Professor David Bellamy, OBE
Foreword by HRH Prince Philip
The Royal Challenge - At a conference called by the Royal Society for the Arts, their President, HRH Prince Philip, laid down a Royal Challenge: that all parties with specific interests in the countryside should work together to achieve a sustainable future for our rural areas. His premise was that there are too many single-issue groups campaigning in isolation and that their interests often conflict; what is needed is a co-ordinated approach to the 'management' of our countryside.
Following the conference, world-renowned environmental campaigner David Bellamy has written this book which highlights the many problems facing our rural areas.
Although currently grabbing the headlines, fox hunting is not the only controversial issue affecting our countryside: wind farms; organic farming; the 'right to roam'; species conservation and control - these are just some of the topics discussed in a no-nonsense way by Professor Bellamy, one of the world's leading experts in conservation.
Not all is doom and gloom, however, as is shown by the many case studies of successful projects that are going on throughout the length and breadth of these islands and that provide examples of how co-operation and understanding can advance the cause of every countryside interest group.
Bellamy pulls no-punches - his conclusions and recommendations are typically forthright. There is however, no doubt that if they are heeded, the future of the British countryside will be far brighter.

This
respected work has now been updated to a fourth edition to take account of the
many changes in legislation and practice that have taken place in the last few
years. Following the death of Professor Jack Garner, one of the originators of
the book, his co-author, Brian Jones, has been joined by leading experts Julian
Palmer and Angela Sydenham in the preparation of this new edition. The aim of
the book remains the same as its predecessors; it is to offer a lucid
assessment, in terms appropriate for both the specialist and the more general
reader, of how the laws of England and Wales seek to tackle the twin objectives
of protecting the countryside and its wildlife from irreparable harm whilst, at
the same time, acknowledging and accommodating the public's demand to use the
countryside for recreation, leisure and other purposes. Although the book
is written primarily for the lay reader, the addition of tables of statutes and
cases, as well as an extended index, will enhance its usefulness for lawyers.

This Directory remains the definitive source of information on Her Majesty’s Courts Service and related offices, providing accurate, up-to-date details of contact names, telephone and fax numbers, addresses, document exchange numbers, court codes and normal times and sittings of courts.
The Directory provides comprehensive details of the following:
Supreme and Appellate Courts in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; Courts of Session and High Court of Justiciary in Scotland; the Administrative Regions of Her Majesty’s Courts Service in England and Wales; Indexes of all Crown, County and Magistrates’ Courts under each Region’s administration; Crown Courts in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; County Courts in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, listing additional jurisdiction where applicable; the Administrative Areas of Her Majesty’s Courts Service in England and Wales Magistrates' Courts in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; Gazetteer of Local Justice Areas and divisions in the Greater London area and an Index to Courts of Summary Jurisdiction; Sheriff/District/Justice of the Peace Courts in Scotland; Coroners' names and addresses; Probate Courts in England and Wales; Crown Prosecution Service Headquarters and Area Offices; Penal Establishments in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
A Numerical Index enables any court – whether current, abolished or combined – to be easily identified by its Court Code Number.
This is the most comprehensive reference work of its type for all courts and for those who have dealings with them – and should be on the bookshelf in every solicitors chambers and clerk’s office.
Following on from the successful implementation of a unified system of courts administration in England and Wales over recent years, the Criminal Proceedings etc. (Reform) (Scotland) Act 2007 presaged a major reformation of the Scottish Court Service. As a result of the Act, the sheriffdoms of Grampian, Highlands and Islands and Lothian and Borders now have unified administration of all courts. Their District Courts, previously administered by each Local Authority, have been disestablished and are replaced by the newly created Justice of the Peace Courts that are administered, together with the Sheriff Courts, by the Scottish Court Service. This new edition of Shaw’s Directory of Courts in the United Kingdom reflects the recent restructuring in the affected Sheriffdoms.

This new book provides a unique and in-depth focus of the principal legal liabilities in the context of environmental harm. It is aimed at environmental lawyers and personal injury lawyers, local government lawyers and environmental health officers, academics and students (in the UK and beyond). The book is divided into three main parts: dealing in turn with civil liabilities, liabilities to criminal prosecution, and liabilities to administrative direction (or administrative cost recoupment). Although the work concentrates on current English law, the book contains a final chapter which reviews progress as regards the development of an EU Directive on liability for environmental damage.
The book contains unusually detailed treatment of case law, both in terms of common law developments and also the rapidly growing case law interpreting key statutory provisions, making it a very useful reference work for lawyers. Both authors have written widely on environmental matters and Brian Jones is currently Editor of the journal Environmental Liability, while Neil Parpworth is Assistant Editor of the Encyclopedia of Environmental Health Law and Practice.

Expert advice and evidence can be crucial to the outcome of many civil disputes. Specialist opinion about technical or scientific matters is used to aid comprehension of the finer details and interpretation of the facts, whether in the early stages at experts’ meetings or in court itself.
Many consultants operating as experts have no experience or formal training in legal procedure, thus are unprepared for the rigours of cross-examination in court, or lack the knowledge as to exactly what their role entails. A poor presentation may leave the expert open to being discredited by examining counsel or, worse, by the field in which they have gained their technical expertise. Fortunately, the skills required to produce a well-written expert’s report and to perform competently in the witness box can be taught; this book exists for that purpose.
This third edition addresses important developments and changes, relevant to the practice of expert witnesses, including the requirement for experts to attend meetings, recent cases and their effect on expert practice, the impact of the new Criminal Procedure Rules, and the debate as to whether experts should be immune from further action regarding the evidence they give in court.
