To do list
This to do list has not been changed in 2 years. If ever I find the time, and if since then they haven't been brought up to scratch anyway, I'll work on:

Cases

 * R v Secretary of State for the Home Department Ex p Doody
 * Kay v. Lambeth LBC
 * DPP v Majewski - specific intent and all that jazz
 * McGhee v. National Coal Board -- mesothelioma cases, Compensation Act 2006, issues of causation, "materially increased risk"
 * Re Polemis - Polemis directness. Woot.

Statutes

 * Compensation Act 2006 -- background, effect, claims management, response to the mesothelioma cases
 * European Communities Act 1972 %28UK%29
 * Statute of Frauds 1677 - there is a page for "statute of frauds" in general, which digressed into US law. Would be nice to discuss the actual Statute, background (Slade's case, professional perjury, etc.)

Institutions

 * Court of Exchequer Chamber - history, appointment, clashes with the King's Bench & Common Pleas
 * Courts of the United Kingdom - history, present, 2009 reform
 * Common Bench

Other

 * Blasphemy law in the United Kingdom
 * Duty of care in English law - requires complete rewrite. Maybe merge with standard of care - seeing as the standard defines the duty?
 * Standard of care in English law - this needs a LOT of work. Historical background to the common duty of care; also the reasonable man, reasonable professional, reasonable 12-y-o schoolgirl, etc.
 * Common law - low priority
 * Bill of Middlesex

Roman law
Plan to build a proper framework for classical/post-classical Roman law when I have the chance.
