EY has appointed Addleshaw Goddard corporate managing partner Phillip Goodstone to establish its legal capability in the UK.
The big four accountant is thought to be in the process of being authorised as an alternative business structure (ABS), enabling it to become a legal services provider in its own right.
The move follows the entry of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ (PwC) legal arm, PwC Legal, into the ABS legal market at the end of January, when the SRA approved its licence application (31 January 2014).
In a statement, EY said of its move into the UK legal market: “The appointment has been made with a view to building a legal capability for EY in the UK, subject to regulatory approval, which would complement the firm’s existing service offerings.”
A source close to Addleshaw Goddard said that Goodstone left last week, although an Addleshaw Goddard spokesperson said the date and terms of his departure are yet to be finalised. Goodstone will join EY as a partner in September.
Leeds-based private equity partner Yunus Seedat has taken over as corporate chief with immediate effect. He is expected to retain key client responsibilities alongside the new leadership role.
Goodstone was at Addleshaw Goddard for 17 years. He joined the firm from Clifford Chance in 1997, was made partner in 2000 and replaced Andrew Rosling as divisional managing partner in charge of the firm’s corporate group in 2011(16 May 2011).
Goodstone is thought to have been particularly close to incumbent managing partner Paul Devitt, who is standing down a year before his tenure was due to end on 30 April 2015, sparking an early election (17 March 2014).
News of Devitt’s decision to step down as managing partner came alongside details of a trio of internal accounting errors that led to miscalculation of partners’ projected profit shares.
Details of the mix-up emerged after news of the appointment of former Eversheds head of finance operations and treasury Colin Brown and the departure of longstanding chief financial officer Martin Gaskin in December. (17 February 2014). The firm did not discuss the circumstances surrounding Gaskin’s departure.
Commenting on Goodstone’s departure Devitt said: “We will be sorry to see Phil go, and understand that the opportunity to take his career in a different direction was one he didn’t feel able to turn down. Our ambitions for corporate remain unchanged; we will continue to invest in and develop further our strong platform.”

According to the recent reports, Tata Motors will be unveiling their all-new volume focussed micro SUV at the Auto Expo in February 2020. Highly likely to be christened as Tata Hornbill, the micro SUV is based on the Tata H2X concept which was initially unveiled at a motoring show in Switzerland in March 2019. As per the officials, the Tata Hornbill and the upcoming Tata Altroz, the premium hatchback from the brand, will be sharing 70% of the parts.
Both the products will be completely different from one another in terms of designing and body language while sharing the same underpinnings. This will allow Tata Motors to keep the cost of production under check and offer their premium products at an affordable price range. After Harrier and the upcoming 7-seater Buzzard and the Altroz hatchback, Tata Motors will be launching the Hornbill by March/April 2020.
The upcoming Tata Altroz premium hatchback from the brand is based on the brand new ALFA (Advanced Light Flexible Agile) architecture while it will be competing in the market with the likes of Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Hyundai Elite i20, Volkswagen Polo, and the Honda Jazz.
According to the reports, the H2X concept based micro SUV Hornbill is the third product after the Tata Harrier and Altroz from Tata Motors to get Impact Design 2.0 design philosophy. The micro SUV will also be based on the ALFA platform that is being used by the brand for the majority of its upcoming products. The brand is likely to launch the Tata Hornbill micro SUV with a 1.2-litre Revotron three-cylinder petrol engine that will be further mated to a 5-speed AMT or manual transmission.
The concept design shows the SUV with an upright front profile with a split headlamp design. The SUV is expected to get a flared wheel arches, flat roof as well as a compressed tail section. When launched in India, the Tata Hornbill will compete against the likes of Maruti Suzuki Concept Future S based S-Presso as well as the Mahindra KUV100.

The Supreme Court of Liberia has issued a notice of assignment in the petition filed by four Senators questioning the amendment of Rule 63 that was agreed upon by 20 Senators in Associate Justice Kabineh Ja’neh’s impeachment proceeding to appear on November 27 for final arguments in the case.
Senators Conmany Wesseh, Daniel Naathen, Milton Teahjay and Oscar Cooper through Cllr. Tiawan Gongloe questioned the amendment of Rule 63 of the House of Senate which, they said, was in violation of Article 43 of the Constitution of Liberia.
The notice of assignment was served on the 20 Senators, including the four senators, following a petition seeking to prevent the amendment of the rule in connection with Justice Ja’neh’s impeachment proceedings at the House of Senate.
In their petition filed before the Court, the four Senators demanded the 20 Senators’ response to a petition seeking to prevent their amendment of rules in connection with Associate Justice Ja’neh’s impeachment proceeding at the House of Senate following a citation served on them.
It was from this backdrop that the Supreme Court issued a citation which was served on both parties, ordering them to file their respective returns in the case.
Cllr. Gongloe, in his argument, stated that the 20 Senators proceeded wrongly, claiming that Article 43 of the Constitution states: “The Legislature shall prescribe the procedure for impeachment proceeding which shall be in conformity with the requirements of due process of law.”
The petitioners’ lawyer strongly believes that the 20 Senators’ decision was unconstitutional and wants Justices of the Supreme Court of Liberia to interpret that provision of the Constitution in order to resolve their concern.
The four Senators’ application comes at the time when the Supreme Court has reserved ruling into Associate Justice Ja’neh’s petition seeking a Writ of Prohibition on a similar issue at the House of Representatives.
Meanwhile, the House of Senate will appear on November 27 to present their argument in the case.

The World Health Organisation says that donating just one unit of blood can save the lives of up to three patients.
The WHO Regional Director for Africa, Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, said this in a message to commemorate the 2022 World Blood Donor Day, celebrated every June 14.
“This year’s theme, `Donating blood is an act of solidarity. Join the effort and save lives’’
“The day highlights the critical role of voluntary blood donations in saving lives and enhancing community solidarity and social cohesion.
“Donating just one unit of blood can save the lives of up to three patients,’’ Moeti said.
According to her, the global community marks the day to focus on the gift of life from voluntary unpaid blood donors around the world.
“On this day I urge African governments and political leaders to prioritize the provision of adequate human and financial resources to secure the future of national blood transfusion services.
“A blood service that gives patients access to safe blood and blood products, in sufficient quantities, is a key component of an effective health system,’’ she said.
Moeti said that the WHO in the African Region, joined the call for more people to become regular blood donors.
She said that compared to other regions globally, the African Region saw a disproportionate number of conditions requiring donor blood, impacting as many as seven million patients every year.
“Examples include haemorrhage associated with pregnancy and childbirth, severe anaemia due to malaria and malnutrition, bone marrow and inherited blood disorders, trauma and accidents, as well as man-made and natural disasters.
“While the need for donor blood is universal, access for everyone who needs it is not,’’ she said.
Moeti said in the African Region, demand regularly outstripped supply negatively, impacting timely access for all patients who needed safe and quality-assured blood to save their lives.
“As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, voluntary unpaid blood donations dropped significantly. Malawi, for example, registered a 46 per cent decrease in donations,’’ she said.
Moeti said that countries across the African Region worked hard to improve blood donation frequency, and the situation was showing signs of stabilising.
She said that blood transfusion services in many countries reached out to blood donors through public awareness campaigns, transporting donors from and to their homes, using digital platforms and establishing call centres.
“The situation remains challenging, and it is exacerbated by issues such as staff shortages and limited funding from governments and partner organizations for effective blood donor education, recruitment, and retention,’’ Moeti said.
According to her, as WHO in the African Region, “we provide support to countries at various levels, including resource mobilisation for the implementation of national blood transfusion plans”.
She said others were advocacy for integrating blood safety into the plans and strengthening the legal and regulatory framework for blood safety.
“Seeking out opportunities for partnerships and collaborations with media, the private sector, faith-based and non-governmental organisations will help increase the recruitment and retention of voluntary unpaid blood donors.
“I want to sincerely thank Africa’s blood donors for their selfless contribution to national health systems, through this life-saving gift to patients who need transfusion therapy.
“I want to acknowledge the tireless efforts of blood services staff who are deeply committed to maintaining critical blood supplies.
“Also, the research and development professionals pursuing new technologies and uses for donated blood, as well as the medical teams who use blood rationally to save lives,’’ Moeti said.
According to her, “by becoming a blood donor, you will help ease the pressure on health systems still struggling under the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic”.

IMPHAL, July 25: In a sensational revelation, the Little Flower School girl in the heart-rending kidnap case in 2003 whose lifeless body was recovered after being kidnapped for ransom, was raped by two accused before being eventually killed.
Central Bureau of Investigation, CBI counsel H Chandrajit Sharma, special public prosecutor told the District & Session Judge/ Manipur East today.
Today’s case proceeding was an agreement hearing on a bail plea by one of the main accused Heisnam Ningol alias Prem Devi, 57, daughter of (L) H Yaima Singh of Nongmaikhong Awang Leikai.
The eight year old daughter of a minister in the current Ibobi governent was kidnapped on November 4, 2003 around 3.30pm from her school Little Flower English School.
The CBI counsel said the girl (name withheld) was killed in a barbaric and heinous manner.
Altogether there are 48 Prosecution Witnesses in the charge-sheet submitted to the court by the CBI, he said.
He continued that charge-sheet witness no 22 in his statement has stated that the girl was kept concealed in the house of O Purnima and Suresh after being kidnapped and was raped there by two of the accused in the case Thokchom Nando alias Nanao and RK Sanjoy.
The petitioner was a lady Homeguard with the Manipur Police, but was released from service after being arrested with a demand letter, the CBI counsel said.
Heisnam Ningol has been in judicial custody ever since, a special team of the CBI had arrested her on April 8, around 3.50 pm from the RIMS campus.
He continued that the petitioner had been seen accompanying other co-accused and driving around in a scooter.
The petitioner could be the person referred to as “aunty” of the girl, frequently reflected in the case, the CBI counsel said while further arguing that another accused in the case is yet to be arrested.
He also argued that the petitioner is not listed in the supplementary charge-sheet of the CBI, but is one of the main accused for whom the CBI had announced a Rs. 1 lakh reward.
Her interrogation had led to the arrest of another accused and since she has denied revealing more, there is consideration to use scientific methods to investigate, he said.
If she is innocent in the killing, than why had she tried to stop womenfolk from protesting at Langol after the recovery of the girl’s body? Why had she gone to Sajik Tampak and why had she remained absconded for such a long time, he asked while stating that from the statements of the PWs, her involvement in the killing is clear and appealed to the court against granting her bail.
The defence counsel while pleading for Heisnam Ningol’s bail claimed before the court that she will not try to tamper with the prosecution witnesses or any other related with the case, and will not abscond and continue to take part in the trial of the case.
The counsel further declared that she was never a member of any UG group.
Last month, the petitioner had pleaded for bail from the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Imphal West which was rejected by the court on June 23.
The accused again filed another petition with the District and Session Judge, Manipur East seeking bail.
The CBI had submitted a bail objection report on July 19 to the court, which is followed by today’s argument hearing.
During today’s hearing, the defence counsel of the accused claimed the charges against Heisnam Ningol were baseless and fabricated claims.
He asked if the petitioner is charged of owning a gun, then has any gun been recovered from her.
What was CBI doing for so long, when the case has been continuing for more than 10 years, he asked?
He said the petitioner is a diabetic patient and being a woman, her being lodged in the jail is taking its toll on her mental health.
A day after the minor was kidnapped; the Lamphel Police Station registered a case under FIR No 181 (11) 2003 LPL PS u/s 364-A, 368, 400, 302, 384 IPC.
However, the State Home department announced the handing over of the case to the CBI on March 34, 2004 through an official notification.
In pursuance of the State government’s notification, the Centre had also issued an official notification directing the CBI to investigate the case.
Following the official notifications, the CBI had registered a case under FIR no RC 5/S/2004-Kol u/s 364-A, 368, 400, 302 IPC.
Following investigation in the case, the CBI submitted its charge-sheet on December 28, 2007 to the court.

Nov. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Japanese stock futures and Australian shares rose amid optimism new governments in Greece and Italy will help contain Europe’s debt crisis, boosting investor confidence in riskier assets.
American depositary receipts of Toyota Motor Corp., the world’s biggest carmaker by market value, rose 0.8 percent from the closing share price in Tokyo. Those of Komatsu Ltd., a Japanese machinery maker that gets 23 percent of its sales in China, gained 1 percent after two of China’s best-known economists said the country’s economy will have a “soft landing.” BHP Billiton Ltd., Australia’s No. 1 mining company, rose 0.7 percent.
Futures on Japan’s Nikkei 225 Stock Average expiring in December closed at 8,595 in Chicago on Nov. 11, up from 8,500 in Osaka, Japan. They were bid in the pre-market at 8,600 in Osaka, at 8:05 a.m. local time. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 Index climbed 0.3 percent today. New Zealand’s NZX 50 Index rose 0.6 percent in Wellington.
“The situation in Greece has dramatically improved with the appointment of a unity government out there, and Italy looks like it’s getting close to a resolution,” said Angus Gluskie, who manages more than $350 million at White Funds Management in Sydney. “Two of the largest concerns of the market are being partially taken off the table.”
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index gained 2 percent on Nov. 11 in New York after Italy approved debt reduction plans. Mario Monti, former European Union competition commissioner, will lead a new government in Italy after the region’s debt crisis led to the unraveling of a coalition led by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Futures on the S&P 500 gained 0.6 percent today.
Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos said the country’s new government must implement decisions from an Oct. 26 European summit to receive more loans and avoid default.
Two of China’s best-known economists, International Monetary Fund Deputy Managing Director Zhu Min and National Economic Research Institute Director Fan Gang, said the country’s economy was heading for a “soft landing” as growth slows. They spoke at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Honolulu yesterday.
Japan’s gross domestic product probably grew at an annualized 5.9 percent in the three months ended Sept. 30 after three consecutive quarters of contraction, according to the median forecast of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. The data is due today at 8:50 a.m. in Tokyo.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell 15 percent this year through last week, compared with a 0.5 percent gain by the S&P 500 and a 12.6 percent loss by the Stoxx Europe 600 Index. Stocks in the Asian benchmark are valued at 12.7 times estimated earnings on average, compared with 12.8 times for the S&P 500 and 10.4 times for the Stoxx 600.

On my first morning, I awoke to the sound of something walking around outside my tent. Opening the tent flap, I came face to face with my first javelina. It looked fiercely at me and narrowed its piggy eyes. My own eyes widened.
Gently, calmly I closed the tent flap. I zipped my sleeping bag up snugly and decided I really wasn’t ready to get up after all. I breathed deeply (what was that peculiar odor?) and focused on listening to the sounds of birds. But for 15 minutes all I could hear were the footfalls of little hooves on the rocks around my tent.
Yes, I was a little afraid of the javelina. But I read up on the beast and found out it was more interesting than scary. I learned that its official name is Collared Peccary. It resembles the domestic pig, but it is not a pig at all.
Pigs and peccaries diverged from a common ancestor almost 40 million years ago. Pigs (or swine, hogs and wild boar) evolved in the Old World. Peccaries evolved in the warmer parts of the New World, specifically Central and South America.
Peccaries differ from the hog family in a number of ways. Peccaries are slenderer and smaller by at least 30 pounds. Both peccaries and hogs have hooves, but the hind feet of peccaries only have three toes (hogs have four). Both have tusks, but the peccary’s tusks are straight, vertical and about an inch and a half long. Hog tusks can be much longer and are usually curved. Hogs have long curly tails. The peccary has only an “apology” for a tail. In fact, it looks tailless.
The most striking difference between the two families is the presence of a dorsal scent gland in peccaries. The scent gland is a nipple-like structure on the rump that exudes a distinct musky liquid. Its purpose appears to be social; the stink keeps the herd in contact with each other. But certainly it can alert other mammals in the area that there are peccaries around. It is often said that you can smell javelinas before you can see them!
There are actually three species of peccary. Two species, the White-lipped Peccary and the Chacoan Peccary, are only found in South America. However, the Collared Peccary’s range extends from Argentina to Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
In South Texas, peccaries are usually called javelinas, but the origin of this name is unclear. Most likely, it comes from “jabalina” (the Spanish word for spear) which is a reference to its tusks. I think that a name that referred to its stink would have been more appropriate!
Javelinas thrive in the arid lands of the southwestern United States. Thorny brush, inhospitable cactus and dense cat-claw thickets provide both shelter and food for this animal. The javelina’s fur is coarse, bristly and grizzled. This fur camouflages the animals so well, that they seem to disappear as they enter the brush.
Prickly pear cactus abounds in South Texas. And it is the favored food of javelinas. Fifty percent of their diet is made up of prickly pear, and the cactus may provide most of their water needs as well. Javelinas also eat acorns, other nuts and forbs. Occasionally, they will root out shallow tubers and rhizomes. They never dig very deeply, however, unlike feral hogs which can plow up a field!
Javelinas are not opposed to helping themselves to food put out by humans. Nancy Lawson of Cadiz put out deer corn for her Green Jays last winter. Inevitably, a few grains fell to the ground. Soon after, she noticed she had a small herd of about five or six javelinas coming to her feeder area. And if this wasn’t exciting enough, in April the herd showed up with two tiny javelina babies!
Baby animals are always cute. So were these piglets, or piglings as javelina babies are often called. They showed up at dusk with their mom, tripping along on their tiny hooves. Sometimes they would suckle. Occasionally, the piglings would rub on the mother, presumably to acquire that “delightful” herd scent.
Javelinas typically have twins. This is a good thing since the mother only has two teats. But there are records of litters of five piglings.
Since javelina piglings are so cute, people have kept them as pets. But they usually regret it. The cute baby grows into a bristle-covered, big-headed beast.
As it stares at you with its pea-sized eyes, the javelina looks mean and menacing. Its poor eyesight requires it to use its sense of smell more than vision. It is probably only gathering an “odor picture” of you, but it looks threatening. Javelinas frequently clack their teeth together to produce a loud, disturbing sound. Jaw clacking works to scare away intruders. It works for me!
The javelina’s ferocious looks, its tooth popping and ever-present musky smell combine to make it less than a superior pet. But as a denizen of the brush country, it is a well-adapted and fascinating animal. I hope you get to see one soon!

The Blackpool South MP was facing the prospect of being removed from his seat by voters after being caught in a "toxic" lobbying scandal.
He was stripped of the Conservative party whip in 2023 after The Times newspaper filmed him saying he could leak a confidential policy paper to a bogus investment fund and ask parliamentary questions on its behalf in a breach of parliamentary rules.
The Committee on Standards recommended he be banned from the House of Commons for 35 days, sparking a recall petition in his constituency.
It said his actions were an “extremely serious breach” of the rules and the message he gave to the undercover reporters was “that he was corrupt and ‘for sale’, and that so were many other Members of the House”.
His appeal over the suspension failed earlier this year.
In a letter to his constituents on Monday, Mr Benton annound he was quitting his seat.
He said: “It's with a heavy heart that I have written to the Chancellor this morning to tender my resignation as your MP.
“I'd like to thank the hundreds of residents who have sent supportive messages, cards and letters over the last few months and who have urged me to continue and fight the next election.”
It will be his 12th since he become PM in October 2022. The Conservatives have failed to win all but one.
The new by-election, this time in the north-west England seat, will be the fourth such vote held this year, while defeat would be the 11th time the Government has lost a seat in a by-election since the start of the current Parliament in 2019.
It will cause a headache for Mr Sunak following recent defeats to Labour in Kingswood and Wellingborough.
Mr Benton won a majority of just 3,690 at the 2019 general election and it is a key Labour target seat.
He added: “In 2019, I pledged to be an active, hardworking and relatable MP who would listen to your concerns and views and act upon them: I’d like to think that I have more than succeeded in that aim. It’s in the best interests of our community that my successor succeeds and I wish them well.”

As you know, I love everything in the world, with the exception of three things. One of those things that I love is films about films.
That's probably because I'm pretentious and awful, having already discussed TV shows about TV shows. A lot of cinema is about cinema, but I'm talking about films that actually revolve around the production of fictional films. So here, because I'm a complete sucker for postmodernism, are my top 5 films about films:
5. Berberian Sound Studio
The wonderful Toby Jones plays a foley artist who leaves his quiet English life to work on an Italian giallo film called The Equestrian Vortex. It's nicely atmospheric and unashamedly Lynchian, but the best thing about it is watching Jones create nasty horror sound effects by attacking the shit out of some vegetables. I know how he feels.
4. Seven Psychopaths
Martin McDonagh follows up his brilliant In Bruges with the less brilliant but still brilliant Seven Psychopaths. It centres around Colin Farrell's struggling writer, who happens to be called Marty, as he attempts to finish a screenplay, which happens to be called Seven Psychopaths. With its clever humour and impressive ensemble cast, Seven Psychopaths explains that films can treat people as horribly as they want, but the dog must not be harmed.
3. The Artist
Talking of which, The Artist follows silent movie star George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) and his dog Jack (Uggie) as they attempt to save a career destroyed by the introduction of sound in cinema. Famously, filmgoers in Liverpool were refunded after complaining that The Artist was a silent film. But when I demand my money back because The Great Gatsby was too loud, nothing.
2. Mulholland Drive
David Lynch's confusing masterpiece follows an aspiring actress (Naomi Watts) as she arrives in Hollywood and auditions for a film called The Sylvia North Story. And there's some weird stuff with a blue box and a lesbian.
1. Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Having already redefined the horror genre at least twice, Wes Craven returns to Elm Street for the seventh, and second best, instalment in the iconic franchise. New Nightmare sees the cast of the original A Nightmare on Elm Street terrorised and tormented by Freddy Krueger (credited as "Himself"; Robert Englund plays Robert Englund), who seems to be breaking out of the films and into the real world. It's up to Heather Langenkamp (Heather Langenkamp) to stop him, with the help of Wes Craven (Wes Craven) who is apparently writing the script that they are following. It's all fascinatingly self-aware, at once celebrating the franchise and criticising its over-commercialisation over the years; "the story gets too familiar, or too watered down by people trying to make it easier to sell," to quote Wes Craven (Wes Craven), who redefines the genre in the process. He would go on to redefine the genre again with the even more postmodern Scream. Incidentally, Wes Craven's twitter feed is a glorious mix of horror films and birdwatching. I love him.
And here are 5 more that I chose not to include:
Charlie Kaufman's super smart but super smug Adaptation follows Charlie Kaufman (Nicolas Cage) and his twin brother (Nicolas Cage) as Charlie struggles to adapt The Orchid Thief into a film, self-referentially writing his script as the events unfold.
Why I didn't include it: Aren't you reading? It stars Nicolas Cage. Twice.
4. Inland Empire
Three hours of Lynchian madness including rabbits, dancing and another actress, this time in a film called In High on Blue Tomorrows which is cursed, or something.
Why I didn't include it: It makes Mulholland Drive seem straightforward.
3. Scream 3
If you hadn't guessed, I would have loved to include a Scream film but the only one that actually centres around the production of a film is the third, and worst, instalment in Wes Craven's franchise. Ghostface is back and this time the victims are the cast of Stab 3, the franchise-within-a-franchise based on the events of Scream. It sounds confusing, but Wes Craven did redefine the horror genre.
Why I didn't include it: It's written by Ehren Kruger, who insists on doing to Scream what he did to Transformers.
This shouldn't really count, as the film-within-a-film is not fictional, but Psycho. But unlike that Hitchcock classic, this sucks, not to mention being completely overshadowed by the excellent TV movie The Girl starring Toby Jones as Alfred Hitchcock.
Why I didn't include it: Scarlett Johansson.
The interesting thing about Timecode is that the screen is divided into four quadrants, each showing a continuous 90-minute take, following some incredibly boring Hollywood people trying to make a film.
Why I didn't include it: It's shite.
Thanks for reading! The title of this blog comes from the Slipknot song Metabolic. But you got that.

Gov. Bill Ritter signed a bill into law this week that gives Chrysler and General Motors dealers who were closed during the automakers’ bankruptcies a right of first refusal if the companies reopen an area franchise, or a right to demand the franchise back if it has been reassigned.
House Bill 1049, sponsored by Reps. Joe Rice, D-Littleton, and Marsha Looper, R-Calhan, is expected to spur immediate action by some Chrysler dealers that were shut down for political reasons only to see their franchises given to someone else up the street.
Supporters have said they also believe it could bring about a lawsuit from Chrysler, though a spokeswoman for the company said Monday that no lawsuits are planned in regard to the bill.
HB 1049 passed the House with a 60-5 vote and 35-0 in the Senate.
Several dealers ousted by the two companies broke down in tears while telling of their plights, so Sen. Shawn Mitchell, R-Broomfield, said during a press conference that he wanted the legislation to hit Chrysler and GM hard.
But supporters said they are just happy it is now law.
“We’ve been working this for a long time,” Rice said. “We’re glad that we got it through the system as quickly as we could, because from this moment on, a lot of dealers will have protections they didn’t have before.”
HB 1049 gives the 39 Chrysler and GM dealers in Colorado who had franchises revoked last year a right of first refusal if the auto makers decide to reopen a franchise within five miles of theirs in the next five years.
It also requires Chrysler or GM to refund a large portion of the money that the terminated dealers put into capital upgrades of their facilities in the past five years.
Another provision allows dealers who already have seen their franchise given to another dealership to go back to the automakers and demand that the dealership either be returned to them or that they receive payments for their closing — a choice belonging to the dealers. Those payments, approved by the Legislature in 2009, include the good-will value of a dealership on the date of its termination and one year’s worth of rent for the building.
GM officials stopped fighting the bill this month after the time for the right of first refusal was cut in half and the percentage of capital improvements needing repayment was reduced.
Chrysler, meanwhile, has filed a legal action against four other states that have passed similar but less comprehensive laws, arguing that the bills interfere with a decision by a federal bankruptcy court allowing Chrysler to terminate a number of dealers.
While Chrysler spokeswoman Eileen Wunderlich said her company fought HB 1049 because it believes state-by-state legislation gets in the way of the federally approved bankruptcy plan, it has no plans to extend the lawsuit to include the Colorado law at the moment.
Melissa Kuipers, vice president of government relations and communication for the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association, said she does not know how quickly some ousted dealers will turn around and demand the return of their franchise that was given to someone else. But she said that she is glad the bill finally levels the playing field between auto manufacturers and dealers in this state.
Kuipers said the law gives Colorado dealers the voice they haven’t had since this downsizing began.

HOLLYWOOD – Recently Kylie Jenner broke up with Tyga on his own birthday, everyone is wondering what had happened? Sources reports, Kylie Jenner dumped Tyga after he had apparently sold the Ferrari he gave Kylie for her birthday.
On Kylie Jenner’s birthday, Tyga gave Kylie a brand new Ferrari 458 Italia as a birthday gift costing over $200,000.
On Tyga’s birthday when Kylie Jenner came back from her trip to Australia her Ferrari was nowhere to be found, she later learned that Tyga had sold the Ferrari without her permission so he could pay child support.
Kylie Jenner, disgusted by Tyga’s actions, simply dumped him and even tweeted out about the drama.
Tyga sold the Ferrari for $200,000 while Kylie was in Australia and reportedly attempted to lie to Kylie by telling her it had been stolen. But after investigation, she learned the truth.
Why would Tyga sell the Ferrari he had given Kylie for her birthday? These questions are yet to be answered.

ATHENS (Reuters) — Greek train and ferry services stopped and hospital staffing was cut to a minimum on Thursday as transport workers and doctors protested against spending cuts imposed to meet the country's bailout terms.
As the economy enters a sixth successive year of recession, demonstrations and strikes have surged again over the latest round of measures.
Public transport in Athens was disrupted as bus, trolley bus and railway workers stopped work while ships and ferries stayed docked at ports after seamen began a 48-hour strike.
Hundreds of doctors, medical staff, teachers and municipal workers rallied in central Athens to protest against "dangerous" measures that they say have drained the nation's health system of supplies and staff.
They later marched to parliament chanting "We will strike until we win!" and holding up banners reading "We'll kick the troika out," referring to the country's lenders: the European Union, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank.
Greece's main public sector union ADEDY also called a work stoppage. "Belt-tightening is killing the people and destroying the national health system," said its head, Costas Tsikrikas.
Highlighting how little households have to spend, data on Thursday showed retail sales dropped by almost one-fifth in November from last year.
Later on Thursday, private sector union GSEE kept up the pressure on the government, calling a 24-hour anti-austerity strike for Feb. 20.
In a separate protest, about 1,000 supporters of the Communist-affiliated PAME group gathered outside an Athens court to show solidarity with activists arrested for storming the labour ministry's office on Wednesday.
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has sought to maintain a hard line against strikes and protests to show the country's foreign lenders — as well as the public — he is determined to push through unpopular reforms.
A nine-day walkout by metro workers led to a standoff with his government this month and paralyzed transport across the Greek capital. The strike ended only after the government invoked an emergency law and threatened to arrest the workers.
The lenders' decision to disburse long-delayed aid last month eased fears that Greece could go bankrupt and be forced to leave the euro zone, but the social climate is volatile.
The country's two main unions, which combined represent about one-half of its workforce, have called repeated strikes since the debt crisis broke out in 2009. ADEDY is expected to join the anti-austerity strike next month.
"We'll keep fighting," said Tsikrikas. "We demand that Europe's heavyweights change their dead-end policy."

Resi roundup: Financiers, real estate investors buy homes across South Florida
Sales ranged from $6M to $10M
Sales from Miami Beach to Palm Beach ranged between $6 million and $10 million in the latest roundup of South Florida residential deals.
In Miami Beach, Artefacto owner Paulo Bacchi and his twin sons, Pietro and Bruno, closed on a penthouse at Murano at Portofino in an off-market deal. The Bacchis bought unit 3701 in the 37-story, 189-unit tower at 1000 South Pointe Drive for $8 million, records show.
The seller is Marlene Perlmutter, the widow of Michael Perlmutter, who died last year. The late Perlmutter was the longtime president of Perlmart, a New Jersey supermarket chain. Perlmutter sold the business to Saker ShopRites, another family-owned grocery store chain in New Jersey, for an undisclosed price in 2021, according to published reports.
Oren Alexander and Isaac Lustgarten of Official handled both sides of the deal, a spokesperson confirmed.
The Bacchis’ penthouse has three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and one half-bathroom, records show. It spans nearly 3,400 square feet. The tower was completed in 2002 by the Related Group, and includes a fitness center, pool, spa, and lighted tennis courts. The Perlmutters bought the unit for $2.9 million in 2004, records show.
Paulo Bacchi is an active player in Miami Beach’s residential market. In June of last year, he sold a waterfront Hibiscus Island lot for $10.7 million.
In Pompano Beach, a tech founder and her investor husband sold her waterfront mansion to a real estate investor for $10 million. Records show Charlotte Fudge and Michael Penman sold the house at 2593 Southeast 8th Street to JJTA22 Real Properties LLC, a Florida entity linked to Jarek Tadla.

I find it interesting that Pat Woodbury has an "R" next to her name on her campaign signs.
I immediately contacted a friend of mine to find out if the Newport News Republican Party endorsed Woodbury. What I found out is that the Republican Party voted not to endorse either candidate for this nonpartisan election.
Has Woodbury not learned from Dick Ashe's actions in York County? Is she being misleading in her representation?
Can we afford to have someone like this responsible for our children's education? If elected, what else will she be misleading about?
Vote May 7 for integrity. Mark Webb for School Board.
When we go to the polls on May 7 we must make informed and well-considered choices. We need dedicated citizens to fill both the Newport News City Council and the Newport News School Board.
Patricia Woodbury is well prepared for a position on the Newport News School Board, with degrees in both education and psychology.
She has the experience of teaching in public schools and of training others for roles to work with young people.
Woodbury has volunteered in our city schools and on city boards pertaining to issues concerning our youth.
Give Woodbury thoughtful consideration for the Newport News School Board when you vote on Tuesday, May 7.

Hold line on taxes
City Councilman Terrence Martin wants the people of the North District to put him back in office?
This guy wants to raise our taxes again.
I read in the Daily Press that John Robbins, who is seeking to unseat Martin, is against the real estate tax increase. Thank you, Mr. Robbins!
I called him to find out more about his stand and am proud to say that on May 7 my vote goes to a man of vision and integrity and who comes across as being very humble.
I recommend that you also give him a call -- his phone number is in the book.
My votes go to Mayor Joe Frank and John Robbins.
Heads above rest
It is indeed unfortunate that the citizens of a city as large as Hampton have such a poor selection of candidates for the upcoming City Council and School Board elections. Some offices are not even contested.
Fortunately, however, there is one City Council candidate who stands head and shoulders above the rest because he is immensely qualified for the job. This candidate is Randy Gilliland.
Gilliland is a successful Hampton businessman and active community leader. He has demonstrated time and again the leadership, financial, planning, and other skills that will make him a valuable council member. His good judgment, common sense, and business background is just what Hampton needs in these trying economic times.
Rest assured that Gilliland will not be snookered by slick-talking developers, or accept pie-in-the-sky economic projections as gospel.
To help get Hampton back on track, go to the polls on May 7 and vote for Gilliland.
Robert V. Doggett Jr.
Let's clean house
Two of the incumbents for re-election for Hampton City Council seats should change the wording on their campaign literature and not try to fool Hampton taxpayers. One says that "reducing taxpayers' burdens." The other states "remove the tax burden from property owners."
They have voted to approve every budget that George Wallace has presented to the City Council since they have been on governing body -- the increase of the cigarette tax, fees on the city decals, cable, cell phones or any other fee that he can put on us for additional money to help pay for all the land and buildings the City Council has voted on.
These fees are just another tax spelled out as a "fee." If they claim they want to reduce the tax burden, why don't they vote to remove these items?
I'm sure you will see them vote to build the $22 million Bass Pro Shop if it comes up for a vote.
Several years ago, the Newport News taxpayers decided to clean house and elected new Council City people. If it worked for them, it should work for Hampton. May 7 would be a good time to start.
On May 7, the city of Newport News will be conducting a local election for mayor, City Council and School Board. I anticipate that there will be write-in votes. Although the ballot for the commonwealth of Virginia allows for you to vote for a person not on the ballot for an office, voters tend to overlook that item completely.
I remind eligible voters that if you elect to write in anybody's name that you would read your ballot, write in the name of your choice, darken the oval shape with a No. 2 pencil provided, and vote (for not more than one).
Election of a candidate for office is a formal collective expression of approval or rejection of a candidate, a basic feature of democracy.
Hampton's new direction
Citizens have an opportunity to change the direction of Hampton on May 7. It is clear that new leadership is needed on the Hampton City Council. Our tax dollars are being squandered on risky public/private ventures. It is obvious that city staff has not done its homework on the developers they have given millions of dollars to promote Hampton. This must stop.
Send a message to the City Council on May 7. Elect Angela Leary and two new City Council members.
The City Council needs new blood, new vision and new leadership. We must elect people with vision for our city if we have any hope for our future. Leary has a 21st-century vision for the city of Hampton that does not rely on low-paying retail jobs. She will demand accountability from city staff and keep the citizens informed. We need her on the City Council to restore our trust.
Susan C. Mitchell
Throw 'em out
I have had it with a City Council that listens to special interest groups instead of its citizens.
We don't need a Bass Pro Shop, a charter school for a privileged few citizens' children, or this current City Council. We do need to pay our police, firefighters, EMTs, and school employees a decent salary.
At several City Council meetings I watched in disbelief when most citizens spoke against a proposal and then when the vote was called, the City Council approved.
Ross Kearney and Linda Walker usually were the dissenting votes. While we need Kearney and Walker, let's help them to help us by ridding ourselves of the others on Tuesday, May 7, by voting against incumbents. Let's turn this city back into one that citizens can be proud to call home.
Waiting for the answer on drugs
In the April 2 Daily Press, candidate Billy Hudgins, who is challenging Mayor Frank on May 7, was quoted as saying he had a remedy for ridding this city of drugs but would not make it known because his opposing candidate could use his plan.
Drugs affect the entire world, starting with the family, then the community. Our jails and prisons are filled with very intelligent young and old folk. Mothers are doing time with their children due to drugs.
I believe that one should just say "no," but I also believe that if this country could ban the Cuban cigar from the U.S.A. it could also keep drugs that are not grown or manufactured in the U.S.A. from its citizens.
Candidate Hudgins, I know many mothers of addicted children who would change their vote immediately for the plan you have to rid the city of drugs because jails are not the answer.
I'll be waiting to hear of your plan.
