  1. #AndrewMountbattenWindsor is being investigated for "Misconduct in Public Office" (#MiPO) as a Trade Envoy.

    The #CPS explains the #CommonLaw offence of MiPO at bit.ly/CPS-MiPO. Lord Charlie Falconer adds extra detail on #TRiP episide 503 at youtu.be/sfug2y5NFMs?t=284s : being an active Prince would not count as a "public office" for these purposes, because the duties are not clearly defined.

    This is a massive constitutional loophope. All #workingRoyals should be legally accountable.

  3. I have had this nagging question about why federal impeachment cases in the US are tried by the Senate, rather than the Supreme Court. I am reading pages 15 to 25 of this article from 1970, which not only clarify the rationale for the current process of impeachment, but may also explain why securing a conviction is so rare.

  4. Common-Law Separation in Ontario

    Navigating #CommonLaw separation requires understanding your rights to property division and potential spousal support. Unlike married couples, common-law partners must prove contribution to shared assets.

    After living together for 3+ years (or 1+ with a child), you gain certain legal protections.

    In den #USA haben #Calvinismus und #Sozialdarwinismus Tradition. Durch die Machtposition von Richtern, durch die Übernahme des Britischen Rechtskreises mit seinem #CommonLaw und ihren #WinnerTakesItAll Regeln im Wahlrecht, (#ElectoralCollege), wird deutlich, dass das amerikanische Demokratieverständnis aristokratisch orientiert ist. Das ist nicht neu. Das war so, als die Indianer weichen mussten, zur Zeit der Eisenbahn-Tycoone, der Sklaverei - nur nicht z.Z. des kalten Krieges.

  7. ...what the ever loving-

    No #court in the world should allow defendants to put words into dead people's mouthes, but here we are - and it's the #US court system, which is #CommonLaw, which means THIS IS #JUDICIAL PRECEDENT!!?!?

    What in the ever loving fuck, #America?

  9. If the US has proved something, is that common law is just Calvin-Ball with fancier clothes and no flags… #commonlaw

  11. @drmorrisj that's why I'm thinking of starting with md, because ease of use. But for functions regarding law, it's more complex - and those files are not programmatically parsable - and I don't speak German, so I wouldn't know where to start.

    Also, #CommonLaw will suck balls. How many centuries of precedent are we talking about here? Jesus Christ.

  12. Ignorance of the #law is no excuse, they say, but in modern times #laws within common law and even civil law is large and unwieldy.

    It's overtly complex, and I'm not even taking into account court proceedings and protocols - because I'm not a goddamn lawyer.

    Therefore I'd need the help of #CommonLaw and #CivilLaw lawyers, to create the specifications needed to augment or add to standard markdown or notational formats so they they can be more functional than just a standard PDF.

  15. "Under English common-law tradition, the judiciary is bound by precedent: principles established by judges in previous cases are binding for future ones. This puts case law on an equal footing with legislation.

    The civil-law tradition traces back to the Code Napoléon, a legal system that was set up in France under Napoleon, which restricted both the independence & the discretion of the judiciary, subordinating it to the legislature."

  17. This article is a good introduction to the 2 types of legal systems in the world: the English common-law and the French-German civil-law. Most countries in the world practice one of these 2.

    #European countries' laws can be very different from #English common-law countries' (and E.U. #law even stranger), so I make no claim about those.

    But you are #mistaken about #Canadian (and I believe all other English common-law countries) law - #facts #absolutely cannot be #copyrighted. You cannot stop someone #writing a #story based on facts you reveal in your story.

    See ised-isde.canada.ca/site/canad , question (2), in addition to other places.

  21. Listen to my interview on BBC Radio Wales from yesterday to hear why current calls for the devolution of justice make sense historically. For most of Wales’ history, we have been able to blend and adapt laws to our own needs: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001n64m

  27. I’m looking forward to appearing on BBC Radio Wales’ ‘Sunday Supplement’ this weekend to discuss my latest book that contends that a historical approach to law is necessary and that the stories of law’s history need to be more widely known.

    Tune in at 8.00am on Sunday or listen afterwards on BBC Sounds.
