These are not a new set of regulations: they are amendments an old set of regulations
Which we thought were gone! But they are back
Welcome back No.3 regulations

A quick thing before we continue!
I have been analysing these laws for free for 9 months now - if you want to say thanks and have a few ÂŁ to spare please give to my @LawCentres fundraiser

They also amend the All Tiers regulations
Oh god it's all amendments by paragraph references
Basically all of England now in Tier 4 and Tier 4 is amended but not by a huge amount
This really is a terrible way to make laws on the fly - who can possibly understand it?!

So, to explain, you need 2 documents open if you want to understand what is going on:
All Tiers regulations (Tiers 1-4, 2 December as amended) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/1374/contents
And amendments https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2021/8/pdfs/uksi_20210008_en.pdf
No sensible way of doing except by track changes, on it now, back soon

First thing to go is "open air recreation" which is what we suspected based on the guidance.
So this means that you can go out for exercise (or any other listed reasonable excuse) but not to recreate (is that the verb?).

Before I go on - this is going to sound a bit abstract unless I explain that the new "lockdown" is an amendment to the Tier 4 restrictions. Tier 4 was a lockdown but slightly less strict than March.
This is my thread on Tier 4 - perhaps read that first https://twitter.com/AdamWagner1/status/1340568872655708161?s=20

Some minor changes here to Exception 1 to being outside the home ("leaving home necessary for certain purposes").
Key point is the original reasons - work, voluntary services etc. etc. are still there
"public outdoor place" can't include sports grounds or facilities

Important to see that you still don't count a child under 5 or person with disability who needs continuous care when you are with someone from another household for exercise
Not in the guidance I think but maybe they don't want to publicise

Next change is to para 13 so the exceptions almost all stay in - see last thread https://twitter.com/AdamWagner1/status/1340602518057988096?s=20
Paras 13 and 14 are about childcare. Some small but important changes:
I think it means that you can only provide informal childcare for "critical workers" in very limited circumstances
Tell me if I'm wrong

Children's outdoor sports gatherings removed as a reasonable excuse - we knew that from the guidance
Parents and child groups no longer permitted
What is important really is how similar this is to Tier 4:
- No open air recreation
- No parents and child groups
- More limited informal childcare options (I think)
- No children's sport or other outdoor sport such as tennis)
But otherwise its very similar

But otherwise its very similar
Elite sport and sport for people with disabilities is still permitted
Also well trailed in the announcements is the closure of outdoor sports facilities such as swimming, gyms, sports grounds
No alcohol takeaway
Have to pop off to eat, back later! That's basically it though, not much else changed from Tier 4
Oh, before I go, so as not to build tension, here's what's not in the law which is in the guidance :
- Time limit on outdoor exercise;
- Geographical limit on outdoor exercise
- Travel between areas.

I was indeed partly wrong on informal childcare, apologies https://twitter.com/SurreysKnight/status/1346531719810322432
Charles has it here https://twitter.com/charlescholland/status/1346517880922198016
I am going to wait until there is a consolidated version of the regulations to make a new video, hopefully tomorrow afternoon. I understand that the amended version of the regulations should be up tomorrow
All this remains in place https://twitter.com/AdamWagner1/status/1340602526270431232
And this is still there https://twitter.com/AdamWagner1/status/1340604695090515968
As is this - guidance has changed but not law re students https://twitter.com/adamwagner1/status/1340605792156872708
Communal worship still permitted https://twitter.com/AdamWagner1/status/1340605795994652674
Linked households (bubbles) remain the same - exactly the same, people. Really important to get that https://twitter.com/AdamWagner1/status/1333439914936053762
One other error sorry - it is the carer of a person with a disability who needs continuous care who doesnât âcountâ for gatherings not the disabled person themselves https://twitter.com/AdamWagner1/status/1346519295199752192
The amendments have a sad little ending
Here is my unofficial and probably unreliable track changes version of the Tier 4 rules. Please don't rely on it, for illustrative purposes only! âŚhttps://doughtystreetchambers-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/a_wagner_doughtystreet_co_uk/ETlNCH_rS5BMtygcMdC51uEBUnMaHen6ukSrQzLr6wOLBQ?e=vTUXl2
I have updated my Covid-19 regulations and case law table https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ne4zhPYAZK8G867D1Iz0Gg2ZJFLGmF2K/edit
You can find the relevant guidance read my thread on it here https://twitter.com/AdamWagner1/status/1346188409300258816?s=20
