A couple of interesting developments to report today...
First, the High Court has refused to order payment of a £175,000 severance payment agreed with the chief executive of an NHS Trust, on the basis that her performance was so bad that the Trust's decision to pay her a severance payment was perverse and ultra vires.

Second, the European Commission has set out principles for remunerating risk-based staff in financial institutions. The recommendations include the bulk of bonuses being deferred (to enable better judging of performance) and claw-back clauses in data proves to have been misstated. The Recommendations will be followed up by legislative proposals.
