WTO fails to reach consensus on key e-commerce moratorium, reforms
Show AI Summary
E-commerce moratorium and TRIPS safeguard lapse as WTO ministers fail to reach consensus on digital trade rules.
Failure of the WTO ministerial conference to reach consensus on the extension of the e-commerce moratorium left unresolved the commitment not to impose customs duties on electronic transmissions. The deadlock reflected differing positions on the duration of the extension, and the lapse raises the prospect that members may impose import duties on digital transmissions. The same impasse also ended the safeguard against non-violation complaints under the TRIPS Agreement, increasing the risk that WTO-compliant measures may be challenged for affecting expected commercial gains.

Attachment of proceeds of crime under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act was described as prevailing over debt recovery legislation, including the SARFAESI and RDB Acts, where the property is linked to money laundering. The key legal point is that the PMLA operates with overriding effect in relation to attachment proceedings concerning tainted assets, and debt recovery mechanisms do not displace action taken under the anti-money laundering framework.

Attachment of proceeds of crime: PMLA has overriding effect on debt recovery laws, says HC
Show AI Summary
PMLA attachment of proceeds of crime overrides prior secured interests under debt recovery laws in property disputes.
PMLA has an overriding confiscatory framework for attachment of proceeds of crime, and its operation is not displaced merely because the attached property is subject to a prior mortgage or secured interest under debt recovery laws. The court noted that SARFAESI and the Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act serve different objects and cannot prevail over PMLA in attachment proceedings. Where confiscation has been ordered or trial has commenced, claims of legitimate interest in the attached property must be adjudicated by the Special Court.
