    The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple Middle Society Honourable the The of 2019 Issue 59 Michaelmas 2019 Issue 59 Women Readers of Middle Temple Celebrating 100 Years of Women at Middle Temple The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales Practice Note (Relevance of Law Reporting) [2019] ICLR 1 Catchwords — Indexing of case law — Structured taxonomy of subject matter — Identification of legal issues raised in particular cases — Legal and factual context — “Words and phrases” con- strued — Relevant legislation — European and International instruments The common law, whose origins were said to date from the reign of King Henry II, was based on the notion of a single set of laws consistently applied across the whole of England and Wales. A key element in its consistency was the principle of stare decisis, according to which decisions of the senior courts created binding precedents to be followed by courts of equal or lower status in later cases. In order to follow a precedent, the courts first needed to be aware of its existence, which in turn meant that it had to be recorded and published in some way. Reporting of cases began in the form of the Year Books, which in the 16th century gave way to the publication of cases by individual reporters, known collectively as the Nominate Reports. However, by the middle of the 19th century, the variety of reports and the variability of their quality were such as to provoke increasing criticism from senior practitioners and the judiciary. The solution proposed was the establishment of a body, backed by the Inns of Court and the Law Society, which would be responsible for the publication of accurate coverage of the decisions of senior courts in England and Wales.

UNIT I Agents of the Law READING MATERIAL Text A. “Legal Profession” Task: read and translate the following text. England is almost unique in having two different kinds of lawyers, with separate jobs in the legal system. This division of the legal profession is of long standing and each branch has its own characteristic functions as well as a separate governing body. The training and career structures for the two types of lawyers are quite separate. The traditional picture of the English lawyer is that the solicitor is the general practitioner, confined mainly to the office.

  • Explanatory Memorandum to the Court of Protection Rules 2017
    EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO THE COURT OF PROTECTION RULES 2017 2017 No. 1035 (L. 16) 1. Introduction 1.1 This explanatory memorandum has been prepared by the Ministry of Justice and is laid before Parliament by Command of Her Majesty. 2. Purpose of the instrument 2.1 This instrument revokes the Court of Protection Rules 2007 (“the 2007 Rules”) and the amendments made to those rules by the Court of Protection (Amendment) Rules of 2009, 2011, 2015 and 2017 (S.I. 2009/582, S.I. 2011/2753, S.I. 2015/548 and S.I. 2017/187), and replaces them with a consolidated set of rules governing practice and procedure in the Court of Protection, which has the jurisdiction to make decisions regarding individuals who lack capacity to make such decisions themselves (commonly referred to as “P”). The new rules are arranged in Parts with separately numbered rules within each Part, following the model of the Civil Procedure Rules, Family Procedure Rules and Criminal Procedure Rules. They also adopt a different order from the 2007 Rules – which was piloted over 2016-2017 by a practice direction under the 2007 Rules (the Practice Direction – Case Management Pilot) – and introduce some new rules which were also piloted in that practice direction. 3. Matters of special interest to Parliament Matters of special interest to the Joint Committee on Statutory instruments 3.1 There are no matters of special interest to the Committee. Other matters of interest to the House of Commons 3.2 As this instrument is subject to the negative procedure and has not been prayed against, consideration as to whether there are other matters of interest to the House of Commons does not arise at this stage.
