Revealed: Slater and Gordon’s UK shakeup plan
First details have emerged of the UK restructuring and office closure programme planned by embattled firm Slater and Gordon.Sources have disclosed that talks have begun on the future of offices in Bristol, Halifax, Newcastle and Liverpool (Waterloo). There are also proposals to close personal injury departments at offices in Birmingham and London.It is unclear how many staff are affected by the potential closures, but existing staff will be given priority when applying for jobs elsewhere in the UK group.Slater and Gordon faced a 31 March deadline for presenting its reorganisation plans to lenders after posting trading losses of nearly £500m last month. It has yet to make any announcement on progress to the Australian Securities Exchange.The new-look business will have three principal divisions: fast-track personal injury claims; serious and specialised personal injury law; and general law. This will result in consolidation in major city centre offices and the closure of some regional offices.The firm will close its Derby office from 30 June, with one staff member accepting a new role in Sheffield.The Sheffield office itself is also subject to consultation over a proposal to stop PI multi-track work at that site.Talks are underway with trade union Unite on plans for the offices acquired along with Walker Smith Way.The Ashton office is likely to close, with PI work stopping at Preston, Wrexham and Chester. The Chester office will be a strategic location for serious and specialist PI and general law.Meanwhile the firm will scale back work on noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) after acquiring thousands of such claims through the buy-up of Quindell’s professional services division. NIHL activity will cease at Aldershot from 6 May, while this work will also stop at Blackpool and Liverpool.At Fareham, talks are ongoing with motor claims staff regarding the closure of the operation there.Talks about transferring staff in the costs division based in Cardiff, Manchester and London have started, with a view to their moving to SGSL Compass Costs Solutions.A buyer has been found for the Accident Claims Helpline, with had been threatened with closure and 75 redundancies. This takeover was completed at the end of March.The reorganisation will not affect any current traineeships or any accepted training contract offers for September 2016 and 2017 at Slater and Gordon Lawyers, although the range of seats available may be limited. However, current and future trainees with Slater and Gordon Solutions could be affected, subject to consultation.Two key figures in the UK business are to return to Australia, including Cath Evans, chief executive of personal injury law. Head of HR Rachael Kelly will leave on 15 April to return to the Australian business.Slater and Gordon declined to comment on specific details of the restructuring.
Christopher Martin’s back with new single “Come Back”
Reggae singer Christopher Martin is back with a new single and video.“Come Back,” by Martin, was produced and written by Llamar “Riff Raff” Brown with and is the first single off his upcoming album on VP records, set to be released later this summer.“Come Back” is about a love torn apart and the quest to get that love back. The singer explores the cusp of many genres as the song is laced with pop, R&B and soft rock influences without sacrificing his traditional reggae/dancehall sound. Passionately powerful, the track is the perfect addition to Martin’s impressive catalog of music, including hits “Cheater’s Prayer,” “I’m a Big Deal,” “Under the Influence” and “Magic,” off his 2017 debut album, “Big Deal.”

Six UK basketball recruits to play on TV tonight
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The big question for Kentucky basketball, after seven underclassmen declared for the NBA draft last week, is what next season’s Wildcats will look like. The Jordan Brand Classic might provide a few clues on Friday night.Seven UK recruits – three signees and four five-star targets – will participate in the last of the major high school all-star games, which is set for 8 p.m. in Brooklyn, N.Y. (TV: ESPN2). Future Cats Skal Labissiere, Isaiah Briscoe and Charles Matthews will play together on the East team, which also includes uncommitted forwards Jaylen Brown and Cheick Diallo.The West squad features guard Malik Newman, who is also undecided. Kentucky coach John Calipari, suddenly with several open roster spots, is in hot pursuit of Brown, Diallo and Newman, all four of whom are top-10 overall prospects nationally.Jordan games to have 4 UK, 3 U of L signeesHe has to hope his three signees are doing some recruiting themselves this week, because while the Cats already have a strong class – Labissiere (6-foot-11) is rated the nation’s top center, Briscoe (6-3) the No. 3 shooting guard and Matthews (6-5) a top-75 overall prospect – there is an unusual level of uncertainty about how Calipari will fill it out.“In the past, you’d expect Kentucky to reel in some guys in the spring, and they still might, but this group of kids is different,” said Evan Daniels, national recruiting analyst for Scout.com. “All along, there hasn’t really been a player that you look at and say, ‘Hey, he’s definitely going to Kentucky.’ Usually there is.Five-stars Labissiere, Briscoe pick Kentucky“I suspect they’ll get one of those guys. I think they’ll get at least one, just based on history. But picking out which of these guys they’re going to get, that’s the hard part.”Here’s the good news for fretting fans: What the Wildcats already have is plenty impressive. Labissiere’s star is on the rise after a breakout performance at the Nike Hoop Summit last week, after which DraftExpress.com moved him up to its projected No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.Daniels said Labissiere also could move up to the No. 1 spot in the 2015 recruiting class when Scout updates its rankings.“I started seeing it coming in December. I think the reason (other) people are so excited now is because he has so much potential on the offensive end,” Daniels said. “He has the measurables – 6-11, long arms, mobile, good feet, great hands, great touch – and he can score the ball in so many ways. At Nike Hoop Summit, he was doing it by making jump shots, but he was also doing it with hooks with each hand. And he’s becoming a pretty good shot blocker. So this is a big-time prospect.”Play VideoPlayMuteCurrent Time 0:00/Duration Time 0:00Loaded: 0%0:00Progress: 0%0:00 Progress: 0%Stream TypeLIVERemaining Time -0:00 Playback Rate1ChaptersChaptersdescriptions off, selectedDescriptionssubtitles off, selectedSubtitlescaptions settings, opens captions settings dialogcaptions off, selectedCaptionsAudio TrackFullscreenThis is a modal window.

So, yeah, they should be excited.”For Louisville fans, Cardinals signee Donovan Mitchell will be playing earlier Friday in the Jordan Brand Regional Game, which features other top players from the Northeast.

Mayor Lino Cayetano has commended the arrest of 16 individuals who violated community quarantine rules in Bgy. Lower Bicutan in Taguig on Sept. 12. Taguig Mayor Lino Cayetano (Facebook)The 16 were nabbed while having a drinking session at a birthday celebration and not wearing face masks and not observing social distancing. A netizen sent photos of the drinking session to the Facebook account of the Joint Task Force (JTF) COVID Shield.“The City Government of Taguig would like to congratulate COVID Shield Task Force Commander Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar for the arrest by his men, together with the Taguig police led by Col. Celso Rodriguez, of these individuals who were found in violation of City Ordinance No. 27-89 that prohibits drinking in public places,” Cayetano said. He said the suspects were “later charged with violating Article 151 of the Revised Penal Code for resistance and disobedience to a person in authority.”Eleazar identified the arrested individuals as Michael Quijou, 21; Ralph Cruz, 19; Nichole Cruz, 21; Ian Augala, 21; Christian Pregil, 21; Paul Belarmino, 21; Enen Sison, 21; Jojo Angala, 39; Jackie Bosque, 37; Franz Pascua, 19; Monica Reyes, 19; Kevin John de Guzman, 23; Ivan Pacete, 21; Gabriel Inserto, 21; Mark Anthony Ortigas, 21; and a 17-year old female.“Taguig City will continue to pursue violators of health and safety protocols. The city takes pride in being among the cities with the lowest active Covid-19 cases in Metro Manila. Taguig’s citizens are mostly disciplined and cooperative but like any city, it faces challenges,” according to Cayetano. He said Taguig has activated the Tapang Malasakit Disiplina team composed of 1,000 members to help the police in enforcing “the city’s new normal ordinance that aims to help stop the spread of COVID-19.” Cayetano said “Taguig is among the cities with the lowest active cases in Metro Manila because of its aggressive approach in implementing rules and regulations.”“Although the city’s comprehensive approach is centered on compassion and education, partnering with individuals and institutions to fight the virus, the city continues to vow to pursue cases against individuals and establishments that are not cooperating,” he added.
