The chapter explains how civil partners in the UK are treated under the Civil Partnership Act 2004 (CPA) and the courts’ application of the provisions of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 (MCA) in reaching a decision in divorce cases. It also discusses the three principles of financial needs, compensation, and sharing used by the courts in making an award; nuptial agreements; the Law Commission Report on Matrimonial Property, Needs and Agreements; and provision for children under the MCA, the CPA, the Child Support Act 1991, and the Children Act 1989.

This chapter examines registration of title, commonly called registered land, another fundamental reform of the 1925 property legislation. The first attempt at universal registration of title to land was the Land Registration Act 1925. This has since been replaced by the Land Registration Act 2002, which is itself the subject of a recent Law Commission report proposing reforms to the current law. Any transfer of land that is not yet registered will trigger registration of title, and thereafter the land will be subject to the law on registration. The government has announced a commitment to comprehensive registration of title by 2030. The chapter deals with the principles of registration; first registration of title; substantive registration; interests protected by notice, restriction, and overriding interests; alteration and rectification of the register; the correction of mistakes in the register and the payment of indemnity or compensation for mistakes. Proposals for reform are also discussed.

Concentrates show you what to expect in a law exam, what examiners are looking for, and how to achieve extra marks. This chapter discusses inchoate offences. Inchoate offences are where the full offence is not completed. The reason that the law fixes liability on defendants who have not fulfilled the full offence is to punish those who are willing to be involved in criminality even where the full offence is not, for one reason or another, completed. The law governing all inchoate offences is in a state of flux; the common law offence of incitement was replaced with new offences under the Serious Crime Act 2007. The law governing conspiracy and attempts was the subject of a Law Commission Report in December 2009.

Law Commission

In most branches of the law where statute dominates, such as taxation, social security and employment protection, the legislation is nowadays quite frequently revised. Often this is because a new government requires important changes of a political character, although the oportunity can be taken to remove ambiguous, anomalous or antiquated phrasing. But from time to time, perhaps as a result of a Law Commission report, a statute is revised for social, administrative or even juridical reasons. At all events, what may be called the operational art of our statute book dating from before 1945 is comparatively small.

Land registration has long proved a source of concern to the Law Commission. Its Third Report in 1987 recommended significant changes to the substantive law; its Fourth Report subsequently incorporated these changes into a comprehensive draft Land Registration Bill which was intended to replace the Land Registration Act 1925 with a modern, simpler statute.

IntroductionThis paper considers the approach to decision-making on behalf of mentally incapacitated adults. It updates and revises the 1996 article Ethical Aspects of the Law Commission Report on Mental Incapacity in this journal. The Law Commission Report No. 231, Mental Incapacity, issued in February 1995, was the final outcome of a lengthy and wide-ranging process of consultation. This process resulted in four consultation papers over a period of four years. The Government did not support the Law Commission’s draft bill on mental incapacity and a further consultation period was initiated (Who Decides? Making Decisions on Behalf of Mentally Incapacitated Adults, Cm. 3803). This process culminated in October 1999 when the Lord Chancellor’s Office issued its report, Making Decisions (Cm. 4465). This policy statement sets out the Government’s proposals to improve the decision-making process for those who are incapable of making decisions for themselves or who cannot communicate their decisions.
