The anniversary, which included a formal visit by the Queen and the British Prime Minister to the banks of the Thames where the document was sealed, has resonated across the world. Functions and speeches in recognition and celebration of the anniversary have been held in Australia, the United States, Canada, France and South Africa, and elsewhere. Although the common thread of the Magna Carta runs through each of the papers in this volume, they cover topics as varied as the effect of the Magna Carta on the ancient fishing rights of Aboriginal people in Canada, to its echoes in the modern Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities here in Victoria. The range of themes covered in this collection of papers and the continued celebration of the Magna Carta, centuries after it was first sealed at Runnymede, are a testament to its enduring legacy. Originally a medieval political truce, but later enacted and exported from Britain to the wider common law world, the Magna Carta has long captured popular imagination, and it is often viewed as the foundation of individual liberties and the rule of law in countries of the common law tradition. On the 800 years of the Magna Carta’s history, Lord Neuberger writes: Over the course of … 800 years, the idea of Magna Carta gathered momentum and assumed a greater authority in respect of the central key clauses concerning liberty and justice. These central clauses, usually referred to as 38 and 39, have not only stood the test of time, but have a potency of their own which has seen off hundreds of attempts at annulment, repeal, modification and suspension by successive monarchs and governments.1 This understanding of the Magna Carta, and the differing perspectives reflected in the papers gathered in this volume, show the power and central importance of the ideas that now are seen (probably inaccurately) as reflected in the Magna Carta. But it is the ideas that matter, much more than whether their origin can be traced to the instrument sealed at Runnymede eight centuries ago. The papers in this volume comprise speeches delivered in Melbourne by judges and legal academics, as well as essays prepared by students at Melbourne Law School as part of a special research subject on the Magna Carta. This volume of the Journal provides an opportunity to gather those papers and speeches together and share them with the wider legal community.

Judicial College of Victoria Journal Volume 04 | 2016 3 Magna Carta - Resonances in the Common Law of Australia* The Hon Justice Virginia Bell AC† Three months before this year’s celebrations of the anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta, Lord Sumption, of the Supreme Court of England and Wales, staged a pre-emptive strike in an address to the Friends of the British Library. His Lordship had been asked to speak on the topic ‘Magna Carta then and now’. He observed that it is impossible to say anything new about Magna Carta, unless you say something mad. And indeed, even if you say something mad, he suggested the likelihood is that it will have been said before and probably quite recently.1 Six months later, the task of saying something new about Magna Carta has not become any easier. In Australia we have had learned addresses on the great charter from Professor Brand, a renowned medievalist,2 Jim Spigelman, former Chief Justice of New South Wales, himself no mean historian,3 the Chief Justice of Australia,4 and the former Prime Minister.5 And as I speak, Lord Igor Judge is delivering a public lecture titled ‘Magna Carta: Destiny or Accident’ to the Magna Carta Society in the Federal Court in Sydney.6 Suffice it to say, the octocentenary of Magna Carta has not passed unnoticed in the antipodes. This is fitting given that Magna Carta is widely viewed as the foundation stone of the rule of law in countries that share our common law heritage. The charter sealed at Runnymede on or about 15 June 1215 contained 63 chapters, the great bulk of which are of interest only to the committed medievalist. It is chapters 39 and 40 that are accorded constitutional significance. Within two months of its execution, Pope Innocent III annulled the charter on the ground that King John’s seal had been appended under duress. Nonetheless, after John’s death in 1216, the charter was re-issued, albeit shorn of some of its more radical provisions, * This paper is adapted from a speech delivered at Spring Conversazione (Melbourne, 1 October 2015). † Justice of the High Court of Australia. 1 Lord Sumption, ‘Magna Carta then and now’ (Address to the Friends of the British Library, 9 March 2015).

Much inclosure of Common Land, Open Fields and Moor Land (or Waste), formerly farmed collectively by the residents on behalf of the Lord of the Manor, had taken place by the 18th century, but the uplands of County Durham remained largely unenclosed. Inclosures, to consolidate land-holdings, divide the land (into Allotments) and fence it off from other usage, could be made under a Private Act of Parliament or by general agreement of the landowners concerned. In the latter case the Agreement would be Enrolled as a Decree at the Court of Chancery in Durham and/or lodged with the Clerk of the Peace, the senior government officer in the County, so may be preserved in Quarter Sessions records. In the case of Parliamentary Enclosure a Local Bill would be put before Parliament which would pass it into law as an Inclosure Act. The Acts appointed Commissioners to survey the area concerned and determine its distribution as a published Inclosure Award.

  • Magna Carta and the Development of the Common Law
    Magna Carta and the Development of the Common Law Professor Paul Brand, FBA Emeritus Fellow All Souls College, Oxford Paper related to a presentation given for the High Court Public Lecture series, at the High Court of Australia, Canberra, Courtroom 1, 13 May 2015 Magna Carta and the Development of the Common Law I We are about to commemorate the eight hundredth anniversary of the granting by King John on 15 June 1215 of a ‘charter of liberties’ in favour of all the free men of his kingdom [of England] and their heirs. That charter was not initially called Magna Carta (or ‘the Great Charter’, in English). It only acquired that name after it had been revised and reissued twice and after the second reissue had been accompanied by the issuing of a separate, but related, Charter of the Forest. The revised version of 1217 was called ‘The Great Charter’ simply to distinguish it from the shorter, and therefore smaller, Forest Charter, but the name stuck. To call it a ‘charter of liberties’ granted by king John to ‘all the free men of his kingdom’ of England is, however, in certain respects misleading. The term ‘liberty’ or ‘liberties’, particularly in the context of a royal grant, did not in 1215 bear the modern meaning of a recognised human right or human rights. ‘Liberty’ in the singular could mean something closer to that, in the general sense of the ‘freedom’ or the ‘free status’ of a free man, as opposed to the ‘unfreedom’ of a villein. ‘Liberties’, though, were something different (otherwise known as ‘franchises’), generally specific privileges granted by the king, particular rights such as the right to hold a fair or a market or a particular kind of private court, the right to have a park or a rabbit warren which excluded others from hunting or an exemption such as freedom from tolls at markets or fairs.

  • National Capital Authority
    NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY Submission to House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage Sustainable Cities 2025 1. INTRODUCTION The National Capital Authority has prepared this submission in response to the inquiry by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage into issues and policies related to the development of sustainable cities to the year 2025. The Authority has been guided in its response by the Terms of Reference for the Inquiry provided by the Standing Committee: Terms of Reference • The environmental and social impacts of sprawling urban development; • The major determinants of urban settlement patterns and desirable patterns of development for the growth of Australian cities; • A ‘blueprint’ for ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement, with particular reference to eco-efficiency and equity in the provision of services and infrastructure; • Measures to reduce the environmental, social and economic costs of continuing urban expansion; and • Mechanisms for the Commonwealth to bring about urban development reform and promote ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement. The Authority’s submission provides the relevant background information on the Authority's role in planning and development in the ACT, and how the Authority both addresses and influences sustainability in its role to achieve ‘a National Capital which symbolises Australia’s heritage, values and aspirations, is internationally recognised, and which Australian’s are proud’. It sets out the provisions of the National Capital Plan applicable to sustainability and identifies initiatives undertaken by the Authority to create a more sustainable environment. 2. NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY The National Capital Planning Authority was established in 1989 as part of the introduction of self-government in the ACT, with a view to securing the Federal Government’s continuing interest in the planning and development of Canberra as Australia’s National Capital.

  • 'Common Rights' - What Are They?
    'Common Rights' - What are they? An investigation into rights of passage and rights of land use (or rights of common) Alan Shelley PG Dissertation in Landscape Architecture Cheltenham & Gloucester College of Higher Education April2000 Abstract There is a level of confusion relating to the expression 'common' when describing 'common rights'. What is 'common'? Common is a word which describes sharing or 'that affecting all alike'. Our 'common humanity' may be a term used to describe people in general. When we refer to something 'common' we are often saying, or implying, it is 'ordinary' or as normal. Mankind, in its earliest civilisation formed societies, usually of a family tribe, that expanded. Society is principled on community. What are 'rights'? Rights are generally agreed practices. Most often they are considered ethically, to be moral, just, correct and true. They may even be perceived, in some cases, to include duty. The evolution of mankind and society has its origins in the land. Generally speaking common rights have come from land-lore (the use of land). Conflicts have evolved between customs and the statutory rights of common people (the people of the commons). This has been influenced by Church (Canonical) law, from Roman formation, statutory enclosures of land and the corporation of local government. Privilege, has allowed 'freemen', by various customs, certain advantages over the general populace, or 'common people'. Unfortunately, the term no longer describes a relationship of such people with the land, but to their nationhood.
