This book explains how judges on the UK Supreme Court behave. It looks at different stages in the court's decision-making process—from the initial selection of cases, to the choice of judges to sit on panels, to the final outcome. The main argument of the book is that judges' behavior is strongly affected by their specialism in different areas of law. Cases in tax law (or family law, or public law) are more likely to be heard by specialists in that area, and those specialists are more likely to write the court's decision—or disagree with the decision when there is dissent. Legal factors like specialization in areas of law explains more of the court's work than do political differences between judges.

The Casebook series provides a comprehensive selection of case law that addresses all aspects of the subject encountered on undergraduate courses. A contract may be deemed illegal or void on grounds of public policy. This chapter examines the illegality of contracts under English law, contracts prohibited by statute (express prohibition), and contracts that are illegal in their performance. It considers contracts that are void on grounds of public policy, focusing on contracts in restraint of trade, covenants between employer and employee, exclusive dealing agreements, exclusive service agreements, and severance of the objectionable parts of covenants. The chapter also discusses the recovery of money or property transferred under an illegal contract, along with the UK Law Commission’s proposed reform of the law governing illegal contracts and the supreme court decision of Patel v Mirza over controversy concerning the nature of illegality, the basis for intervention in illegal contracts and the ability to recover under an illegal contract.

The prescribing cascade is a risk-based algorithm that is applied on a case-by-case basis when selecting medicines that are not authorised in a given clinical scenario. It allows for the use of other veterinary medicines, whether authorised in the horse or other species, the use of human medicines from the UK and veterinary medicines from the EU or the use of specials (compounded or medicines produced extemporaneously). Its application brings with it several professional obligations and responsibilities, including the need to obtain written consent. Given the potential food-producing status of the horse, equine veterinary surgeons have additional considerations compared to those working with other species (whether farm animal or companion). Medicine selection under the Cascade must be based on valid justifications for not using authorised medicines (where available) and for the selection of subsequent steps in the Cascade. These justifications should be based on clinical need and a robust evidence base. Given that the Cascade exists to improve animal welfare, cost should not normally be considered as a reason for selecting medicines in the horse.

Did the horses that reached the final of the 2004 PAVO British Eventing Breeding Championships show a higher level of subsequent performance in British Eventing competition compared to those who did not qualify?

The production of young sport horses for British Eventing (BE) competition requires huge investment in terms of time, money and effort. To ensure that such resources are not wasted, it is necessary to select the individuals that display the most talent and potential for an illustrious competitive career. In order to facilitate such selection, the BE Breeding Championships were introduced in 2003. Sponsored by feed manufacturers PAVO, the series is formed by a number of national qualifiers run within a selection of BE one-day events each year. Successful horses qualify for the championship final at the end of the eventing season. The objective of the series is to provide a showcase of the most talented young event horses in the UK for breeders, owners, riders and prospective buyers. The aim of the study was to establish whether 4, 5 and 6 year old horses that qualified for the 2004 PAVO BE Breeding Championship final performed better in BE competition during the following year of competition compared to horses of the same age that did not qualify for the final.

Abstract Impacts of mobile fishing gears on habitat and benthos have been well-documented; in contrast, less studied physical impacts of static fishing gear on benthic habitats are still debated. Pot fishing, is a growing sector in the UK and evidence of any impacts is needed to inform management. This study simulated high intensity experimental pot fishing on the epibenthos of two common UK reef habitats in Northumberland, UK. Single tethered pots were fished in intensively and lightly fished areas over the course of 2 months. Within each area, three experimental sites and control sites were surveyed before and after fishing using photoquadrats (n =  240 per 290 m2 site) collected by scuba divers. PERMANOVA analysis indicated no evidence of epibenthic species abundances decreasing due to physical crushing or abrasion from potting on either intensively or lightly fished reefs. A shift in community composition over time was detected but was attributed to natural change as epibenthos in control sites shifted similarly. Experimental pot impacts far exceeded those of the local commercial pot fishery, providing relevant evidence for statutory governing bodies revisiting current fisheries management. Results are applicable across Western Europe due to the selection of habitats with abundant and commonly distributed benthic species.

This article describes an Australian project which was conducted over several years in which small groups of young people were engaged to participate in the selection of staff to work in youth programs. It builds upon a series of small projects of a similar nature which have been conducted in the UK over the years 1993 to 1996. The collaboration of staff and young people in staff selection was a rewarding one, and led to the conclusion that with appropriate preparation and resourcing, this process is a very worthwhile addition to conventional staff selection, and one which adds useful information to the selection decision.
