	Constitution of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Parliamentary sovereignty and of the rule of law have been widely considered the most important principles of the constitution since the nineteenth century, and attempts to substantially circumvent them would likely be met with backlash by the electorate or monarch.
		Since entrenched "constitutional law" does not exist, the UK constitution is flexible, as opposed to rigid constitutions such as the Constitution of the United States.
		The two most important principles of the British constitution were first established to exist as the "twin pillars" of the constitution by A.V. Dicey, in his work An Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution (1885).

	British nationality law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Nationality Act 1948 established the status of Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (CUKC), the national citizenship of the United Kingdom and those places that were still British colonies on 1 January 1949, when the 1948 Act came into force.
		British citizenship is the most common type of British nationality, and the only one that automatically carries a right of abode in the United Kingdom.
		British nationals (other than British citizens) who have indefinite leave to remain in the UK or right of abode, are eligible for British citizenship by registration after five years' residence in the United Kingdom.

	Law Enforcement in British Colonial Africa (by Mathieu Deflem)
		As in Nyasaland, the British conquest of the Gold Coast initially relied heavily on a military force for the establishment of the territorial boundaries of British colonial rule.5 In 1845 detachments of the West India Regiment were brought into the territory, and the first official police force was organized in 1865.
		Common law may have been applied to the European settlers in the colonies, but as far as the African populations were concerned, British law was mixed with the European construction of customary law, forming an amalgam of entirely divergent legal principles.
		British laws were introduced, but always with certain mutations, largely for economic and political purposes, to form a hybrid of laws, reflected in a mixture of central and native colonial law enforcement units.

		The notion of British law as a priceless heritage, a precious gift given by the mother country to her far-flung, diverse, colonial subjects was -- perhaps still is -- uncontroversial.
		One of the mythic figures of British Imperialism is the colonial judge, who ventured to the remotest outposts of Empire to bring "law" to colonist and native alike, to exercise moral influence, dispense justice impartially, and, generally, educate all in the virtues of British law, morality, and commerce.

	British Law Concerning Trials of War Criminals by Military Courts. United Nations War Crimes Commission, 1947. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		That the appointment of Allied members of the Military Courts is not compulsory is strikingly demonstrated by the trial by a British Military Court at Singapore of W/O Tomono Shimio of the Japanese Army.
		Their relevance for the development of International Law may rather be compared with the relevance of judicial decisions in countries whose legal systems are not based on the Anglo-American doctrine of the binding character of precedents.
		Although the findings and sentences of British Military Courts trying war criminals do not lay down rules of law in an authoritative way, they are declaratory of the state of the law and illustrative of actual State practice.

	BRITISH COLUMBIA'S ANTI-CRYONICS LAW
		British Columbia is the only legal jurisdiction known to cryonicists to have a law against cryonics.
		Therefore the law prevents the offering of resuscitation insofar as it could be "possible exploitation of individuals at a vulnerable time of their lives." She states that the legislation could be reviewed at a future date if technology changes and that the law does not prevent research.
		British Columbia officials are not presuming jurisdiction over the promotion or sale of cryonics arrangements outside of the province of BC, and the law literally prohibits the selling, but not the buying of cryonics arrangements.

		Admitting the BNP was an extreme example, he said "the principle we are keen to impress on the British government is that just like the French, we have to make it a criminal offence to exploit people in vulnerable situations".

	Nineteenth-Century British and American Copyright Law
		As opposed to the policies that American legislators enshrined in law to protect the wages of their nation's printers, the act of 1838 empowered the Crown to grant the authors of books published in foreign countries the same rights enjoyed by British writers publishing in the United Kingdom.
		Another aspect of the principle of encouragement of learning inherent in British copyright was that, from 1842, the British Museum was to receive a copy of any book printed in London or elsewhere in the United Kingdom within three months of its publication, but within a year if published in the British dominions overseas.
		Under British law, no copyright notice was required of a publisher, but if a printing house were not careful sheets prepared for the British market without the appropriate copyright notice on the title-verso might end up in the United States.

	British Court Deals Blow to Terror Law (washingtonpost.com)
		The detainees, all Muslim men, were not released, because under British law, the last word on the legality of the anti-terrorism act belongs to Parliament.
		But legal observers said the ruling would force the government to amend the law, allowing the men to be either brought to trial or held under less restrictive conditions such as house arrest.
		One solution, Dismore suggested, would be for the government to amend the law to allow the introduction of wiretap evidence and testimony by concealed government witnesses in terrorism trials.

	Background to British Nationality Law from BritainUSA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		A British woman marrying an alien lost her British subject status automatically on marriage, before 1933 whether or not she acquired her husband's citizenship; from that date onwards she lost it only if she acquired the nationality of her husband.
		The nationality of minor children was tied to that of their father or widowed mother, and they gained or lost British subject status accordingly.
		The United Kingdom legislation, the British Nationality Act 1948, created the status of British subject: Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (BS/CUKC) for all those whose connection was with the United Kingdom itself or with a place which, on 1 January 1949, was still a colony.

	Drug Law A British Viewpoint
		Imagine that this regime introduced a law which banned dance parties unless they were authorized by the state, and even then the parties would only be allowed to be of limited duration and on state-licensed premises.
		Britain's archaic licensing laws demand that public entertainments such as nightclubs must be licensed, not just for fire and safety as one might reasonably expect Safety Nazis to demand, but also to serve drink, to play music and to allow dancing.
		This is a classic study of the development of drug laws in the U.S. David Musto examines the relations between public outcry and the creation of prohibitive drug laws from the end of the Civil War to the Reagan and Clinton administrations.

	London groping case dogs governor / British libel law seen as benefit to TV host's suit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		A British television interviewer, Anna Richardson, says Schwarzenegger pawed her during a publicity stop in London in 2000 and then libeled her through statements made by campaign staff that appeared in a California newspaper article five days before the 2003 recall election that vaulted him into office.
		Her version of the events was published in 2001 in the British magazine Premiere, along with similar accusations against Schwarzenegger from two other British female interviewers, neither of whom has sued.
		He said the governor could be helped, if the case makes it to trial, by another difference between the two nations' laws: A British judge generally would bar testimony by other women who accused Schwarzenegger of groping them, unless he raised the issue himself by insisting he would never engage in such conduct.

		Malcolm argues that two major changes in British law created the current crime prone environment: the criminalization of self-defense and the increasing restriction on handguns, culminating in the 1997 ban of handgun ownership.
		A British Petroleum executive used an ornamental sword blade to defend himself against attack and was later convicted of carrying an offensive weapon.
		However, prosecutors are so exacting with this definition that a recent British law textbook says that the right to self-defense is so mitigated "as to cast doubt on whether it still forms part of the law."

		JABS, the British group fighting for the right of parents to choose single vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella, had co-ordinated the action against three drug companies.
		His suggestion of a link between MMR jabs and bowel disease and autism, caused a furore when it was published in the British medical journal, The Lancet, in 1998.
