Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

A young man is trying to find a mystical sword to turn back time.
His family and village were slaughtered leaving him to survive on
the land. If he can find this blade of time he can go back and save
everyone from the horrible fate they where given. On his journey he
stumbles upon unlikely comrades and finds his own fate to be more
than he could have ever imagined. Strange, dangerous, odd,
humorous, and serious creatures riddle his journey and prophecy is
fulfilled without the young man even knowing his fate is already
written, to a point anyway.
The twelth programme of law reform includes: Bills of sale;
Firearms: scoping project;; The form and accessibility of the law
applicable in Wales: advisory project; Land registration; Mental
capacity and detention; Planning and development control in Wales;
Protecting consumer prepayments on retailer insolvency; Sentencing
procedure; Wills
Public bodies report that they cannot always share the data they
need to share and, as a result, miss out on opportunities to
provide better services to citizens. At the same time, the
protection of privacy is fundamental to any data sharing regime.
The law surrounding data sharing is complex. Powers to share data
are scattered across a very large number of statutes and may be set
out expressly or implied. In addition, there are common law powers.
In this scoping project the Law Commission considered the following
questions: are there hurdles to effective data sharing between
public bodies (including private bodies engaged in public service
delivery)?; Are those hurdles inappropriate?; How far do problems
in data sharing stem from the law?; How far do problems in data
sharing stem from other causes, such as a lack of training or
guidance, organisational incentives and disincentives?; Would law
reform solve or mitigate the problems? The Commission recommends
that a full law reform project should be carried out in order to
create a principled and clear legal structure for data sharing,
which will meet the needs of society. The scope of the review
should extend beyond data sharing between public bodies to the
disclosure of information between public bodies and other
organisations carrying out public functions.
This Law Commission report looks at the accurate contemporary
reporting of the content of legal proceedings taking place in
public in criminal courts. More specifically, this report focuses
on the power of the Crown Court to order that such reporting be
postponed to avoid prejudice to court proceedings. The Contempt of
Court Act 1981 provides that publication of material which has the
effect of risking serious prejudice to active court proceedings can
in some circumstances be punished as a contempt of court. The
Commission is concerned with all court reporting, whether broadcast
(on television, radio or over the internet) or published
(electronically or in print format) and whether by accredited press
representatives or others such as bloggers. The recommendations
would: ensure that court reporting postponement orders are all
posted on a single publicly accessible website (a similar website
currently operates in Scotland); include a further restricted
service where, for a charge, registered users could find out the
detail of the reporting restriction and could sign up for automated
email alerts of new orders; greatly reduce their risk of contempt
for publishers, from large media organisations to individual
bloggers, and enable them to comply with the court's restrictions
or report proceedings to the public with confidence.
A TSO version of a title previously published by HM Government.
A conservation covenant is a voluntary agreement between a
landowner and responsible body (charity, public body or
local/central Government) to do or not do something on their land
for a conservation purpose. This might be, for example, an
agreement to maintain woodland and allow public access to it, or to
refrain from using certain pesticides on native vegetation. These
agreements are long lasting and continue after the landowner has
parted with the land, ensuring that its conservation value is
protected for the public benefit. Conservation covenants are used
in many other jurisdictions, but do not exist in the law of England
and Wales. Instead, landowners and responsible bodies are relying
on complex and expensive legal workarounds, or the limited number
of existing statutory covenants that enable certain covenants to be
enforced by specified bodies (for example, the National Trust).
This paper considers the following key issues: who should be able
to create a conservation covenant?; what should a conservation
covenants be for?; should there be public oversight of a new
statutory scheme?; how should conservation covenants be created and
recorded?; how should a conservation covenant be managed? ; what
should happen if there is a breach of a conservation covenant?;
when and how should a conservation covenant be modified or come to
an end?; could any existing statutory covenants be replaced by a
system of conservation covenants?; what will be the impact of
introducing a system of conservation covenants? A number of
provisional proposals are presented.
The consultation paper Fiduciary Duties of Investments
Intermediaries: A Consultation Paper follows on from the Kay Report
on UK Equity Markets and Long Term Decision Making (see below), and
uses pensions as the example, tracing a chain of intermediaries
from the prospective pensioner/saver to the registered shareholder
of a UK company. There are well established duties on pension
trustees to act in the best interests of scheme members, and it
looks at how far these duties require trustees to maximize
financial return over a short time scale, and how far trustees can
consider other factors such as environmental and social impact. The
consultation asks: Whether the law is right to allow trustees to
consider ethical issues only in limited circumstances? Whether the
legal obligations on trustees are conducive to investment
strategies in the best interests of the ultimate beneficiaries? and
if not, what specifically ne
