The footnotes in Halsbury’s Laws have been activated so you can now link from the text to the footnotes. The Halsbury’s text only contains statements of law - no opinion goes in, whilst the footnotes provide the relevant authority to support (or substantiate) the statements set out in the text. The footnotes reference legislation (Acts and SIs) and expand it further by including other relevant legislation, references to case law, quasi legislation, and cross-reference other volumes within Halsbury’s Laws. They also explain what the law means as definitions are provided.
