As befits the first edition in a new year that is the first year in a new decade (and with me as a Officers & Members 3 new editor), the January edition of the BIALL Newsletter is truly focused on all things Standing Committees 4 new and forward-looking. We have analysis of significant new developments, as Stephen Gregory examines the implications for legal information professionals of the News from Justis Publishing 7 referendum on devolution in Wales to be held on 3rd March 2011. We have insight into new experiences, as Marianne Barber discusses guest editing an issue of Legal Be My Guest: Information Management. We look at the issues facing new law librarians with Helen Guest Editing LIM 9 Marshall posing questions about the place of legal training within Library and Information Management courses. Rebecca Furness who is currently studying on one 2010 Dissertation Award 9 of these courses gives feedback on the benefits of attending the BIALL/CLISIG Graduate Open Day. Lastly we cast an eye to new horizons and far-flung shores as An Update to Law Making Rosemary Shakespeare, recipient of a BIALL Bursary, reports on attending the second Powers within Wales 10 ALLA & NZLLA Joint Conference in Melbourne. Enough inspiration to fire up those New Year’s resolutions we hope, and in a final nod to old and new acquaintance the A Day in the Life 12 editorial team would like to bid a fond farewell to Laura Griffiths as Newsletter editor On the Spot 13 and also offer a warm welcome to Stephen Wheeler.

By the time you read this edition of the Newsletter Christmas, and all the festivities surrounding it, will be a distant Y memory and 2011 will be well and truly upon us. R From a BIALL perspective the finale to the 2010 year saw the Association very well A represented at Online Information 2010 held at Olympia. BIALL occupied a space in U the exhibition and with several of our colleagues giving presentations within the N conference programme, legal information and law librarianship had a strong presence. A I am particularly grateful to Catherine McArdle, Chair of PR and Promotions, and to J her colleagues on that committee for helping to make the arrangements for the exhibition stand and for mustering the relevant leaflets and material for display. Thanks also go to those members who volunteered their services to staff the BIALL Stand during the exhibition opening hours. Our participation at Online each year is essential and helps to maintain and promote our profile within the information business. The last few years have been difficult for many people but I hope that 2011 might bring some fresh optimism to the profession. Where BIALL is concerned the David Wills New Year is already kicking off with a number of events – a seminar course on recruitment and selection (26th January) and the BIALL Quiz (on 2nd February) both organised by the Professional Development Committee with the latter kindly being sponsored by Wildy & Sons and Prenax; special thanks go to John Evans for being our quizmaster! Before that, on 14th January, the business aspect of the year begins with the first Council Meeting. At a social level the BIALL Cheese and Wine evening takes place on 25th February and, once again, we’re enormously grateful to Lincoln’s Inn for their hospitality regarding that event. All our Committees are busy at the present time with Membership Services digesting the results of their recent survey; the LIM committee busy considering applications for a new editor; LIG continuing their k dialogue with Informa Publishing; ABC about to announce bursary opportunities for u . g members; the Publications Committee continue their various projects including the r o next edition of the BIALL Handbook; and the Web Committee are currently . l l addressing blog issues and other initiatives associated with the website. a i b The 42nd BIALL Study Conference & Exhibition, which is scheduled for 16th -18th . w June 2011, and to be held in the futuristic surroundings of the iconic Sage Gateshead w in Newcastle, already has an exciting and highly relevant programme thanks to the w hard work of our Conference Committee. I very much hope as many of you as s n possible will decide to join us by the banks of the Tyne in the North East of England in a i June. r a r b i L David Wills w BIALL President a L f o n o i t a i c o s s A h s i r I & h s i t i r B e h t f o r e t t e l s w e N 2 K C A B 1 Council Officers and Members 1 0 2 President Council Member David Wills Emily Allbon Y Head Librarian City University R Squire Law Library Northampton Square A University of Cambridge London EC1V 0HB U 10 West Road Tel: 0207 040 4020 N Cambridge CB3 9DZ Email: [email protected] Tel: 01223 330077 A J Email: [email protected] President Elect Council Member Susan Scorey Ruth Bird The College of Law Bodleian Law Librarian 14 Store Street Bodleian Law Library London Manor Road WC13 7DE Oxford OX1 3UR Tel: 01483 216580 Tel: 01865 271451 Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Immediate Past President Council Member Daniella King James Mullan Winckworth Sherwood Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP k Minerva House 35 Vine Street u . g 5 Montague Close London EC3N 2PX r o London SE1 9BB Tel: 020 7861 4222 . l l Tel: 0207 593 5053 Email: [email protected] a i Email: [email protected] b . w w w s Honorary Treasurer n Council Member a i Alden Bowers Loyita Worley r a Wildy & Sons Ltd r The Broadgate Tower b i Lincoln’s Inn Archway 20 Primrose Street L Carey Street London w a London WC2A 2JD EC2A 2RS L Tel: 020 7492 0383 f Tel: 020 3116 2580 o Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] n o i t a i c o s Honorary Secretary Council Member s A Elaine Bird John Franssen h Tel: 07788 443817 Davies Arnold Cooper s i r Email: [email protected] 6-8 Bouverie Street I London & EC4Y 8DD h s i Tel: 020 7936 2222 t i r Email: [email protected] B e h t f o r e t t e l s w e N 3 K C A B 1 News from Standing Committees 1 0 2 Legal Information Group (LIG) Y R In the last newsletter I reported that BIALL was going to write a formal letter of complaint to Informa about a range of issues. This was sent on 8th November, and on A 17th November BIALL President David Wills and I were invited to a meeting with the U CEO of Informa Business Information. I communicated the results of the meeting to N the BIALL mailtalk forum on 22nd November, and as most of you will have seen that A post I won't go through it again here. Do get in touch if you want more details or J have any questions. I spent quite a bit of time over the next month fielding questions from BIALL members and trying to iron out wrinkles with Informa. I can't pretend that everything has gone the way I wanted, but that is the nature of a negotiation. I think that it has proved to be a worthwhile exercise, and I hope that BIALL members at least now have more information about what to expect from Informa. By the time you read this, a new Head of Key Accounts should have started work at the company; we shall see how customer relations develop over the coming year. David Percik On 24th January LIG will be hosting its annual meeting with representatives of suppliers. At the time of writing the full list of attendees is not known, but several new companies have expressed an interest in being represented, so we hope that attendance will be up again year-on-year.

Page 7 Simon Konsta, Partner, and May Ahmed, Associate Flood Re: an update In recent months, the media has been awash with headlines Page 9 that suggest that the UK, and the London property A view from Hong Kong of the market in particular, has become a safe haven for money surveyors and valuers’ market Page 11 launderers. Aside from the inevitable hyperbole, these Footnotes headlines carry an element of truth and, more importantly, Page 12 act as a cautionary reminder of the pervasive nature of corruption, particularly within the construction industry. In 2011, Transparency International’s Bribe Payers Index indicated that, out of the 19 different business sectors it surveyed across 28 of the world’s largest economies (including the UK), bribery was perceived to be most common in the public works contracts and construction sector. This perception of the construction industry remains and is not confined to jurisdictions that are seemingly more corrupt than the UK1. A report produced by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) in September 2013 found that 49% of the 701 UK based construction professionals it surveyed considered that corruption was either extremely or fairly common within the UK construction industry. This sentiment was reinforced by a subsequent report published by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD) in December 2014, which analysed 427 bribery enforcement actions across 17 countries (including the UK) between February 1999 and June 2014 and noted that almost two thirds of the cases occurred in just four sectors, with the construction industry ranking as the joint second most corrupt of those sectors.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. From Coal Pit to Leather Pit: Life Stories of Robert Semple A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a PhD in History at Massey University Carina Hickey 2010 ii Abstract In the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography Len Richardson described Robert Semple as one of the most colourful leaders of the New Zealand labour movement in the first half of the twentieth century. Semple was a national figure in his time and, although historians had outlined some aspects of his public career, there has been no full-length biography written on him. In New Zealand history his characterisation is dominated by two public personas. Firstly, he is remembered as the radical organiser for the New Zealand Federation of Labour (colloquially known as the Red Feds), during 1910-1913. Semple’s second image is as the flamboyant Minister of Public Works in the first New Zealand Labour government from 1935-49. This thesis is not organised in a chronological structure as may be expected of a biography but is centred on a series of themes which have appeared most prominently and which reflect the patterns most prevalent in Semple’s life. The themes were based on activities which were of perceived value to Semple. Thus, the thematic selection was a complex interaction between an author’s role shaping and forming Semple’s life and perceived real patterns visible in the sources.

    Legal update on insolvency law - April 2013 David Perry, Scott Barker, Willie Palmer, Jan Etwell, Scott Abel, Susan Rowe, David Broadmore, Myles O'Brien, Kelly Paterson, Seb Bisley, Peter Niven 2 April 2013 Court of Appeal rules in favour of liquidators on good faith defence to voidable transaction claims In our last newsletter we reported on three decisions from the High Court on the good faith defence under section 296(3) of the Companies Act 1993 to voidable transaction claims, amongst others. Late last week the Court of Appeal issued its judgment in Farrell and Rogan as Liquidators of Contract Engineering Limited (in receivership and liquidation) v Fences and Kerbs Limited [2013] NZCA 91 on the interpretation of the meaning of the words "gave value" in that subsection. Section 296(3) stipulates a transaction cannot be set aside if the recipient of property shows that the creditor acted in good faith, did not suspect insolvency, and that gave value for the property or altered its position in reliance on receiving it. On 7 February 2012 the Court of Appeal had heard three appeals by the liquidators. In all of the cases the High Court had held that a creditor could be considered to have "given value" where goods or services were provided prior to payment. The Court of Appeal overturned these rulings and held that an antecedent debt or value given prior to receipt of property by the creditor did not constitute giving of value under section 296(3)(c). In reaching this conclusion it focussed on differences between New Zealand and Australian provisions that appeared to indicate Parliament intended to adopt a much narrower interpretation in a temporal sense, by constraining the giving of value to value given at the time of payment.
