This book examines the royal prerogative in terms of its theory,
history and application today. The work explores the development of
the royal prerogative through the evolution of imperial government,
and more recent structural changes in the United Kingdom and
elsewhere in the Commonwealth. While examining specific prerogative
powers, the development of justiciability of the prerogative, and
the exercise of the prerogative, it lays bare the heart of
constitutionality in the Westminster system of government. There is
said to be a black hole of unaccountable authority at the heart of
the constitution and it is this which this book examines. The focus
is upon the constitutional development of the United Kingdom and
the old dominions of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. This
approach is comparative and historical, using specific case studies
of such events as the dissolution of Parliament and the appointment
and dismissal of Prime Ministers. The book will be of interest to
academics and researchers working in the areas of Constitutional
Law and Politics.
The development of new forms of ministry, lay and ordained, has
included worker-priests, now found in the Anglican Communion in a
related form variously called Self-Supporting Ministry (SSM) or
Non-Stipendiary Ministry (NSM). This book focuses on one of the
most recent developments, the creation of Ordained Local Ministry.
After chapters that consider preliminary questions of the nature of
ministry, such as authority in the church and Holy Orders, Noel Cox
argues that the crucial distinction between these and other forms
of ministry is that the Ordained Local Minister (OLM) is overtly
ordained specifically for a given locality (variously defined);
they are a deacon or priest for a specific church, parish,
benefice, or deanery, rather than of the universal church. Their
introduction inevitably raises difficult ecclesiological questions,
which Cox examines.

The advent of the knowledge economy and society has made it
increasingly necessary for law reformers and policy makers to take
account of the effects of technology upon the law and upon legal
and political processes. This book explores aspects of technology's
relationship with law and government, and in particular the effects
changing technology has had on constitutional structures and upon
business. Part I examines the legal normative influence of
constitutional structures and political theories. It focuses on the
interrelationship between laws and legal procedure with technology
and the effect technology can have on the legal environment. Part
II discusses the relationship between government and technology
both at the national and international level. The author argues
that technology must be contextualized within a constitution and
draws on historical and contemporary examples to illustrate how
technology has both shaped civilizations and been the product of
its political and constitutional environment.
This book examines the influence of constitutional legal paradigms
upon the political stability and viability of states. It
contributes to the literature in the field by focussing on how
constitutional flexibility may have led to the rise of 'successful'
states and to the decline of 'unsuccessful' states, by promoting
stability. Divided into two parts, the book considers theories of
the rise and fall of civilizations and individual states, explains
the concept of hard and soft constitutions and applies this concept
to different types of state models. A series of international case
studies in the second part of the book identifies the key dynamics
in legal, political and economic history and includes the UK, US,
New Zealand and Eastern Europe.

This is a collection of refereed journal articles on various topics
in the field of constitutional law. The papers contained in this
collection present the fruits of research in the field of
constitutional law, with an emphasis upon the Crown. The principal
line of papers presented consider the Crown as a theoretical
foundation for government. The starting point for this is an
exploration of the vexed question of the usurpation of government.
The papers then turn to a more detailed examination of the form of
the Crown. The first is a look at the law regulating the succession
to the Crown. The focus of the papers then turns from the position
of the Crown to its powers. In particular, the focus of a number of
papers is on the royal prerogative of honours. The papers then
begin a review of the contemporary constitutional position of
selected elements of the royal prerogative of honour and of
dignities law. The first paper is on the peerage. The next papers
discuss the on-going debate in heraldic circles in the Commonwealth
as to the respective heraldic jurisdictions. This relies heavily
upon arguments based on the way in which New Zealand acquired its
legal system from the United Kingdom. The collection concludes with
a series of papers on broader topics, including public policy in
relation to succession, the notaries profession, and copyright in
legislation. The aim of the collection is to bring together a
number of papers dealing with aspects, broad and narrow, of the
contemporary constitution.
In 2006 Professor Noel Cox, an academic lawyer, spent four months
in the United Kingdom on sabbatical. He also went to central Europe
and North Africa on holiday, and spent some weeks on holiday in the
UK. The book is from the edited diaries he kept during those
months, giving a vivid account of his experiences visiting places
old and new. Highlights include the Roman ruins at Leptis Magna -
which, before the fall of the Libyan dictator Gaddafi, had few
tourists visiting - and the cathedrals and palaces of Hungary.
The technological revolution affecting the global economy has
profound implications not merely for society, but also for global
and national legal systems. This work short considers the nature of
the constitutional responses to paradigmatic shifts in technology.
It considers the nature of constitutions and of their relationship
with technology. It then proceeds to briefly examine several
seminal technological changes in the past, in order to identify
common elements in relation to constitutions and technology. It
then looks at several contemporary technological revolutions, with
a similar purpose. Finally, it seeks to draw some common themes
from these examples, with the intention of identifying some lessons
to guide law and policy-makers.

Though our use of reflection differs, both according to our needs
and to the circumstances of the time, they have, at their core,
some common elements. These include the deliberate or instinctive
application of scripturally-based teachings to the facts of a
particular problem. Whilst we cannot know for certain how Jesus
might have acted in any given circumstances, scripture gives us
sufficient guidance to allow us to have some idea of how Our Lord
would have acted. Reflecting on how Jesus Christ would have
responded to the sorts of human problems we face daily is one of
the major challenges for Christians, today as much as two thousand
years ago.
This is a collection of commentaries and essays on the majority of
the novels, and many of the short stories, of the Victorian and
Edwardian novelist Sir Henry Rider Haggard. Haggard is best known
as the author of "She" and "King Solomon's Mines." He was not only
an accomplished story teller, but also a public servant of note and
an agricultural reformer.
In the early part of 2007 The Law Society of Kenya, through the
Governance, Justice, Law and Order Sector Reform Programme
("GJLOS") of Kenya, undertook a review of the disciplinary
machinery of the legal profession. This work, conducted by a team
of consultants, was intended, inter alia, to review progress since
the 2002 "Review of the Effectiveness of the Disciplinary Committee
of The Law Society of Kenya and the Complaints Commission" by Mr.
Mark Stobbs of the International Bar Association. This book is the
result. Although the purpose of the project was to identify means
of strengthening the disciplinary processes of the Kenya bar, its
application is broader. There are generic and universal principles
of good practice which are applicable in all countries and in more
professions than just the legal profession. One difficulty faced by
the consultants was to identify processes that reflected good
practice and also were workable in the environment in which they
were placed. This involved consideration of social, political and
economic aspects of the environment. One of the major challenges
facing the world today is the relative fragility of democracy,
transparency, and the rule of law in many countries. This report,
though intended for the benefit of Kenya, is a rich resource for
other countries that might wish to review the disciplinary
mechanisms for their legal professions, or other learned
professions.
This is a collection of essays on aspects of contemporary
ecclesiastical law. The focus is upon the law of the Anglican
Communion, especially the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand
and Polynesia. Throughout these essays, all previously published in
refereed academic journals - and in one case as a book chapter -
aspects of ecclesiastical law are explored. These include questions
of church-state relations, the internal governance of the church,
and the legal framework of doctrine and ecclesiology. Each of the
eleven essays contributes to the understanding of the nature of the
law of the church in the twentieth century. This era has been
described as post-Christian, but even if this is so, the need to
understand the basis of the law of the church is as important today
as much as a hundred years ago. One of the greatest challenges for
the universal church is how to engage with the wider world, whilst
remain true both to scripture, teaching and tradition. This
continual search for a place in the world is at the heart of the
Christian church; it is in the world yet not of the world. The
attempts at navigating this difficult course have been marked by a
varying degree of success; the Anglican Communion, of which the
author is a priest, as well as a canon lawyer and an academic, is
particularly troubled by the conflicting concerns of liberalism and
orthodoxy. The ordination of women, practising homosexuals, and the
blessing of same-sex relationships, which has exercised the
Anglican Communion, has created divisions within the church, and
caused tensions with the other parts of the church, especially the
Roman Catholic Church and eastern orthodoxy.
You are a dynamic centre in an infinite ocean of energy. The entire
Universe is ONE ENERGY of infinite love and intelligence that
responds to your THOUGHTS and FEELINGS. The ONE ENERGY BEING is
constantly BECOMING into form and out of form. The movement of
atoms and particles, just like that of the planets, results from
internal forces of attraction/repulsion - one is the feminine
principle of desire the other the masculine principle of will. This
kind of affinity and antipathy runs throughout nature dancing in
eternal rhythm, vibrating throughout the entire Universe. In BEING
AND BECOMING: THE ART OF MENTAL TRANSFORMATION, Noel Cox, teaches
you how to transform your mind and conditions by working with the
One Energy that constitutes the Universe. You will learn to use
love, focus of attention and imagination to BE and BECOME all you
could dream of. Magusmind.com Press Discover the wonders in your

The twentieth century saw the evolution of the former British
Empire into a collection of independent countries. Many of these
retain the Sovereign of the United Kingdom as their Queen. Using
New Zealand as an example, this book examines the development of
the Crown as a distinct constitutional entity. The concept of the
Crown has often been of greater importance than the person of the
Sovereign, or that of the Governor-General. The existence of the
Crown has also contributed to, rather than impeded, the
independence of New Zealand, and other realms, through the division
of imperial prerogative powers. The very physical absence of the
Sovereign, and the all-pervading nature of the legal concept of the
Crown, have also contributed to development of that institution as
a truly national organ of government. In New Zealand in particular
this has been encouraged by conceptual confusion over the symbolism
and identity of the Crown. The book is of value to students and
researchers in constitutional law and history, indigenous rights
and post-colonialism, and comparative politics.
