Delacroix G: OBJECTION, EXPLAINED

OBJECTION, EXPLAINED

The Trials of Gabriel Ward

Winter, 1901. The Inner Temple is even quieter than usual under a blanket of snow and Gabriel Ward KC is hard at work on a thorny libel case. All is calm, all is bright - until the mummified hand arrives in the post... While the hand's recipient, Temple Treasurer Sir William Waring, is rightfully shaken, Gabriel is filled with curiosity. Who would want to send such a thing? And why? But as more parcels arrive - one with fatal consequences - Gabriel realises that it is not Sir William who is the target, but the Temple itself. Someone is holding a grudge that has already led to at least one death. Now it's up to Gabriel, and Constable Wright of the City of London Police, to find out who, before an old death leads to a new murder.

'As brilliant a cosy crime book as you will ever read' Janice Hallett

A Case of Life and Limb

This essential guide sets out the core legal and procedural issues for developing principled litigation and compliance strategies in human trafficking and modern slavery cases. Bridging disciplines and jurisdictions, it draws on domestic, European, and international frameworks, warning against siloed approaches and advocating cohesive, lawful decision-making. The codification of slavery, forced labour, servitude, and trafficking is analysed in depth, with clear explanations of how reforms, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015, Nationality and Borders Act 2022, and Illegal Migration Act 2023, reshape UK law and its relationship with international standards, including evolving ICC jurisprudence. Positive obligations under Article 4 ECHR run throughout, with expert analysis of key developments such as VCL v UK, Begum v SSHD, World Uyghur Congress v NCA and R v Webb &amp; Somerset How. The Third Edition expands coverage with new chapters on supply chain accountability, transnational corporate remedies, and trauma informed practice. It incorporates novel scholarship and offers practical tools for practitioners and judges managing cases involving victims of exploitation, whether as victims or defendants. Step-by-step guidance includes jury directions, routes to verdict, and identifying victims of trafficking and modern slavery, a frequent point of appellate criticism. Recognised as the practitioner's 'bible', it remains the definitive single-source reference for this complex and evolving field. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Immigration and Nationality Law online service.

Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery Law and Practice

In Trying . . . For 55 Years, Michael D. Schottland reflects on his distinguished five-decade career as a lawyer, offering an unparalleled look into the life of a legal professional who has seen it all. Through a series of impactful case studies, Schottland reveals the moments that defined his journey-cases that shaped both the law and his practice. From his first million-dollar verdict to landmark personal injury cases, and even controversial legal battles during the Vietnam era, Schottland's storytelling brings the raw and transformative experiences of the courtroom to life. This memoir blends legal insight with personal reflection, recounting how each case, whether a triumph or a setback, influenced his understanding of justice, ethics, and responsibility. Schottland's stories not only highlight the evolution of his own legal philosophy but also explore broader issues in the American legal system. For law enthusiasts, aspiring attorneys, or anyone interested in the human side of the law, Trying . . . For 55 Years is a compelling journey through one lawyer's quest for justice._

Prima Facie

This book examines the history, theories and legal principles underpinning the rules and practice of civil litigation in England and Wales. English civil procedure has been the object of renewed interest in the last 20 years since Lord Woolf proposed and implemented reforms of the civil justice system on a scale unequalled since the mid-19th century. Focusing on the overarching theoretical framework of civil procedure, this book provides a rigorous contextual analysis of the rules and practice of civil litigation in England and Wales and identifies the applicable rule of process and its rationale and connection to these rules and determines the scope of judicial discretion and regulatory flexibility. Chapter 1 sets out the core themes of the work, Chapter 2 provides the important historical background to modern English rules of court. Chapter 3 focuses on the rules of court as addressed to and concerning the litigant. This chapter therefore presents the 'fundamental principles' as the 'promises' by the state to litigants, that their rights will be enforced. It addresses the nature of a civil lawsuit and of the right to sue itself, whether private, that is, part of the litigant's "estate" either directly or as an extension of his other property at stake, or public, as the forum for the determination of the substantive law albeit in an individualized context. This also includes a discussion of the need for - or existence of, in all but name - separation between civil and administrative adjudication. Chapter 4 identifies the current theories of justice determining the function of the civil court in English law and their application to discrete moments of litigation but from the perspective of the way in which the judges conducting the litigation have their role and power reflected and amplified in the rules. Chapters 5 and 6 addresses the nature of the result of litigation, primarily the judgment (but also other types of final adjudicative decisions) and its characters, and the possibilities and nature of appeals in the current system. Chapter 7 considers the result of litigation in the notoriously difficult and uneven area of enforcement of final judgments.

A New Yorker, Time Out, NPR, Electric Lit and Publishers Weekly Book of the Year, and Lambda Literary Award Finalist 'A fabulously riveting hybrid memoir and queer history lesson' -The New York TimesIt's 1996, and Jeremy, a young American, has met the British boy of his dreams - just as, amid a media frenzy, US Congress prepares the Defense of Marriage Act, denying same-sex couples rights including immigration. The pair snatch time in forests and deserts, London fashion shows, and East Village hotel rooms; eventually, finding no other way to stay together, they shack up illicitly among unlikely allies in San Francisco.What emerges is an unexpected romantic comedy haunted by centuries of gay ghosts. Deep House moves through the couple's various domiciles while unlocking doors to a lineage of outsiders who came before them: hapless criminals, sexpot bartenders, friars, pirates, government workers who subvert the system and activists who go all the way to the Supreme Court to fight for their freedoms.Combining cultural history with radically intimate memoir, Deep House is at once a romp through the queer archives and the innermost tale of two boyfriends who made a home in the shadows of a turbulent civil rights battle.

Hart Studies in Private Law

This collection of essays explores the real-world problem of building safety through the lens of private law. High profile building failures including the fire at Grenfell Tower, London, England and the collapse of Champlain Towers South, Florida, USA have exposed widespread building safety failures globally. In this book, international experts deploy a variety of different private law perspectives ranging through torts, contract and real property law, to examine building safety failures across the UK, USA, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, Italy and Canada. The book offers policymakers, practitioners and scholars ground-breaking consideration of this vital yet under-considered aspect of the building safety crisis, along with new and valuable insights into the nature, limits and utility of private law. The book shows that private law can be part of the solution to - as well as being part of the cause of - the building safety crisis. Consideration is given to existing legislative and judicial responses to the crisis, offering guidance as to how statutory regimes addressing the building safety problem (such as the Building Safety Act 2022) can best be understood and developed. A central lesson is the need to take an integrated, coherent approach, within and beyond private law. The book also illustrates that an understanding of the causes of, and responses to, the building safety crisis is vital to any theory of private law: private law is unable to fulfil its distinctive and crucial role of ordering our relations, one to another, if we adopt an unduly limited view of the reasons and resources available to it. The book results from a joint research project by the Faculty of Law at the University of Oxford and Melbourne Law School at the University of Melbourne.
