    The law governing liability arising from personal injuries occurring in the course of recreational activities is exceedingly complex.1 One of the complexities is that statutory guarantees that services be provided with due care and skill under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) can be excluded via s139A Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (CCA), limited in its application to Commonwealth jurisdiction. Importantly, therefore, the exclusion provision is not contained in the ACL itself, nor are there equivalent provisions in the State FairTrading Acts or the CLAs.2 Photo copyright © Bill Madden nder previous consumer protection laws, and the most accurate legal descriptor of contract terms that exclusion clauses were effectively invalid, which exclude or limit liability is ‘exemption’ or ‘exception’ clauses). meant that someone injured in the course of Given the significant number of injuries that occur in the recreational activities always had the option to context of recreational activities, and the widespread use of sue for breach of consumer service guarantees.3 waivers, it is worth exploring when, precisely, such waivers UNow, if an exclusion clause is successfully incorporated are effective to deprive users of recreational services of their into a contract, such a clause will effectively preclude a rights to sue.

  • Portrait of a Bowbearer
    PORTRAIT OF A BOWBEARER William Bowland Richard Eastwood, the butcher’s son who became Bowbearer of the Forest of Bowland There have been Bowbearers of the Forest of Bowland since the twelfth century. Perhaps the most notorious of these being Nicholas Tempest who was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn in 1537 for his part in the ill-fated Pilgrimage of Grace, the Catholic revolt against Henry VIII. Thomas Lister Parker (b. 1797) was among the more colourful. His lavish re- modelling of Browsholme Hall led to ruin and bankruptcy while he exploited local history, through his patronage of Thomas Dunham Whitaker, to inflate the glories of his ancestral line. To Lister Parker, we owe the myth of the hereditary Bowbearer – a right he claimed proudly and disingenuously right up to the time of his death in 1858 (his cousin having legally assumed the Bowbearership in 1820 at the time he purchased the Browsholme estate). 1 However, for much of its long history, the Bowbearership – an ancient ceremonial office bestowed upon an official who accompanied the Lord of Bowland hunting and literally bore his bow – has been a quiet affair, held by the heads of worthy local families and sometimes their sons: the Rawlinsons, the Listers, the Fenwicks. On two occasions only in nine hundred years do we see the office retained within families and across generations for any period of time: by the de Boltons in the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth centuries; and by the Parkers in the three centuries after the Restoration. Early Bowbearers appear to have been foresters in fee , holders of their own feudal lands within the Forest.

  • Who Needs a Lord of Bowland?
    WHO NEEDS A LORD OF BOWLAND? William Bowland The age of feudalism has passed. We live in an age of democracy and equality. We are all free men and women. So, why on earth does the Forest need a Lord, let alone a 16th Lord also known as the Lord of the Fells with a baby son styled the Master of Bowland? Isn’t it all a bit silly and well, out-of-date? And what is all this stuff about Bowbearers and Chief Stewards? The answer of course is strictly speaking the Forest doesn’t need a Lord at all. No-one likes the idea of someone thinking he is better than the next man or looking down his nose at others. But anyone who thinks today’s Lordship of Bowland is about snobbery misses the point entirely. The Lordship is not a title of nobility. It is a feudal lordship, a piece of ancient property, and it is one of England’s oldest – almost 1000 years old. King William Rufus, son of the Conqueror, bestowed the title on one of his nobles, Roger de Poitou, in the late C11th. There have been more than 40 lords since then, including 16 monarchs (the so-called “Lord Kings of Bowland”), seven dukes, an earl and a baron. After 1885, the Lordship disappeared into a Towneley family trust before being claimed by Lord O’Hagan, a Towneley descendant, in 2008. Like other Lords before me, including the famous Peregrine Towneley in 1835, I became Lord of Bowland by “private treaty”. Like Peregrine, I bought the title but in my case, I did so to prevent it disappearing into the possession of some uncaring rich businessman or foreign buyer.

I met Christian Berglund in my first week at Loughborough University in 1990. Our shared interests, cricket, golf and ale mostly, made friendship easy as did his ability to make me laugh. Usually intentional, occas- ionally not, he was one of the funniest men I’ve ever met. He must have been because to this day I still think of him and chuckle. Of those still polluting the earth I must make special mention of one, a chap universally known as Spiller.
