Abstract:

The purpose of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Bill, published on 15 June 1966, was to amend and clarify the law relating to termination of pregnancy by a registered medical practitioner. When David Steel, a young Liberal MP from the Scottish Borders, put this bill forward, some suggested that a Scottish politician had no need to introduce abortion reform since Scots law was already satisfactory in this regard. Certainly, abortion law in Scotland was more flexible than its English counterpart, and the number of prosecutions few. The line between criminal and non-criminal abortion was, how

Abstract:

Abstract Abortion law in the United Kingdom is different in England and Wales; Scotland; and Northern Ireland. In all three jurisdictions abortion was a common law offence. In England, Wales, and Ireland it became a statutory offence. The Abortion Act 1967 extended a medical exception to that offence for England, Wales and Scotland. In Northern Ireland abortion remained illegal until 2020. There are moves to ‘decriminalise’ abortion in England, Wales, and Scotland, and increasingly to criminalise expressions of opposition to abortion. It is becoming a criminal offence even to pray silently in

Abstract:

This comprehensive analysis delves into the intricate landscape of abortion legislation, examining it through the contrasting perspectives of "Good Law" and "Bad Law." It embarks on a philosophical journey, dissecting the very nature of legal systems and challenging the notion of whether "bad law" can legitimately be considered as law. Abortion, a contentious and emotionally charged issue, serves as the focal point for this exploration, allowing for a nuanced examination of the implications arising from imperfect and inconsistent legislation. The study commences by unraveling the age-old debat

Abstract: Between the 1960s and 1980s, a wave of abortion law reforms swept through various Western nations. The reforms aimed to clarify extant laws, protect doctors from criminal prosecution, and curtail the toll of backstreet abortions on women's bodies and lives. They emerged out of a series of conflicts and compromises evident in the design and implementation of new abortion laws which, on the one hand, expanded the parameters for legal abortion, but on the other, criminalised abortions that did not fall within them. Despite divergent historical, political, and medical contexts, a transna

Abstract:

SummaryThe enactment of a single legislative scheme governing nonconsensual treatment of both ‘physical’ and ‘mental’ illnesses, based on incapacity principles, has been mooted in recent law reform debates in the UK. We propose a framework for such legislation and consider in more detail the provisions it should contain. The design of legislation that combines the strengths of both incapacity and civil commitment schemes can be readily imagined, based on the criteria for intervention in England and Wales found in the Mental Capacity Act 2005. Such legislation would reduce unjustified legal dis

Abstract:

On the whole, women in New Zealand have good access to safe and affordable means to terminate unwanted pregnancies. Although seemingly ideal, the current situation is a fragile one. Under current legislation, abortion is criminalised and legal access to it relies on gaining the approval of two certifying consultant physicians. In this report, we provide an historical overview of the social and political influences shaping New Zealand’s current approach to abortion, considering the consequences of having abortion governed by criminal law. The situation in New Zealand is used to support a propos

This article considers the legal issues surrounding induced late abortion in cases when severe medical, therapeutic or ethical reasons have not been in dispute. Generally discussing the essential question about abortion today, it means not anymore legality of abortion but, in the first place, safety of abortion. From the aspect of woman health the most important aim is to detect and avoid possible risks of medical intervention, such as late abortion present. This is the matter of medical law context and also the matter of the woman's reproductive rights, here observed through legislation and c

Abstract:

In recent decades, Australian states and territories have introduced a raft of legislation aimed at stripping those involved in criminal activity of their ill-gotten gains. However, in doing so, this far-reaching legislation has the potential to undermine legal principles and protections. We recently completed a study into proceeds of crime legislation in Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland. From our findings it is clear that Western Australia’s legislation is the most far-reaching and potentially the most inequitable. In this article, we provide a critique of Western Australia's

Abstract:

In 1989 New South Wales became the first State in Australia to legislate against racial vilification. The introduction of this legislation, and discussion of similar provisions in other jurisdictions, rekindled debates about the legitimacy of legal limits on hate speech. However, little is known about the practical operation of antivilification laws. This report presents the results of a survey of more than 160 racial vilification complaints handled by the New South Wales Anti-Discrimination Board from 1993 to 1995.

Abstract:

SUMMARYThe legal decision on whether a defendant can fairly take part in a criminal trial in England and Wales is currently based on the leading case of R v Pritchard (1836), which despite subsequent case law updates does not embrace the concept of mental capacity or effectively identify defendants who are unable to meaningfully participate. Further to an extensive consultation process, the Law Commission published recommendations for reform in 2016, with a proposed new test of capacity to participate effectively in a trial and detailed suggestions for statutory reform of court procedures for

Abstract:

The seal of the confessional is often described as ‘inviolable’. The idea that what is said or done in furtherance of private confession may be subjected to scrutiny as part of litigation is often considered to be absurd. But what is the legal basis for such forthright rejection? The revised Canons of the Church of England do not address the issue at all; instead the matter falls to be covered by the unrepealed proviso to Canon 113 of the Code of 1603. In England and Wales there is no primary legislation which clearly and coherently deals with the question of the admissibility of matters said

Abortion is prohibited except on the basis of indications of medical emergencies and pregnancy due to rape as regulated in Article 75 paragraph (2) of Law Number 36 the Year 2009 Concerning Health. Nevertheless, there are some cases where rape victims who abort their womb are found guilty of violating Article 346 of the Criminal Code. This study discusses the legal protection of abortionists in pregnancy due to rape.
