Abstract: The legal notebooks of Justice John Hyde are an important source of information about India's first Supreme Court, established in Calcutta in 1774. The notebooks contain 22,000 pages of handwriting by the first sitting judges, including significant shorthand passages by Justice Hyde that have not been deciphered until now. This paper describes the decoding of the shorthand and its contents. Hyde used shorthand to securely record his views on the profit-making activities of his fellow judges, Sir Elijah Impey and Sir Robert Chambers, and the effects these had on the Court's integrity, public image and ability to enforce its jurisdiction. The decrypted shorthand adds to documentation on a contentious shift from a patronage-based social system to systematized rule of law in late eighteenth century British India.

Today's business is dependent on information; information about an individual's financial wealth, education, purchasing preferences and even health conditions. How companies treat the information, or data, they accumulate from individuals is governed by the laws in which they are incorporated and operate. Unfortunately, these laws often conflict especially when an American business is operating in Europe. This conflict led the European Commission to develop data privacy principles known as the Safe Harbor Directive, which if followed allowed US companies to store and use EU customer data. However, a lawsuit challenging the legitimacy of the Safe Harbor's privacy protections for EU citizens resulted in a 2015 ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) that invalidated the Safe Harbor Directive. The chaos that resulted from this ruling sent businesses on both sides of the Atlantic scrambling for an alternative. Unfortunately, Brexit has made an extremely complex legal and business situation even more complicated. Brexit raises two important questions concerning the EU's recent invalidation of the Safe Harbor Directive that this paper will address: 1) what impact will the UK's decision to leave the EU have on the newly enacted Privacy Shield and 2) what data privacy measures will the UK implement when it is no longer part of the EU?
