Memorandum of Understanding in UK Law

    The evidence demonstrates also, in our view clearly and without ambiguity, that the aim of the violence was not limited to delivering for Mr Mugabe victory in the run-off vote, but to ensure that the MDC support base was sufficiently dismantled as to ensure that it ceased to exist in any meaningful way as to remain a threat to Zanu-PF's hold on power.

    Even though a form of agreement has now been reached in these talks, it remains to be seen whether that will bring about any reduction in the level of risk to those not able to demonstrate loyalty to Zanu-PF. After all, the Memorandum of Understanding that was signed by Mr Mugabe on behalf of his party and the regime contained assurances about the cessation of politically related violence but that has not been delivered.

  • R (Evans) v Secretary of State for Defence
    • Queen's Bench Division (Administrative Court)
    • 25 Junio 2010

    The responsibilities of UK armed forces are only to arrest and detain personnel where permitted under ISAF rules of engagement. Detainees are to be treated in accordance with applicable provisions of international human rights law. Detainees are to be transferred to the authorities of Afghanistan at the earliest opportunity, where suitable facilities exist. Where such facilities are not in existence, the detainee will either be released or transferred to an ISAF approved holding facility.

  • Masri v Consolidated Contractors International UK Ltd and Others (No. 2)
    • Queen's Bench Division (Commercial Court)
    • 20 Diciembre 2007

    Mr. Khoury and Mr. Masri were both in London at the beginning of November 1992, so they agreed to meet at the office of CCUK, being a convenient location in London. They discussed the matter at the meeting in CCUK's offices. They agreed that a document should be signed incorporating their understanding reached at the meeting and that they would meet again that evening at Mr. Khoury's home in London, where a document would be signed.

  • Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Saeed Bin Shakhboot Al Nehayan v Ioannis Kent (Aka John Kent)
    • Queen's Bench Division (Commercial Court)
    • 22 Febrero 2018

    Such ‘relational’ contracts involve trust and confidence but of a different kind from that involved in fiduciary relationships. The trust is not in the loyal subordination by one party of its own interests to those of another. It is trust that the other party will act with integrity and in a spirit of cooperation. The legitimate expectations which the law should protect in relationships of this kind are embodied in the normative standard of good faith.

  • RB (Algeria) v Secretary of State for the Home Department
    • House of Lords
    • 18 Febrero 2009

    I do not consider that these decisions establish a principle that assurances must eliminate all risk of inhuman treatment before they can be relied upon. It is obvious that if a State seeks to rely on assurances that are given by a country with a record for disregarding fundamental human rights it will need to show that there is good reason to treat the assurances as providing a reliable guarantee that the deportee will not be subjected to such treatment.

  • Serdar Mohammed & Others v Secretary of State for Defence
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 30 Julio 2015

    As to whether that regime satisfied the requirements of independence and impartiality, we know that the core membership included the Commanding Officer of the Intelligence Exploitation Force and the Force Provost Marshal. For these reasons, we also doubt that the new regime was sufficiently independent, although our doubts are of a lesser order than those concerning the former Detention Authority regime.
