This Day in Legal History: Treaty of ParisOn January 14, 1784, the Continental Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris, formally concluding the American Revolutionary War. This monumental event solidified the United States' independence from Great Britain, marking a turning point in world history. Negotiated in 1783 and signed on September 3 of that year, the treaty was a carefully crafted agreement between representatives of the United States and Great Britain. Ratification by Congress was required to finalize the agreement, and its approval on this day ensured compliance with international diplomatic norms.The Treaty of Paris recognized the sovereignty of the United States and established its borders, extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River and from Canada to the northern boundary of Spanish Florida. In addition to territorial gains, the treaty contained provisions for the repayment of debts, the return of confiscated property to Loyalists, and the withdrawal of British troops from American territory.The ratification process underscored the fledgling nation's commitment to the principles of diplomacy and the rule of law, as Congress navigated the logistical and political challenges of convening delegates during a harsh winter. This event also reflected the fragile unity of the 13 colonies, which worked together to achieve a peaceful resolution to years of conflict.The Treaty of Paris laid the groundwork for the United States' future as an independent republic. It established precedents for territorial negotiations and diplomatic relations, serving as a testament to the resilience and determination of the Revolutionary generation. January 14, 1784, stands as a pivotal date in legal history, symbolizing the birth of a nation under the framework of international law.A federal judge in Florida, Aileen Cannon, ruled that Attorney General Merrick Garland can release part of the final report on the federal criminal investigations into Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. However, Cannon extended her previous order barring the Justice Department from releasing the second part of the report, which pertains to the investigation into Trump's alleged retention of classified documents and related obstruction. Garland had intended to keep the second volume confidential but planned to share it with senior members of Congress. Cannon scheduled a hearing for January 17 to review this matter further.Co-defendants Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, who opposed the report's release, might appeal Cannon's decision. While Trump is not a formal party to the case, his lawyers have expressed opposition to releasing the report, and he filed an amicus brief. Cannon emphasized her limited jurisdiction over the documents-related volume and noted insufficient grounds to block the release of the election-related section. However, she underscored that even partial disclosure to Congress could compromise the legal rights of the defendants.Smith, who previously secured indictments against Trump, later dropped charges post-election following DOJ policy against prosecuting sitting presidents. A pending DOJ appeal seeks to overturn Cannon's broader restrictions on the report. A prior appeals court ruling rejected Nauta and De Oliveira's emergency bid to block the report's release entirely. Cannon's latest order maintains restrictions on the second volume until further court deliberation.Judge Clears Release of Trump Special Counsel Report on ElectionUS judge allows DOJ to release report on Trump's election subversion case | ReutersThe state of Texas has sued Allstate, accusing the insurance company of illegally tracking drivers through their cell phones without consent. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton alleged that Allstate built a vast driving behavior database, tracking over 45 million Americans by paying mobile app developers to embed tracking software into apps like Fuel Rewards, GasBuddy, Life360, and its own app, Routely. The lawsuit claims Allstate used this data to raise insurance premiums, deny coverage, and sell information to other insurers.Allstate allegedly expanded its data collection by purchasing vehicle location data directly from manufacturers, including Toyota, Lexus, Mazda, and Stellantis brands like Chrysler and Jeep, to more precisely determine when policyholders were driving. The lawsuit argues these practices violate Texas laws on data privacy, data brokerage, and deceptive acts by insurers. Texas is seeking restitution for consumers, damages, fines of up to $10,000 per violation, and the destruction of improperly collected data.This follows a similar lawsuit Paxton filed last year against General Motors for collecting and selling driver data without consent. Allstate has not yet responded to the allegations.Texas sues Allstate for collecting driver data without consent | ReutersNew York's Affordable Broadband Act (ABA), requiring Internet providers to offer low-cost plans for low-income residents, will take effect on January 15, 2025, after a prolonged legal battle. The law mandates that providers offer plans priced at $15 per month for at least 25Mbps or $20 per month for 200Mbps, inclusive of recurring fees and equipment rental costs. Annual price increases are capped at 2%, and state officials will periodically review speed requirements.The ABA's implementation follows a significant court victory, with a U.S. appeals court upholding the law in April 2024 and the Supreme Court declining to review the broadband industry's challenge in December 2024. The law is seen as a critical measure to address the digital divide, especially after the FCC's broadband discount program expired in 2024, leaving 1.7 million New York households without federal assistance.Exemptions are available for smaller ISPs serving fewer than 20,000 households if compliance would cause financial strain. Over 40 ISPs sought exemptions before the law was initially blocked in 2021. Providers seeking long-term exemptions must submit financial details by February 15, 2025. Noncompliance can result in civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation. Major ISPs, including Charter Spectrum, Comcast, Optimum, and Verizon, already offer discounted plans, but New York's law ensures standardization and broader accessibility for low-income residents.New York starts enforcing $15 broadband law that ISPs tried to kill - Ars Technica This is a public episode.

Guest: Business Insider SA Journalist Andrew Thompson has compared fuel loyalty programmes to help consumers choose the best savings option - at a time when its more important than ever before.   The fuel price in South Africa is on the rise once again, and with more people back on the roads after a coronavirus hiatus, savings at the petrol pump is all the more important.   In a normal year South Africans spend around R14.76 billion per month on fuel. As a result, many of the country's most popular reward and loyalty programmes have a strong fuel component.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
