  • English Legal System – an Overview
    1 English legal system – an overview Learning objectives By the end of this chapter you should: • appreciate the characteristics of law; • be able to identify sources of law and explain the different processes of law- making; • understand the various meanings of the term common law; • know in outline the structure, composition, and jurisdiction of the courts; • be able to explain the impact of membership of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights; and • have an overview of the bodies and personnel of the law. Introduction The study of the English legal system involves two different, but related processes. First, as a law student, you must learn a large body of factual material about the fundamental concepts of law, the sources of English law, and the institutions and the personnel of the law. You will encounter the material in this chapter during your study of the English legal system but you will fi nd that the material also underpins an understanding of other substantive modules, such as Contract, Tort, and Criminal law. This information contains the ‘basic tools’ that a law student needs to start to understand law and how it operates. Second, such knowledge is essential to the next process which involves a critical evaluation of the operation of law and its institutions; it is one thing to say what the law is, but quite another to explain if the law or an institution is operating effect- ively. A sound knowledge base is needed to found critical studies of the legal system or of the ‘law in action’.

The legislation includes several exemptions which allow the use of a maximum of two dogs for certain hunting activities, including stalking and flushing. The exemptions under the Act can be amended using a statutory instrument with the approval of both Houses. The Conservative Government included a manifesto commitment to repeal the Hunting Act. However, in July 2015 the Government announced that it intended to amend the legislation to remove the limit on the number of dogs, and instead replace it with a requirement that the number of dogs used is appropriate to the terrain and any other relevant circumstance.

  • R V ADAMS, Appeal Against Conviction. Unreported, Cambridge Crown Court, 9 May 2019
    R v ADAMS, appeal against conviction. Unreported, Cambridge Crown Court, 9 May 2019. Hunting Act 2004; exempt hunting under Schedule 1; exemption under “flushing from cover for the purposes of falconry” Fox hunting has continued despite the Hunting Act 2004. There is a fairly small section of the population passionately in favour of hunting, with comparable section fiercely opposed to it, leaving a majority with a spectrum of views, perhaps tilting towards those who think it a distasteful activity, not worth reviving. Noticeably, Jeremy Hunt as a candidate for Conservative leadership this July, briefly favoured promising a further vote in Parliament, but soon backed off as he realised that it could cost him support within the Conservative party membership. Theresa May went into the 2017 election promising a further vote in the new parliament on whether to repeal the Hunting Act but in the event, so certain was its defeat, there was no attempt to introduce such a bill. Fox hunts have none the less continued to meet despite the restrictions of the Hunting Act 2004. They have had make adaptions. Some have organised “drag hunts” – that is following a scent laid by pulling a bag over the ground for the hounds to follow. Other fox hunts spotted an exemption in the Hunting Act. Under the Act hunting a wild mammal with dogs is unlawful unless it is one of the exempt activities set out in Schedule 1. Para 6 of Schedule 1 provides: Flushing a wild mammal from cover is exempt hunting if undertaken– (a) For the purpose of enabling a bird of prey to hunt the wild mammal, and (b) (Is on land the hunter owns or where he has permission to hunt) Fox hunts have therefore gone out with a golden eagle or similar bird of prey ready for release, and claimed that what was actually going on was a form of falconry.

  • 40 Dogs to Kill a Fox: Amending the Hunting Act 2004 Gregory Gordon
    40 dogs to kill a fox: Amending the Hunting Act 2004 Gregory Gordon, Guildhall Chambers If hunting is banned, I might as well leave the country and spend the rest of my life skiing.1 So said, it is reported, the heir to the throne. It must be frightening and confusing to find yourself on the wrong side of history just as the tides of social acceptability change against you. Opponents of the Hunting Act 2004 assured us it would destroy rural livelihoods, lead to the destruction of thousands of bloodhounds and overrun the countryside with foxes. Now that none of the above has come to pass, and public opinion remains firmly in favour of the Act, you would be forgiven for expecting that those who enjoy watching a pack of dogs tear a fox apart had nowhere left to turn. Not so. Free Vote As early as next Wednesday [15 July 2015] the Government plans to allow a free vote in the Commons to relax the law on hunting mammals with dogs. The Conservatives are not yet fulfilling their manifesto pledge to allow a vote on the full repeal of the Act, but may not need to if their deceptively dry proposed amendments are passed: the tortuously named Hunting Act (Exempt Hunting) (Amendment) Order 2015. Currently, only two dogs are permitted to “flush” a fox (who has, for fear of its life, taken cover underground) to the surface where the barrel of a gun awaits. The amendments would permit 40 hounds to do the job. Why? Are some burrows so cavernous that only 40 dogs could find a fox hidden therein? No.

    Corporate Peer Challenge Runnymede Borough Council 9 th-11th October 2019 Feedback Report 1. Executive Summary The Borough of Runnymede is a largely prosperous district in North West Surrey with a population of population of 88,0001 . It covers 7,804 hectares, of which 6,136 hectares is Green Belt. The Council has an emerging local plan ‘Runnymede 2030 Local Plan’ and has adopted a strong commercial approach to deliver financial sustainability and progress regeneration of its main towns. The Council is one of 11 districts and boroughs in Surrey and has a strong working relationship with the County Council and its neighbouring boroughs. The Council has taken bold decisions to invest in commercial property in order to manage the challenges of falling revenue support grant and other funding sources. It has moved faster than many councils of its size in doing so. Consequently, the Council is in a more financially sustainable position than many other district councils and has taken a clear political decision not to cut customer facing services. The Council has a positive reputation with partners; is well respected; and its strong financial position has afforded it the opportunity to deliver services and, in some instances, take on new services for partners. The Council has clear ambition to extend this further and redefine its role as a place shaper, local service provider and system leader. The Council has demonstrated confidence in taking bold decisions and is now in a position where it needs to invest in enhancing its strategic capacity to channel its ambition on place leadership and identify the next phase for the Council.

My e-mail to Scottish MPs (copied below) will explain why this is such a vitally important issue.
