Greetings to all,

It appears that the new list server is doing yeoman service. Let me know if you do not agree.

Here is some web-oriented news.

1. There is a new service which allows you to get HL judgments on the web. The home page for the Palace of Westminster is

http://www.parliament.uk

You can find your way to the judicial business of the HL from there, or go directly to

http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/ pa/ld/ldjudinf.htm

This service only includes judgments handed down since 14 November 1996, but claims to make them available within 2 hours of their release.

For information, Australian High Court cases dating back to 1947 are available at

http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/high_ct/

and Supreme Court of Canada cases since 1993 are at

http://www.droit.umontreal.ca/SCC.html

If anyone has information on parallel services in these or other jurisdictions, please let me know.

2. List members will also be interested in the Web Journal of Current Legal Issues, which is at

http://www.ncl.ac.uk/~nlawwww/

The newest edition (29 Nov) includes a case note on Jones v. Jones (which I mentioned in an earlier posting) by Wan Er Chu and Paul Todd. You can go directly to this note at

http://www.ncl.ac.uk/~nlawwww/1996/ issue5/erchu5.html

That's it for now,

Lionel Smith
