E-scooting through the law
The legal minefield of private and public e-scooters; space law for rockets and satellites; new regulations for coal tips in Wales and a DJ barrister with no GCSEs.
It鈥檚 illegal to ride a private e-scooter on public roads or pavements 鈥� but the rules for the new, council approved e-scooter rental schemes are different. We navigate the maze of laws and regulations to ask what鈥檚 allowed, required or illegal.
Billionaires are about to fly into space, but what is the legal framework for this? What if your rocket hits my satellite? We boldly go into space law.
Why coal tip laws brought in following the Aberfan disaster do not protect the public and need to be reformed.
And the changing face of the legal profession 鈥� criminal barrister Mark Robinson shows that lawyers come from a greater range of backgrounds now 鈥� he didn鈥檛 have any GCSEs, but a career as a DJ.
