	Reference for Local Government Act 1972 - Search.com
		A Local Government Commission for England was set up in 1958 to review local government arrangements throughout the country, and had some successes, such as merging two pairs of small administrative counties to form Huntingdon and Peterborough and Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely, and the creation of several contigous county boroughs in the Black Country.
		However, the Local Government Commission was routinely having its recommendations ignored in favour of the status quo, such as its proposal to abolish Rutland, or to reorganise Tyneside.
		Despite assurances that the Act was not attempting to amend loyalties, it nonetheless used the term 'county' instead of 'administrative county' and redefined the boundaries of ceremonial counties used for purposes such as Lieutenancy to these.

		Section 137 is used by an increasing number of local councils to provide a wide range of activities and encourage action by other bodies for the benefit of their inhabitants.

	Westminster v. Porter [2002] EWHC 1589 (Ch) and [2002] EWHC 2179 (Ch)
		The claimant is a local authority, to which the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972 and the Local Government Finance Act 1982, as consolidated and amended by the Audit Commission Act 1998, apply.
		However, the claimant says that in addition to liability under the 1998 Act, the first defendant is liable as a trustee and, for that purpose, pleads in paragraph 2 of the amended particulars of claim that the first defendant was a trustee of the assets of the council for the benefit of the claimant.
		In summary, his submission is that section 18 of the 1998 Act provides an exhaustive code for the determination of the liability of a member or officer of a council for the loss, and that the detailed provisions for appeals by necessary implication exclude the jurisdiction which the court might otherwise have.
