TP25/077
As foreshadowed previously (see TP22/064), the Takeovers Panel has launched a new version of the Index of Reasons, a topic and legislation index of the Panel’s reasons for decisions, on its website.
The new search tool enables users to select either a Topic and Sub‑topic, or an Act/Regulations and Section/Regulation number from a drop‑down list. Matters identified as relevant to the search will be displayed in reverse chronological order based on the date the reasons for the matters were published. Each result includes hyperlinks to the reasons for decision in the matter and the paragraphs of those reasons relevant to the search and lists the catchwords that appear in the reasons for decision for the matter. Each result also includes Other Topics or Other Legislation associated with the matter in the index.
The Index of Reasons has also been updated to include reasons published from 1 March 2000 to 30 June 2025. The new format will have the capacity to be updated more frequently.
PDF versions of the Index of Reasons can also be accessed by clicking the relevant download link in the search tool.
A number of other updates have been made to the website including an enhanced search function and a new Information for proceedings page under the Process tab containing important information for the administration of Panel proceedings (replacing the Process Letter).
I would like to thank Tania Mattei, Andrew Bubniw, Rebecca Andrewartha and the rest of the Panel executive for all their work in implementing this upgrade along with the Treasury digital delivery team and digital specialists Webplace.
