‘Ferko v Ealing Magistrates Court & Ors (2024) EWHC 2592 (Admin). This was an appeal by case stated to the High Court from a decision of Ealing Magistrates Court on a statutory nuisance/section 82 Environmental Protection Act 1990 prosecution. It is also a remarkable illustration of just how wrong the Magistrates can get such a prosecution, as well as being a helpful primer to constituent elements of an EPA prosecution case.’

‘One aspect of the recent debates surrounding the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill moved by Kim Leadbeater MP was the criticism expressed of the Bill’s drafting – that is, the actual text of the Bill’s provisions as distinct from their underlying policy objectives or purposes. The concerns with this language were largely put to bed when it emerged that the Bill had been drafted by Dame Elizabeth Gardiner, the former First Parliamentary Counsel (FPC, the head of the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel – the legal drafters who draft Bills moved in the UK Parliament).
In this post, I want to challenge two ideas about how the language of a Bill emerges, not least because legislative drafting is a seldom discussed, and (with respect to those who have engaged with this issue in the context of the Leadbeater Bill) considerably underappreciated, aspect of how primary legislation is made at Westminster and its devolved counterparts.’
