The lockdown has affected work and the workplace in ways that are plain to see. There are boarded-up shops, a largely idle hospitality sector, and vast numbers of people working from home, necessitating unprecedented levels of financial support by the State.
But although it sometimes feels as if the earth has stopped rotating on its axis, it hasn’t. Sooner or later the crisis will have passed. So it’s worth asking whether some or all of the changes we have seen this past year will endure. Questions have emerged, for example, about the viability of city centre offices and retail.

In Short
The Issue: The UK Supreme Court was asked to decide whether section 2 of the Criminal Justice Act 1987 granted the Serious Fraud Office ( SFO ) powers to compel the production of documents held outside the United Kingdom.
Going Forward: The SFO cannot use its section 2 powers to compel the production of material held outside the jurisdiction by a non-UK citizen or registered company. It must use established international systems for mutual legal assistance to obtain evidence that is held overseas. This clear delineation of the territorial scope of the SFO s jurisdiction is welcome news for overseas companies with business in the United Kingdom.
