Retail law roundup: September 2025
30 September 2025
Welcome to our retail law roundup, where we share legal updates for retailers and brands.
Our first article this month examines the decision by France's Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) to fine clothing retailer SHEIN for failing to comply with the rules on cookies.
This month we also look at:
- The rise of agentic AI in retail
- The establishment of the UK Deposit Management Organisation (UK DMO)
- ERHC announcement on the approach to single sex spaces
- The latest developments in relation to the Employment Rights Bill
- The Court of Appeal's decision in Leicester City Council v Parmar, which is a useful judgment on the approach to be followed by Tribunals when shifting the burden of proof in discrimination claims.
Finally, don't forget to check out the ASA rulings our advertising team think you need to know about (and of course, one for fun) in our September ASA monthly insights.
