As most people are aware, in the past 12 months or so it has become easier for various commodities to be exported to China.

With recent changes to employer obligations, employment law has become an issue which has captured widespread attention across various sectors.

As most people would be aware, the Hydrogen and Renewable Energy Act 2023 passed through Parliament recently and we have been waiting for the Regulations to come into effect and for the Act to formally commence.

Feb 10, 2024 | mondaq.com | Anthony Kelly

In the past 12 months, there have been some fairly significant changes to the law. As is often the case, it's hard to know whether these changes have been a good thing or not for those in the agricultural sector - the end result is they are probably a mixed bag.
