Court Scenes - Paul Cheston - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Court Scenes - Paul Cheston - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Priscilla Coleman has been drawing court scenes for over 20 years. The pictures collected here mark many of the most important trials of that period. There is a widespread misunderstanding among those who see pictures on TV or in the newspapers that an artist can sketch as much as they like in court. As lawyers know, far from taking a palate and easel into the public gallery, any attempt at photography, drawings or visual representations is strictly verboten. Artists have to memorise in court the colours, shades, clothing, facial mannerisms and physical idiocyncracies then go out and draw a likeness from memory . . . against the clock.

Inns of Court - Timothy Daniell - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Inns of Court - Timothy Daniell - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This walker’s guide to London’s unique Inns of Court gives just the right amount of information to encourage the visitor to look more closely at these ancient centres of tranquillity and charm.Several centuries ago the Inns of Court were any of a sizable number of buildings or precincts where barristers traditionally lodged, trained and carried on their profession. Over the centuries the number of active Inns of Court was reduced to the present four: Gray’s Inn, Lincoln''s Inn, The Inner Temple and The Middle Temple. Lincoln''s Inn is able to trace its official records to 1422. However, by tradition, none of the Inns claims to be the oldest of the four. The Inns are near the western boundary of the City of London; nearby are the Royal Courts of Justice. Each Inn is a substantial complex usually with a great hall, chapel or church, libraries, gardens, sets of chambers for many hundreds of barristers covering several acres. The layout is similar to that of an ‘Oxbridge‘ college. The ‘chambers’ were originally used as residences as well as business premises by many of the barristers, but today, with a small number of exceptions, they serve as offices only. The four inns are close to one another in central London. Middle Temple and Inner Temple are liberties of the City of London, which means they are within the historic boundaries of the City but are not subject to its jurisdiction. They operate as their own local authorities. These two inns neighbour each other and occupy the core of the Temple area. Gray''s Inn and Lincoln''s Inn are also near the boundary with the City of London. Tim Daniel’s popular guide to the Inns of Court, now approaching its fortieth year in print, offers an easy to use and portable reference aid. Tim’s lively writing style invites further investigation and gently encourages the reader to delve more deeply into the histories and occasional mysteries of these fascinating enclaves of legal learning.

High Principle, Low Politics, and the Emergence of the Supreme Court - Frederic Reynold - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

His memoir, ‘Chance, Cheek and Some Heroics’, was published in 2018

Court and Bowled: Tales of Cricket and the Law - James Wilson - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Court and Bowled: Tales of Cricket and the Law - James Wilson - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

‘A surprising gem’ Wisden Cricketers'' Almanack''In summertime village cricket is the delight of everyone'' the English judge Lord Denning famously wrote, in a case brought by someone who clearly disagreed with him. The case was just one example of how the game of cricket cannot always avoid the law. Neighbours or passers-by get hit by stray cricket balls, protesters interrupt matches, players get into fights, take drugs, and sue each other for libel.Court and Bowled examines a number of stories where cricket or cricketers gave rise to a legal dispute. Some involved the giants of the game such as Grace, Botham and Imran. Others involved village cricketers of more modest talents who were unable to keep the peace between themselves. Some cases were of critical importance to the game, such as Kerry Packer’s High Court action in the late 1970s. Others were rather more trivial, such as spectators indulging in lewd attention-seeking behaviour. All of the stories demonstrated something common to both cricket matches and court cases: behind the intrigue, entertainment and theatrics of both there are always real people and real human stories. The book is written in a clear, accessible style, free of legal technicalities. It has been updated for the paperback edition to include the tragic death of Phillip Hughes, the perjury trial of Chris Cairns and the ball-tampering incident involving Faf du Plessis.

A Victorian Tragedy: The Extraordinary Case of Banks v Goodfellow - Martyn Frost - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A Victorian Tragedy: The Extraordinary Case of Banks v Goodfellow - Martyn Frost - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''A Victorian Tragedy'', for the first time, describes how the landmark court case of Banks v Goodfellow (1870) came about, what happened to the protagonists and how an enlightened judgment provided a practical definition of testamentary capacity that has since been used throughout the common law world law. This fascinating story is set against the backdrop of the mid-Victorian world and how it affected the lives of those caught up in the case.Set in the Lake District, around Keswick, the central issue was the mental illness of the testator, John Banks, and how he coped with living in a world that often derided his paranoia – “From the appearance of the man anyone would take him for a person out of his mind” as a local clergyman put it. The lives of John’s relatives were scarred, and often ended early, by other illnesses common at that time, but these lives also interweave with 19th century issues of emigration, marriage reform and early mortality. Extensive use is made of original court papers and contemporary newspaper reports, both from the national and local press, to present the picture that was placed before the court of how John Banks was affected by his insane delusions. The conduct of the Assize court hearing is explained, together with how the court and jury dealt with the radically opposed evidence from either side.''A Victorian Tragedy; covers this case in detail not previously dealt with before and offers a different approach to re-evaluate an important case in the context of its time and the treatment of the insane in the 19th century. While the book will undoubtedly appeal to lawyers, the book’s portrayal of a mid-Victorian family and the treatment of the insane will also be of interest to the more general reader.

Drink and Drug Drive Cases Notes - Pauline M. Callow - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Drink and Drug Drive Cases Notes - Pauline M. Callow - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Many thousands of people are prosecuted each year for drink and drug driving offences. The legislation favours the prosecution in a number of ways, for example, by requiring those under investigation to give evidence against themselves in the form of specimens of breath, blood or urine, but also affords certain safeguards to suspects. The conviction rate is exceptionally high, and the provisions have given rise to a wealth of case law.Drink and Drug Drive Case Notes comprises summaries of the many cases on drink driving, and the fewercases on drug driving, which have come before the High Court, the Court of Appeal, the House of Lords and, in one instance, the Supreme Court. Over six hundred judgments are summarised. Each note is presented as a short statement of the facts of the case, the question(s) put to the appeal court and an extract from the judgment. The notes are intended to provide a broad outline of the trends in the case law and as starting points for readers seeking guidance on particular issues.This third edition includes notes of some seventy-five cases decided since the second edition was published. Themes running through the new cases include the interpretation of the provisions on reasonable cause to believe that the breath analysis device has not produced a reliable indication of the suspect’s breath alcohol level, and on the application of the Criminal Procedure Rules to proceedings for drink and drug driving. At the time of publication, the so-called “statutory option” has just been removed, and section 5A of the Road Traffic Act 1988, creating new offences of driving, attempting to drive, and in charge, with a concentration of a specified controlled drug above a specified limit, has come into force. The offences are framed in much the same terms of the excess alcohol offences, but testing will be by the analysis of blood or urine only. While much of the case law concerning drink-driving will be relevant, the new provisions will no doubt give rise to their own body of case law in due time.Drink and Drug Drive Case Notes was first published, as Drink Drive Case Notes, as a product of collaboration between Lion Laboratories – the manufacturers of much of the breath-testing equipment used in the UK and throughout the world – and the author. This expanded and updated edition of Drink and Drug Drive Case Notes will prove a useful reference for police, prosecutors, defenders and legal advisers.“As a reference guide, this is an extremely helpful addition to a legal adviser’s kitbag.” The Justices’ Clerk, of the first edition“[A]n extremely useful complement to any standard text book on drink driving matters. I would commend it not only to defence lawyers but also to those who prosecute in this area of law.”Solicitors Journal, of the second edition

Adoption Law: A Practical Guide - Nasreen Pearce - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Adoption Law: A Practical Guide - Nasreen Pearce - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This new edition provides a comprehensive guide to the law, practice, and procedure for lawyers, adoption agencies, support services and other professional bodies who are concerned with adoption. It covers each stage of the adoption process, including the difficult issue of contact between the child and their birth parents and the alternative options available by reference to the relevant case law and regulations in relation to domestic adoptions as well as adoptions with a foreign element.

It also outlines the rights of those parties to challenge decisions made by the professional bodies involved in the process. The second edition has been updated to include important developments, such as: - the impact of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms on all aspects of the law relating to adoption; - recent case law on notification to fathers and the child’s birth families of the plan to place the child for adoption, including procedure relating to preparation before proceedings are commenced and procedure for applications in the family court and High Court; - case law in relation to placement orders, such as leave to revoke a placement order and oppose adoption and post placement contact as set out in the most recent case of R & C (Adoption or Fostering) [2024] EWCA Civ 1302; - new coverage of post placement contact and post-adoption contact details in the wake of recent reports and research; and - two recent lectures by the President of the Family Division on the modern approach to adoption and open adoption in particular.

The Drink- and Drug-Drive Offences: A Handbook for Practitioners - P. M. Callow - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Drink- and Drug-Drive Offences: A Handbook for Practitioners - P. M. Callow - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Since the second edition of this work was published, the drug-driving offences introduced in 2015 have come into their own. Prosecutions for these offences now result in almost as many convictions as for the equivalent excess alcohol offences. The overall conviction rate continues to be extremely high, at around 95 per cent. This third edition takes account of some forty judgments of the appellate courts since the publication of the second edition. The more recent challenges to the drink- and drug- driving regimes have taken on a somewhat different character from before. While the interpretation of the statutory road traffic provisions continues to be developed in the case law, other issues are coming to the fore. The case law on the circumstances in which judicial review is appropriate has been drawn together. This line of cases often features contested decisions on adjournments – common issues are lack of diligence in preparation for trial and/or failure by the court below properly to scrutinise the application for adjournment. The appellate courts have remained constant in insisting on “rigorous scrutiny” of requests for adjournments and have robustly applied the Criminal Procedure Rules aimed at avoiding delay. In this edition, the commentary on the difficult cases of DPP v Carless [2005] EWHC 3234 (Admin) and R v Coe [2009] EWCA Crim 1452 has been revised to emphasise that neither case sets a precedent for the admission in evidence of the analysis of blood specimens taken outside the regime of the Road Traffic Act 1988. This practical and accessible book is intended for all practitioners concerned with this area of law, whether police, prosecution, defence, or court officials, and adopts a neutral standpoint between their various interests.

How Judges Decide Cases: Reading, Writing and Analysing Judgments - Andrew Goodman - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

How Judges Decide Cases is a unique and practical guide which looks at how cases are decided and judgments are written. It examines the style and language of judges expressing judicial opinion and considers the drive for rational justice. The book is founded upon independent research in the form of interviews conducted with judges at every level, from deputy district judges to justices of the Supreme Court, and the practical application of academic material more usually devoted to the structure and analysis of wider prose writing. This new edition has been revised to take into account modern scientific thinking on bias in decision-making and is generic to all areas of contentious law. Newly appointed recorders, deputy judges, tribunal chairman, lay magistrates and arbitrators as well as experienced practitioners will find it invaluable as a guide to the deconstruction of judgments for the purpose of appeal.

As in Memory Long - Peter Millett - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

As in Memory Long - Peter Millett - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Widely recognised as one of the most brilliant and commercially minded judges of his generation, Peter Millett was involved in many leading cases of the day, including those arising out of the insolvency of the International Tin Council, the collapse of the Maxwell empire, and the Pinochet case, as well as cases of child custody and adoption, forgery, provocation, wrongful pregnancy, and even the Chinese system of concubinage.

Effective Written Advocacy - Andrew Goodman - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Effective Written Advocacy - Andrew Goodman - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Is it possible to win your case before arriving at court? The author, a practising barrister for over thirty years, believes a highly focused approach to your written advocacy – correspondence, written negotiation, Part 36 offers and skeleton arguments, written opening notes for trial, closing submissions and costs submissions – will put you in the best possible position to do just that. The importance of oral advocacy in deciding cases is not in dispute, but increasingly judges form pre-trial opinions of the likely outcome from written material, notably the skeleton or opening note. The application, trial or appeal then becomes a process to measure the judge’s pre-formed view. The effective written closing submission will become part of the judgment. This book not only offers a practical and comprehensive guide to effective written advocacy, but provides worked examples drawn from real cases contributed from leading advocates such as Sue Carr QC, David Etherington QC, Lord Faulks QC, Andrew Hachhauser QC, Richard Lissack QC, Lord Pannick QC, and Lord Sumption.Of particular interest to both practitioners and students of litigation practice, the second edition offers 17 new examples together with a discussion on written advocacy in family and criminal cases. Invaluable to the practising lawyer, this book will also be compelling reading for anyone with an interest in using the legal process."Goodman has produced a first-class practical guide to modern written advocacy. The beauty of Goodman''s new edition lies with the working examples from leading current advocates so we know what it is that the judges want. Effective Written Advocacy is an advocate''s bible both invaluable and compelling...should be compulsory reading for all law students"Phillip Goodman, Richmond Green Chambers.

Forensic Fables by O - Theo Mathew - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Forensic Fables by O - Theo Mathew - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Forensic Fables appeared first in the Law Journal and then in book form between 1926 and 1932. They were published anonymously, but their authorship was quickly guessed. The literary style and the pictorial delineation were alike unmistakable. They were the work of Theo Mathew composed in his study on the ground floor at the back of 31 Cornwall Gardens. They show his wit in all its maturity Theo Mathew was born in 1866, the elder son of Lord Justice Mathew. Educated at the Oratory School and Trinity College, Oxford he was called to the bar in 189O and practiced in the South-Eastern Circuit and in London. He established a substantial common law practice and was frequently briefed in commercial cases. In later years he specialised increasingly in libel. He was the author of The Practice of the Commercial Court and for some years was Editor of Commercial Cases. Recorder of Margate from 1913 to 1927 and of Maidstone from 1927 to 1936, Theo Mathew was a Bencher of Lincoln’s Inn and was due to become Treasurer when he died in the summer of 1939. Throughout his life, in addition to his legal work, he found time to write articles literary and historical, mainly with a legal flavour. He was widely recognised as the wittiest member of the Bar, his style lighter than his father''s and with a perfect spontaneity. He had a delightful sense of the ridiculous and had a merciless eye for the pretentious. Nor was his wit limited to legal subjects; he admitted once, very reluctantly, that he was responsible for the famous ‘Dr. Livingstone, I presume?’ story. Theo Mathew had a deep respect for the traditions of his profession and great affection for so many of those who practised it. This book is evidence of both.

The Old Munster Circuit - Maurice Healy - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Old Munster Circuit - Maurice Healy - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Old Munster Circuit the legal memoirs of Maurice Healy, was first published in 1939 by Michael Joseph, and has reappeared in several editions over the last 60 years. It has been out of print in recent times and much sought after. This edition also contains a Biographical Introduction by Charles Lysaght.These amusing memoirs affectionately describe the workings and people of the Munster Circuit, where Healy practised from 1910 to 1914. Healy goes to some length in trying to describe and explain his countrymen to an English audience: "The difference of atmosphere between the two countries was exemplified in a case of my father''s which came to be tried in London before Mr Justice Darling. The point at issue was the identity of a valuable picture, and hosts of witnesses, many of them humble Irish folk, were examined on either side. One of these Irishmen who had tuned his harp to the romantic air of his own County Court was a shock to a judge of pedestrian imagination. Darling at last turned to him sternly and said ''Tell me, in your country, what happens to a witness who does not tell the truth?'' ''Begor, me Lord,'' replied the Irishman, with a candour that disarmed all criticism, ''I think his side usually wins.''One of Ten Literary Classics chosen by Gary Slapper in The Times Student Law Supplement of 18.10.2005. He writes:-''''Literature with a legal content is extensive and highly varied. The law is interwoven with all life, and students wishing to excel at law should read widely. The more styles, forms and epochs of literature you read, the better.'''' Of The Old Munster Circuit he saysA charming unstructured anthology of humorous legal anecdotes from Ireland. The stories include instances of judicial severity like that of Lord Justice Holmes’s sentencing an old man from a farming community to 15 years. The convict cried for mercy saying he would not live to finish the sentence. “Well,” said the judge, “try to do as much of it as you can!” Publishing HistoryFirst Edition Michael Joseph 1939 Revised Edition Michael Joseph 1939 Reprinted Michael Joseph 1948 Reprinted Wildy & Sons 1977 Reprinted Mercier Press 1979 Reprinted Mercier Press 1986 Reprinted with new Biographical Introduction by Wildy & Sons 2001Reprinted by Wildy, Simmonds & Hill Publishing 2015

Wildy's Handbook for Magistrates - Robert J. Allan - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Wildy’s Handbook for Magistrates (previously published as Blackstone’s Handbook for Magistrates) is a readable and comprehensive account of the work of magistrates in England and Wales. It examines how magistrates are appointed; what they are empowered to do; how their courts are organised and operated; the kinds of matters they deal with – crimes such as theft and assault, traffic offences and issues concerning children and families; how they go about assessing evidence and deciding what to accept as true; how they decide whether defendants should be released on bail or kept in custody; the sentences they may impose and how they endeavour to make the punishment fit the crime. The book also looks at how legal aid works, a subject of continuing public and political concern. Last, but not least, it gives a flavour of what life as a magistrate is really like, touching on the pressures, responsibilities and rewards of the work. This new edition reflects the many changes introduced over recent years. These include revisions to the procedure for applying to become a magistrate and the training requirements; the introduction of the Criminal Procedure Rules, case management and other measures to reduce delay; the landmark Courts Act 2003; amendments to the Bail Act; and wholesale revision of the approach to sentencing.The authors, one a deputy justices’ clerk, the other a serving magistrate, bring two different, but equally important, areas of experience and expertise to the work and explain complicated concepts in a straightforward manner, keeping legal jargon to a minimum. “…a welcome addition to the list of appropriate books for magistrates and prospective magistrates. It is aimed not only at newly appointed members of the bench, but will also be of considerable interest and assistance to those with more experience…there is a great deal of support for magistrates in this handbook. It will also be of interest to other court users including legal advisers and probations staff. This is a thorough and carefully researched work ….”From a review of previous edition in The Magistrate“Magistrates old, new and prospective will gain much from this book…The authors have succeeded in providing a wide-ranging account of the work of lay magistrates. A lucid explanation of a magistrate’s work and duties is found in this book. The text is written with the non-lawyer in mind.” From a review of previous edition in New Law Journal

Wills: A Practical Guide - Peter Gausden - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This new edition of ''Wills: A Practical Guide'' explains what is involved in making a will, with particular reference to avoiding those issues which often given rise to litigation. The book contains a concise description of the content of a will and the mechanics of signing and witnessing and is written by two experienced practitioners in a clear and user-friendly style.It provides a guide to not only what can be disposed of by will but to property which is subject to its own rules. Information is provided on the formalities for making a will, including the testator’s capacity and related issues, particularly those involving the elderly, which may affect the validity of the will. The appointment of executors, trustees and guardians is considered along with the dispositive provisions typically contained in a will, including the use of trusts, creation of residences, gifts to children and so on. There are also sections on less common aspects of will-making but which often cause problems for practitioners including gifts for the benefit of pets, gifts to employees, gifts of business interests, mutual (as distinguished from mirror) wills, testamentary options, burial and other requests and dealing with property overseas. These matters are dealt with in the context of how a contentious will is now interpreted by the court in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Marley v Rawlings and other rules of construction. The importance of providing executors and trustees with appropriate powers and the need to modify what is implied by statute is dealt with, including the importance of making adequate provision for the application of income and capital when required.The inheritance tax implications of will planning and drafting are covered along with typical strategies for dealing with family wealth by making best use of the exemptions and reliefs available. This includes guidance on leaving the family home in a way that maximises use of the new residence nil rate band when available, as well as explaining how the often overlooked matter of the incidence of inheritance tax effects its burden on beneficiaries. There are illustrative case studies of tax efficient wills appropriate for testators with common will-making problems.There is also a whole chapter aimed at dealing with drafting pitfalls and, more importantly, how to avoid them. Problems are also caused if the existence of a will is uncertain and so there is a helpful section on storing and locating a will. The work also includes sections on revocation and the effect of alterations to wills. The book includes useful precedents and checklists.''Wills: A Practical Guide'' provides a concise summary of the law and practice of will-making for all those concerned in drafting wills.
