Desty R: Federal Citations

Federal Citations

This book gives extraordinary new insights into the legal, political and industrial strife in the UK of the early 1970s, focusing on the National Industrial Relations Court and how its independence came to be injured at a time of national crisis. Constitutional and employment lawyers, and indeed anyone interested in the history of the times, will not want to be without this deeply researched yet entertaining work. When the Heath Government came to power in 1970, it set up the National Industrial Relations Court to referee highly contentious disputes between unions and employers. Regarded with hostility by the labour movement from the start, the Court and its President, Sir John Donaldson, faced mounting suspicion, and were regularly front-page news. When Donaldson jailed five dockers in 1972 - the Pentonville Five - for defying the Court's orders, strikes erupted and the docks closed. With the country's food supplies dwindling, a state of emergency loomed. How had it come to this? Could a way through be found? This is a revelatory account of the National Industrial Relations Court's defining crisis, set in the context of a wider, and frequently startling, exposition of how Donaldson went about his role as its President. Peter Oldham KC combines decades of experience as a barrister with archival research to shine a bright new light on how and why the Court found itself doing - in Donaldson's own words - 'rather peculiar things'.

'Rather Peculiar Things'

Law and Politics at the National Industrial Relations Court 1970-75

International Courts and Tribunals Series

Regional courts increasingly shape domestic law and policy, raising pressing questions about their democratic legitimacy. Balancing International Judicial Independence offers a groundbreaking framework for reconciling judicial independence with legitimate checks on judicial power. While independence is essential for courts to function, unchecked authority can be equally problematic. This book advances a nuanced approach that incorporates accountability and oversight without compromising independence.

Part One introduces a conceptual framework for international judicial independence, tailored to the unique institutional and political contexts of regional courts and avoiding the uncritical application of domestic models. It draws on comparative analysis of courts in Europe and the Americas, including the European Court of Human Rights, the European Court of Justice, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the Andean Tribunal of Justice.

Part Two explores the normative foundations for constraining judicial power, examining legal accountability mechanisms and adapting the principle of checks and balances to the international sphere. Political constraints are reconceptualized as forms of institutional interdependence within a refined checks and balances framework.

Part Three tackles the implications of using checks and balances as a normative guiding principle and critically analyses national and regional institutional sources of constraint on selected courts, as well as specific mechanisms like judicial selection, political override, and non-compliance.

Filling a critical gap in the literature, this book provides a principled framework for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to assess existing arrangements and guide institutional design in international adjudication.

Key Ideas in Law

This book explores the law, philosophy, and wider implications of that brief but highly consequential moment when a judge imposes sentence on a convicted offender. Sentencing is one of the most contested aspects of contemporary criminal justice. It is an important field of study, both as an instance of coercive state power over the citizen and as the point at which the statutory purposes of punishment are given public expression. Focusing on England and Wales, with occasional comparative reference to sentencing practice around the world, topics include the legal and ethical implications of pleading guilty, the origin and development of sentencing guidelines, and the 'ordinary' language in which the sentence itself must be pronounced in open court. Tensions arise over the appropriate treatment of cohorts including the young, racialised, mentally disordered, and dangerous, and the disparate outcomes such treatment can generate.At a time of unprecedented crisis - from the phenomenon of 'sentence inflation' 50 years in the making, to the criminal court backlog, to an overcrowded prison estate - the book concludes with an appraisal and critique of the Sentencing Act 2026. The Act was pitched as a once-in-a-generation attempt at substantive justice reform, but its precise impact remains to be seen. Key Features · Offers an original account of a field in transition, equipping readers with a rich and robust evidence base · Reconciles classical theories of punishment with modern case law and sentencing practice · Comparative insights provide perspective and distance, enabling readers to form their own views on a complex field

Key Ideas in Sentencing

Written by three experienced practitioners, this definitive work provides unrivalled analysis and guidance on the law of judicial review. 

Updated with the most relevant and recent case law, this new edition of Judicial Review: Principles and Procedure includes chapters on each of the substantive and procedural grounds on which a claim for judicial review may be brought, including topics such as fairness, consultation, proportionality, and legitimate expectation. It offers detailed treatment of areas such as the public sector equality duty, challenges to administrative policies, challenges to legislation, and common law constitutional rights. The book contains comprehensive coverage of the procedure at each stage of a claim for judicial review, from the pre-action stage to the permission stage and interim remedies, through to the substantive stage, final remedies, and costs. Newly added to this edition are a comprehensive guide to post-Brexit UK-EU Relations Law contributed by Jack Williams, and a guide to the use of international law in judicial review contributed by Sean Aughey-both of which ensure that the book provides a uniquely full treatment of all of the issues which might be encountered in practice.

The volume's accessible format allows readers easily to access the law on specific points, making it an indispensable reference for barristers, solicitors, public sector organisations, and legal libraries.

Principles and Procedure

Judicial Review

Most lawyers receive little or no training about effective advocacy to trial judges; instead, law schools tend to focus on appellate and jury trial advocacy. But the need for effective advocacy to judges has never been greater, as hearings before trial judges have increased, and judges' discretionary authority to resolve cases has grown. Most attorneys will spend more time attempting to persuade trial judges than they ever will attempting to persuade jurors or appellate court judges.
 This book provides insider information to practicing attorneys on how to effectively advocate to trial court judges. The authors, sitting United States District Court Judges, explain how the skills and tactics of effective advocacy to judges differs dramatically from those that are effective before a jury or to a panel of appellate judges. Their expertise will arm practicing lawyers with the insight and knowledge necessary to become more effective persuading those who matter most-trial judges.

Visual Literacy for Lawyers gives readers practical tools to shift into a mindset that treats design, structure, and language as inseparable parts of communication. It builds on the internationally recognized principles of plain language, now solidified in the ISO 24495 Plain Language Standard, and takes a deep dive into the design and structural choices that determine whether a document works for real people. This book treats clarity as a unified discipline, with words, structure, and visuals working together to communicate with precision and purpose. What sets this book apart is its practicality. Across its pages, readers will find clear, side-by-side demonstrations of how dense legal text and structurally complex agreements can be transformed through visual and structural clarity. A tangled multistep contractual process becomes a clean, comprehensible timeline. A lengthy business agreement is reorganized into a layered document that guides users through information in a more logical and intuitive flow. A long list of obligations and exceptions is distilled into a structured table that enables readers to process information more efficiently. These examples do more than illustrate technique, they show how the principles in this book can be applied immediately, turning abstract concepts into usable solutions.
