vaduguns” in three periods from 1998 to 2017. A comparative analysis is made, analysing the processes that have affected the visual communication of cover pages and the content. Content analysis is used as a research method to achieve the aim. In the study, a total of 270 regional newspapers were analysed. During the period from 1998 to 2008, there were changes in the design of the newspapers that took place under the influence of cultural and social factors: higher-quality photographs, colourful content, original design solutions, and official websites of newspapers etc. The changes were found in all three of design disciplines, while the detected newspaper design changes in the period from 2008 to 2017 had not affected the overall visual image of the newspapers

Down the rabbit hole: Professional identities, professional learning, and change in one Australian school

This study takes researcher and reader down the rabbit hole of story with its unique approach to the phenomena of professional identity, professional learning, and school change. It examines the perspectives of 14 educators: a range of teachers and leaders in one independent Australian school and in the context of a teacher growth intervention. Set against the backdrop of the global push for teacher quality, and consequent worldwide initiatives in the arenas of teacher professional learning and school change, the study generates context-specific connections between lived critical moments of identity formation, learning, and leading. A bricolaged paradigmatic stance weaves together a social constructionist, phenomenological approach to narrative inquiry. Data were generated primarily from individual narrative-eliciting interviews, of the researcher, two teachers, and 11 school leaders. Extended literary metaphor and known literary characters operate as a symbolic and structural frame. Alice, the White Rabbit, and the Cheshire Cat, from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, are analytical tools for the presentation and analysis of the perspectives of researcher, teacher, and leader participants. While the study set out to explore the ways in which educators’ experiences of professional learning (trans)form their senses of professional identity, it found that it is not just professional learning, but epiphanic life experiences, which shape professional selves and practices. School context, and the alignment of the individual with the collective, emerged as key factors for individual and school change. Transformation of educators’ identities and practices was evident in environments which were supportive, challenging, and growth focused, rather than evaluation driven. Identity formation, individual professional growth, and collective school change were revealed to be unpredictable, fluid processes in which small, unexpected moments can have far-reaching effects. The findings have implications for the theorisation of identities, and the research and implementation of professional learning and school change
