  • 1. General Background
    By Professor Nigel Lowe, Sarah Armstrong and Anest Mathias* of the Centre for International Family Law Studies, Cardiff Law School, Wales, United Kingdom. 1. GENERAL BACKGROUND The United Kingdom comprises three distinct jurisdictions, England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.1 In all jurisdictions of the UK, a common law system operates, however, the majority of child law is governed by statute. The Family Law Act 1986, deals primarily with jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of orders and powers among the legal systems within the UK, and the jurisdiction of the courts in respect of children in an international context. In England and Wales, the main statute affecting child law is the Children Act 1989. In Scotland, the principal legislation dealing with children issues is the Children (Scotland) Act 1995. In drafting this Act, the legislature clarified the issue of custody rights with regard to Scottish law, recognising that under the Convention, it is essential to know the scope of such rights.2 Some of the common law and statutory remedies existing prior to the Act also remain. In Northern Ireland, family law is primarily governed by the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 19953 which came into force in 1996. Jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement issues in the UK, as in other EU States,4 have been complicated by the Brussels II Regulation5 which came into force on 1 March 2001 and which has priority over the Family Law Act 1986. 1.1 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONVENTION The UK ratified the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction on behalf of its jurisdictions on 1 August 1986 when the Child Abduction and Custody Act 1985 (the 1985 Act), came into force.

  • Modernising English Criminal Legislation 1267-1970
    Public Administration Research; Vol. 6, No. 1; 2017 ISSN 1927-517x E-ISSN 1927-5188 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Modernising English Criminal Legislation 1267-1970 Graham McBain1,2 1 Peterhouse, Cambridge, UK 2 Harvard Law School, USA Correspondence: Graham McBain, 21 Millmead Terrace, Guildford, Surrey GU2 4AT, UK. E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 2, 2017 Accepted: April 19, 2017 Online Published: April 27, 2017 doi:10.5539/par.v6n1p53 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/par.v6n1p53 1. INTRODUCTION English criminal - and criminal procedure - legislation is in a parlous state. Presently, there are some 286 Acts covering criminal law and criminal procedure with the former comprising c.155 Acts. Therefore, it is unsurprising that Judge CJ, in his book, The Safest Shield (2015), described the current volume of criminal legislation as 'suffocating'. 1 If one considers all legislation extant from 1267 - 1925 (see Appendix A) a considerable quantity comprises criminal law and criminal procedure - most of which is (likely) obsolete.2 Given this, the purpose of this article is to look at criminal legislation in the period 1267-1970 as well as criminal procedure legislation in the period 1267-1925. Its conclusions are simple: (a) the Law Commission should review all criminal legislation pre-1890 as well as a few pieces thereafter (see Appendix B). It should also review (likely) obsolete common law crimes (see Appendix C); (b) at the same time, the Ministry of Justice (or Home Office) should consolidate all criminal legislation post-1890 into 4 Crime Acts.3 These should deal with: (a) Sex crimes; (b) Public order crimes; (c) Crimes against the person; (d) Property and financial crimes (see 7).
