Red Tape Robin Ellison Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-42695-4 — Red Tape Robin Ellison Frontmatter More Information RED TAPE Red Tape tells the sometimes astonishing story of the making of laws, both good and bad, the recent explosion in rule making and the failure of repeated attempts to rationalise the statute books – even governments themselves are concerned about the increasing number and complexity of our laws. Society requires the rule of law, but the rule of too much law means that the general public faces frustrating excesses created by overzeal- ous regulators and lawmakers. Robin Ellison reveals the failure of repeated attempts to limit the number and complexity of new laws, and the expan- sion of regulators. He challenges the legislature to introduce fewer yet bet- ter laws and regulators by encouraging lawmakers to adopt practices that improve the eiciency of the law and the lives of everyone. Too much law leads to frustration for all – Red Tape is a long overdue exposé of our legal system for practitioners and consumers alike. robin ellison is a solicitor, a consultant with an international law irm, Pinsent Masons, where he specialises in the development of pensions and related inancial services products for insurers and other providers, and is the Cass Business School Professor of Pensions Law and Economics, City, University of London. He acts for a number of governments and govern- ment agencies and has been an adviser to the House of Commons Select Committee on Work and Pensions. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org -

Education Act 2011
EXPLANATORY NOTES Education Act 2011 Chapter 21 £9.75 These notes refer to the Education Act 2011 (c.21) which received Royal Assent on 15 November 2011 EDUCATION ACT 2011 —————————— EXPLANATORY NOTES INTRODUCTION 1. These Explanatory Notes relate to the Education Act which received Royal Assent on 15 November 2011. They have been prepared by the Department for Education (DfE) and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament. 2. The Notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section or part of a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND 3. The Education Act is founded on the principles and proposals in the Department for Education November 2010 White Paper, The Importance of Teaching (CM-7980). The Act includes measures to increase the authority of teachers to discipline pupils and ensure good behaviour, with a general power to search pupils for items banned under the school’s rules, the ability to issue same-day detentions and pre-charge anonymity when faced with an allegation by a pupil of a criminal offence. 4. The Act removes duties on schools and local authorities to give them greater freedom to decide how to fulfil their functions. The Academies programme will be extended, with Academies for 16 to 19 year olds and alternative provision Academies. -
