The proposed order is termed the Network Rail (Oxford Station Phase 2 Improvements (Land Only)) Order ('the Order'). 1.2 The purpose of the Order is to facilitate improved capacity and capability on the “Oxford Corridor” (Didcot North Junction to Aynho Junction) to meet the Strategic Business Plan objections for capacity enhancement and journey time improvements. As well as enhancements to rail infrastructure, improvements to highways are being undertaken as part of the works. Together, these form part of Oxford Station Phase 2 Improvements ('the Project'). 1.3 The Project forms part of a package of rail enhancement schemes which deliver significant economic and strategic benefits to the wider Oxford area and the country. The enhanced infrastructure in the Oxford area will provide benefits for both freight and passenger services, as well as enable further schemes in this strategically important rail corridor including the introduction of East West Rail services in 2024. 1.4 The works comprised in the Project can be summarised as follows: • Creation of a new ‘through platform’ with improved passenger facilities. • A new station entrance on the western side of the railway. • Replacement of Botley Road Bridge with improvements to the highway, cycle and footways.

  • LGBT History Month 2016
    Inner Temple Library LGBT History Month 2016 ‘The overall aim of LGBT History Month is to promote equality and diversity for the benefit of the public. This is done by: increasing the visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (“LGBT”) people, their history, lives and their experiences in the curriculum and culture of educational and other institutions, and the wider community; raising awareness and advancing education on matters affecting the LGBT community; working to make educational and other institutions safe spaces for all LGBT communities; and promoting the welfare of LGBT people, by ensuring that the education system recognises and enables LGBT people to achieve their full potential, so they contribute fully to society and lead fulfilled lives, thus benefiting society as a whole.’ Source: www.lgbthistorymonth.org.uk/about Legal Milestones ‘[A] wallchart has been produced by the Forum for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Equality in Further and Higher Education and a group of trade unions in association with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) History Month. The aim has been to produce a resource to support those raising awareness of sexual orientation and gender identity equality and diversity. Centred on the United Kingdom, it highlights important legal milestones and identifies visible and significant contributions made by individuals, groups and particularly the labour movement.’ Source: www.lgbthistorymonth.org.uk/wallchart The wallchart is included in this leaflet, and we have created a timeline of important legal milestones. We have highlighted a selection of material held by the Inner Temple Library that could be used to read about these events in more detail.

  • DIXON V R – PROPERTY in DIGITAL INFORMATION?
    ANUSHA WIJEWICKRAMA DIXON v R – PROPERTY IN DIGITAL INFORMATION? Submitted for the LLB (Honours) Degree Faculty of Law Victoria University of Wellington 2016 2 In 2015, New Zealand’s Supreme Court ruled in Dixon v R that digital files are property for the limited purposes of a computer misuse provision – s 249(1)(a) of the Crimes Act 1961. The Court said it was distinguishing digital files from pure information, thus it was not challenging the long-standing legal position that information cannot be property. This paper analyses the Court’s purposive, conceptual and factual reasoning, ultimately concluding that a distinction between digital files and information is difficult to justify. It argues that the Court’s decision therefore actually erodes the traditional legal position. It concludes that Parliament, which can more fully explore policy considerations, might be better placed to determine whether digital files should be property. Potential ramifications of the Supreme Court’s decision are also briefly outlined. Key words: property; digital files; information; Crimes Act 1961 s 249(1)(a); computer misuse I Introduction New Zealand's Supreme Court ruled in Dixon v R that digital files are not simply information, but are “property” for the purposes of s 249(1)(a) of the Crimes Act 1961.1 In doing so the Court expressly stated that it was not reconsidering the orthodox legal position that there is no property in pure information.2 Instead it used a purposive approach to determine Parliament's intent regarding computer misuse, and deemed digital files to be property for the limited purpose of s 249(1)(a).

Other related subjects: Information technology Keywords: Computer crime; Computer security Legislation: Computer Misuse Act 1990 s.1 , s.3 Police and Justice Act 2006 s.35 , s.36 *Crim. L.R. 955 Summary: The age of the internet has thrown down some real challenges to the Computer Misuse Act 1990. Recently, the Government made changes to this piece of legislation, in an attempt to meet two of those challenges--the proliferation of “ Denial of Service” (DoS) attacks, and the creation and dissemination of “ Hackers' tools” --and to fulfil international commitments on cybercrime. Yet some of these new measures invite criticisms of policy, form and content, and bring doubts about how easy to interpret, and how enforceable, they will be. Introduction Finally, after three aborted attempts to make changes to it within the last five years,1 the Computer Misuse Act (CMA) 1990 has been amended; specifically, both added to and altered.2 The offence of unauthorised access to computer material, 3 formerly a summary offence, has now become an offence triable either way, and the offence of unauthorised modification of computer material 4 has been replaced by the offence of unauthorised acts with intent to impair, or recklessness as to impairing, the operation of a computer etc. The time is right for a close re-examination of this piece of legislation.
