Social housing providers collect and store information about the huge number of individuals they serve, so a clear understanding of both the legislation and the practicalities of handling personal data is critical.Unfortunately, there are many myths about data protection, from needing consent to process any personal data, to organisations being prevented from helping vulnerable people due to data protection laws. These myths, and more, are addressed and debunked in this book.With clear advice and a pragmatic approach, this is the book that the author wanted and needed when working in a large housing association on data protection. As well as explaining the legal requirements, this book highlights the many benefits to housing providers, from handling personal data in a compliant manner, including improved efficiency and increased customer trust, which both help landlords fulfil their social purpose more effectively.This book shows everyone working in housing, not just data protection officers, how data protection can go from being seen as red tape or a blocker, to becoming the foundation on which to achieve the sector's goals. It doesn't just lay out the law, it also contains actionable advice and ideas for identifying risks and appropriate controls, and embedding data protection into the day-to-day work of social housing providers.ABOUT THE AUTHORWith a background in quality assurance and risk management, before specialising in data protection, as well as almost two decades in social housing, Clare Paterson has a holistic understanding of both the business risks and people-centered risks connected to data, and helps people to identify and control these risks, while continually expanding her own knowledge.Clare is committed to providing the support she knows those working with data need, from her own experience, and does this as the founder of the Hive, a free online group for data professionals in values-led sectors, and the Hive Live, an in-person conference with interactive workshops as well as expert speakers, as well as writing blog posts and articles that have featured in varied publications, and speaking at events all over the UK. She works with clients through her own consultancy, CP Data Protection, and also worked with Anthony Collins Solicitors for over 5 years, providing advice and training. Clients describe her as "friendly, professional and flexible", having a "warm and friendly approach" and her work as "excellent quality." Clare balances her work with family life, listening to rock music and podcasts (and making a true crime podcast too), and drinking too much coffee.CONTENTSChapter One - Introduction to Data Protection in Social HousingChapter Two - Data Protection Officer Role & ResponsibilitiesChapter Three - Personal DataChapter Four - The (UK)GDPR PrinciplesChapter Five - Lawful Bases for Data ProcessingChapter Six - Data Subjects' RightsChapter Seven - International Data TransfersChapter Eight - Data Sharing and Data Processors & ControllersChapter Nine - Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)Chapter Ten - Data Security, Breaches and ComplaintsChapter Eleven - Digital Transformation in Social HousingChapter Twelve - CCTV and ASBChapter Thirteen - Insight and EDI WorkChapter Fourteen - Contacting People (Including PECR and the TSMs)Chapter Fifteen - What Next?
Taken from over twenty five years in advising on roads matters, this work provides an up-to-date guide to roads law in Scotland, focussing on how roads law impacts on the development of land. It considers the key characteristics of a road and how roads are distinguished from other rights in land such as public rights of way, servitudes and access rights. It considers the circumstances in which roads can be created, the extent of roads (both horizontal and vertical) as well as consenting requirements for the construction of roads and private accesses.This practical guide explains the various mechanisms for regulation of roads including road maintenance, installation of apparatus and control of works in a road. Road traffic regulation orders are considered in detail, as are other emerging forms of road regulation such as low emission zones and workplace parking licensing schemes. The powers and procedures for various forms of stopping up order are also explored.The importance of transport and planning policy are explained, including the implications of the national planning framework now being part of the development plan. Consideration is also given to how roads issues are addressed within the development management system, including recent case law on use of planning obligations and planning conditions, as well as the possible future implications of the proposed infrastructure levy and masterplan consent areas.ABOUT THE AUTHORMichael Greig is a Legal Director at DLA Piper with over twenty five years' experience in planning and roads law, including extensive in-house local authority experience.

National Bestseller"A powerful and important picture of how mega law firms distort justice."?David Cay Johnston, Washington PostThe NYT's Business Investigations Editor reveals the dark side of American law: Delivering a "devastating" (Carol Leonnig) exposé of the astonishing yet shadowy power wielded by the world's largest law firms, David Enrich traces how one firm shielded opioid makers, gun companies, big tobacco, Russian oligarchs, Fox News, the Catholic Church, and much of the Fortune 500; helped Donald Trump get elected, govern, and evade investigation; masterminded the conservative remaking of the courts . . . and make a killing along the way.In his acclaimed #1 bestseller Dark Towers, David Enrich presented the never-before-told saga of how Deutsche Bank became the global face of financial recklessness and criminality. Now Enrich turns his eye towards the world of ?Big Law? and the nearly unchecked influence these firms wield to shield the wealthy and powerful?and bury their secrets. To tell this story, Enrich focuses on Jones Day, one of the world's largest law firms. Jones Day's narrative arc?founded in Cleveland in 1893, it became the first law firm to expand nationally and is now a global juggernaut with deep ties to corporate interests and conservative politics?is a powerful encapsulation of the changes that have swept the legal industry in recent decades.Since 2016, Jones Day has been in the spotlight for representing Donald Trump and his campaigns (and now his PACs)?and for the fleet of Jones Day attorneys who joined his administration, including White House Counsel Don McGahn. Jones Day helped Trump fend off the Mueller investigation and challenged Obamacare. Its once and future lawyers defended Trump's Muslim ban and border policies and handled his judicial nominations. Jones Day even laid some of the legal groundwork for Trump to challenge the legitimacy of the 2020 election.But the Trump work is but one chapter in the firm's checkered history. Jones Day, like many of its peers, have become highly effective enablers of the business world's worst misbehavior. The firm has for decades represented Big Tobacco in its fight to avoid liability for its products. Jones Day worked tirelessly for the Catholic Church as it tried to minimize its sexual-abuse scandals. And for Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, as it sought to protect its right to make and market its dangerously addictive drug. And for Fox News as it waged war against employees who were the victims of sexual harassment and retaliation. And for Russian oligarchs as their companies sought to expand internationally.In this gripping and revealing new work of narrative nonfiction, Enrich makes the compelling central argument that law firms like Jones Day play a crucial yet largely hidden role in enabling and protecting powerful bad actors in our society, housing their darkest secrets, and earning billions in revenue for themselves.
Land can be defined as that solid surface (dry land) of the Earth which is not covered by a body of water. It has a fundamental separation from water on the planet. Land is the most powerful asset in the world due to its high demand rate in all aspect of development. Ghana, having a total land size of 238, 539 square kilometres is rich in land and natural resources. The country's political and material strength and sustainable development is therefore built on such asset.This book seeks to address the bottlenecks in acquiring right to land in Ghana and provide solution for the way forward. Equity of land, land ownership, land right and the tenure system in Ghana has been explained. The various processes involved in acquiring a parcel of land (from purchase to title/deed registration) have been elaborated. Where and how to get a land free from encumbrances for all sort of socio-economic development has also been established. Introductions to the cadaster system, deed and title registration in Ghana have been reviewed. The land enterprise in Ghana has a lot of challenges as a result of rapid urbanization, high demand-driven in the land market and weak institutional framework. These challenges have been reviewed in this book with recommended solutions.In this book you will find biblical quotes as well as Islamic position on land. I therefore recommend that you grab a copy for your family.
Across the globe and particularly in America, basic democratic tenets supposedly stand on principles of fairness and equity, but almost everything we've done and are doing rejects that these ideals are important to us. Instead, we consciously or subconsciously embrace a predilection and desire for preferential treatment for preferred people. Nowhere is our support of preference starker than in the way "racial haves" sustain their mistreatment of the "racial have-nots." It occurs in every facet of American life and is evident across the globe. This book examines a single area of our culture: housing in the US which operates against the backdrop of unrelenting segregation policies and practices in all facets of the industry. So vitriolic is the housing industry against people of color, particularly African Americans, that even sweeping legislation like the Fair Housing Act itself could not stamp out the offensive systemic actions within the housing industry. Acknowledging the depths of prejudice supported by centuries of falsehoods and malevolence, the author calls for transformational change in American culture to reach racial balance in housing and concomitant industries.
