The Hillsborough Law Bill: Navigating New Duties and Public Law Implications - Landmark Chambers

The Hillsborough Law Bill: Navigating New Duties and Public Law Implications - Landmark Chambers

Join Landmark Chambers' barristers for an in-depth discussion on the Hillsborough Law Bill.

In September 2025, the government introduced the Public Office (Accountability) Bill into Parliament, paving the way for a radical shift in the standards expected of public bodies and officials. Also known as the Hillsborough Law, the Bill proposes to introduce a new duty on public authorities and public officials to act with candour, transparency and frankness, as well as wide-ranging enforcement mechanisms. Join Landmark barristers for a timely discussion of the Bill's key provisions and its implications as it progresses through Parliament.
