This book explores the development of Scottish child protection law from its earliest days in the poor law, tracing the changing assumptions that underlay child protection processes, and the radical shift of emphasis from private (charitable) endeavour to public (local authority) duty. This book looks at the developing legal processes for removing children from abusive or neglectful environments, explores how child offenders and child victims came to be dealt with in the same processes, and examines the reasons why Scots law has managed to continue to cleave its own procedural path in the contemporary world. It explores both processes and outcomes, explaining how the juvenile court evolved into the children’s hearing, and it examines the substantive continuities between the various orders that could be made over children. The regulation of boarding out and fostering of children is compared with the regulation of institutional care, and the evolution of aftercare provisions is explained. The book also offers an analysis of the (dubious) legal basis for the Imperial practice of sending troubled children to the colonies, as part of a deliberate policy of spreading British “stock” across the world. The final chapter traces the origins and statutory control of the practice of adoption of children, from its days as an informal arrangement through its early manifestation as a minor action changing status to its present position as the most radical order that a court of law can make.

The article is devoted to the problems of constitutional control in the subjects of the Russian Federation. The article examines its origins related to the formation and functioning of constitutional (statutory) courts at this level, reveals the reasons that did not allow the constitutional justice of the subjects of the Russian Federation to become a full-fledged state legal institution for 30 years. It is shown how, as a result of the constitutional reform, these courts were abolished, and a recommendation of the federal legislator appeared on the creation of constitutional (statutory) councils under the legislative (representative) state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation instead of them. The article analyzes the legal regulation of the organization and activities of such bodies in domestic and foreign practice. Taking this into account and based on the existing constitutional and legal possibilities, proposals are formulated on the status of these councils (their nature, the procedure for their formation and work, powers and decisions), which allows them to be an effective body of constitutional (statutory) control in the subjects of the Russian Federation.

Abstract The Government in the UK has decided that remedial action to reduce exposure from radon daughters in existing houses should be taken where the annual effective dose equivalent exceeds an Action Level of 20 mSv. Future houses should be designed so that the annual dose from radon daughters does not exceed an Upper Bound of 5 mSv. The Ionising Radiations Regulations 1985 impose statutory control on exposure to radon daughters in the workplace. Field and laboratory studies of effective methods to reduce radon concentrations in buildings in the UK are in progress. An account of this work is presented.

The purpose of this study is to show how food heritage, specifically Filipino Pancit, define the culture oftheir citizens, investigate the efforts of Local Government Units (LGUs), and examine the role of a selectedHigher Educational Institution (HEI) as a partner of LGUs in safeguarding food heritage. The researcher used frameworks from international and national cultural agencies and researchers. Observation and in-depth interviews were also used for the documentation process through case study technique, which examined the aspects of statutory control and safeguarding mechanisms to determine the political prioritiesof involved LGUs and the selected HEI’s role in safeguarding food heritage in the islands of Luzon,Philippines. Findings suggest that LGUs’ sheer political will, knowledge, and awareness on issues onheritage conservation, openness, sustainable practices, and multi-stakeholder participation are essential inrobust protection vis-à-vis culture and heritage conservation. This comes with the active participation ofstakeholders, especially academic institutions, which provide expertise and extra leg work on researchbacked by their advocacy rooted on Filipino identity and sustainability to support policies of the government.Ultimately, research-based policymaking is key to open opportunities not just on intangible cultural heritagelike Filipino Pancit but on culture and heritage conservation in general.

This chapter deals with possessory security. It begins with a discussion of a pledge (which normally secures repayment of a debt but, in principle, there is no reason why it should not secure performance by the pledgor of some other obligation), before considering the concepts of delivery and re-delivery of possession. It also examines re-pledge by the pledgee, realisation, and statutory control before turning to liens. In particular, it explains how a lien arises and how it is enforced, terminated, and registered. Finally, it looks at the proposed legal reform with respect to possessory security.
