UK Court Dismisses £340m Uber Lawsuit Over 2012 Licensing Allegations

The court ruled the claims were filed too late, as the alleged misleading information provided to Transport for London in 2012 should have been discovered by 2018.

High Court Rules Australian Computer Scientist Not Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto

The high court in London has ruled that Australian computer scientist Craig Wright is not the pseudonymous creator of bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, ending a two-month trial. The judge concluded that the evidence overwhelmingly showed Wright was not the author of the bitcoin white paper, did not operate under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, did not create the bitcoin system, and was not the author of the initial versions of the bitcoin software. Wright was sued by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance, which accused him of fabricating evidence. The court's ruling is seen as a win for the open source community and ends years of Wright's claims about being Nakamoto.

Kenyan High Court Blocks Deployment of Police to Haiti

Kenya's high court has ruled against the government's plan to deploy hundreds of police to lead a UN-backed mission to combat escalating gang violence in Haiti, deeming the deployment unconstitutional and invalid. The ruling leaves the multinational mission in limbo, as the government plans to appeal, while Haiti's foreign minister urges for swift intervention amid a surge in violence and human rights abuses. Concerns have been raised about the Kenyan police force's human rights record and preparedness for the mission, as well as the need for Haitian involvement in the country's rebuilding process.
