IT Law Clinic at UCC

The IT Law Clinic at University College Cork is now up and running.

At the clinic, law postgraduate students provide information to startups on issues of copyright law, data protection, electronic commerce law and web domain names.

The development of the IT Law Clinic builds on UCC’s membership of iLINC, the EU network of ICT Law Incubators (see www.ilincnetwork.eu).


The academic staff are Dr Darius Whelan and Professor Maeve McDonagh.

No fee will be charged for the provision of information.

Startups who wish to seek information on these issues should email d.whelan@ucc.ie.

Requests for information must be submitted in writing only; there is no telephone or interview service. Requests will be admitted on the following basis:

• The clinic deals with issues of copyright law, web domain names, electronic commerce law and data protection law;
• The clinic will not provide information on employment law or company law;
• The clinic will not provide information if litigation has commenced;
• A query will not be admitted if it is unduly complex;
• The startup must have a low annual turnover, normally a maximum of €100,000 p.a.;
• The clinic can normally only deal with queries during semester 1 of the academic year, i.e. September to November;
• If the clinic has sufficient queries for its workload, it cannot take further queries.

Information will be provided in consultation with one of our collaborating solicitors’ firms – McCullagh Wall, Ronan Daly Jermyn and O’Dowd Solicitors. Responses to queries will be provided in a timescale of approximately 4 to 5 weeks. Terms and conditions, notified to the startup, will apply to the information provided.

Copyright Law for Digital Teaching and Learning event

We held an event on Copyright Law for Digital Teaching and Learning in May 2014 and here is a brief report:

Funded by:
National Forum for Enhancement of Teaching and Learning - www.teachingandlearning.ie.

Theme:  Teaching for transitions - assisting learners in the transition from conventional learning to blended learning or e-learning

Date:  15 May 2014

Link to recording:  http://bit.ly/CDTL-15

Link to slides: http://www.slideshare.net/dariuswirl/presentations

Link to Storify: https://storify.com/dariuswirl/copyright-law-for-digital-teaching-and-learning-ma

Hashtag: #copyrightdtl   -  https://twitter.com/hashtag/CopyrightDTL

Pictures: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dariusw/sets/72157644862628692

Blog Post:  http://irishlawblog.blogspot.ie/2015/07/copyright-law-for-digital-teaching-and.html

Speakers:

Dr Louise Crowley, School of Law, University College Cork
Mr Jason Miles-Campbell, Manager, JiscLegal, Glasgow
Dr Eoin O'Dell, School of Law, Trinity College Dublin
Dr Darius Whelan, School of Law, University College Cork

Key insights from the day:

• In online learning materials, it is better from a copyright law perspective to direct users to find the material themselves rather than providing a copy to them
• The current educational exceptions regarding copyright are very narrow
• The Copyright Review Committee has made important proposals to update the law, but these have not been implemented
• Staff should familiarise themselves with the requirements of the Irish Copyright Licensing Agency (ICLA) licence.
• It can be valuable for an institution to have one team or central unit dealing with copyright
• If using images licensed under Creative Commons, it is important to always use proper attribution

Key contributions from the seminar to the broader Forum outlined theme: 

The seminar advised participants how to create learning materials (for blended and online modules) which comply with Irish copyright law and create assessment tools which comply with copyright law. It developed awareness of developments such as Creative Commons, Open Educational Resources and open source software.  It assisted participants to communicate relevant requirements of copyright law to learners who take part in modules.  Knowledge of these topics will enhance the abilities of participants to provide online or blended courses and enable learners to transition from conventional learning to e-learning.

IT Law Clinic at University College Cork

From September 2015, the School of Law at University College Cork will open an IT Law Clinic.

UCC law students will provide information to businesses in the IT sector on issues such as copyright law, web domain names, electronic commerce law and data protection law. 

Clinic activities will include training on provision of legal information, meetings with IT businesses, guest seminars and engagement in proposals for law reform.

The development of the IT law Clinic builds on UCC’s membership of iLINC, the EU network of ICT Law Incubators (see www.ilincnetwork.eu).

For more information on Intellectual Property and E Law at UCC see www.ucc.ie/law/lawonline/elaw/.

The IT Law Clinic module will be a 5-credit semester 1 LLM module (LW6612).  Students will be admitted  by means of application form and interview. 

For more information contact Dr Darius Whelan (d.whelan@ucc.ie) and Professor Maeve McDonagh (m.mcdonagh@ucc.ie)

Migrant Workers - Younis case update

I have previously blogged about the Muhammad Younis case.

In a surprising development yesterday, the Supreme Court upheld Mr Younis's appeal which means that he is now entitled to his award of more than €91,000 (see Irish Times report here). 

As Liam Thornton explains on humanrights.ie, Mr Younis won on the grounds that the High Court had exceeded its jurisdiction in reviewing the merits of the case.

The full Supreme Court decision is available here.  The decision was written by Murray J. (Hardiman J. and Mac Menamin J. concurring).  Mr Younis was supported in his case by the Migrant Rights Centre of Ireland.  Amnesty International made a submission as amicus curiae.

The Supreme Court's views about illegality and employment contracts

While the Supreme Court did not deliver a decision on the merits of the case, it did make strong statements about illegality and employment contracts.  These statements are not a binding part of the case (they are obiter dicta) but they still carry persuasive weight  and may influence future cases. 

At para. 52, the court states: "Traditional judicial dicta, in the older cases in particular, may have to be reviewed or nuanced in the light of the modern regulatory environment, and applied with the principle of proportionality in mind."  (see the fuller quote in Liam's post).

Murray J. continued (para.53):

I would, however, add, even though it is entirely hypothetical, that if the subject matter of the liability to be enforced involved something which was inherently immoral or inherently against the public interests, such as an agreement to rob or to distribute the proceeds of a robbery, then the issue of illegality and public policy would arise from a different perspective. Obviously, that is not the case and unlikely to be the kind of thing which would be attributed to a Rights Commissioner by statute to decide. In this case one is dealing with an inherently lawful subject matter, namely, the relationship of employer and employee, a relationship which the Rights Commissioner, in his Determination, found to exist and give rise to a liability of the applicant. Again, there was no appeal or judicial review of that decision.

So the court is saying firstly that older cases about illegality (which Hogan J. had relied on in the High Court) may need to be reconsidered and secondly that contracts of employment are normally inherently lawful; they are very different from a robbery contract.  The context for the second point is important as it seems to suggest that Judicial Review might be available for a case where a contract was of an inherently immoral nature, but not in the case of an inherently lawful employment contract.  This statement does not preclude further actions concerning illegality of employment contracts provided those actions take forms other than Judicial Review of enforcement proceedings.

The technical issue on which the appeal succeeded

With the benefit of hindsight, it is strange that the case got this far without this technical point succeeding.  To explain the point briefly:  A Rights Commissioner decision was made to award compensation to Mr Younis.  This decision was not appealed or Judicially Reviewed (there appear to have been delays and the time limits are short).  Mr Younis then brought enforcement proceedings (not an appeal) to the Labour Court.  The employer (Mr Hussein) sought judicial review in the High Court of the enforcement decision.  The High Court reviewed the merits of the case, based on the perceived absence of a work permit (although there was not a finding of fact by the Rights Commissioner or Labour Court on this issue), and quashed the Labour Court decision.  The Supreme Court held that the High Court did not have jurisdiction in a judicial review of an enforcement decision to review the merits of the case. 

The lessons for the legal community are clear:
(1) Watch out for time limits; if you do not abide by a time limit for an appeal or judicial review you may be left without a remedy.  Some time limits are very short, e.g. six months for many employment law matters. 
(2) Scrutinise the jurisdiction of a court carefully and revisit the issue of the court's jurisdiction constantly.  Even if the High Court decides the case as if it has jurisdiction, the issue can be revisited in the Supreme Court.
