Prospective Legislation – we’ve been doing it for years! Appeal tracking – we’ve got it covered! New online content Top Tip! Did you know? It has come to our attention that not everyone is aware of our Prospective Legislation feature. Did you know that we’ve been tracking prospective legislation for years? It’s true; we’ve always incorporated newly enacted amendments not yet in force into the text of our existing Statutes. What's more, we publish prospective amendments on ALL enactment types not just Acts!
We use formatting to show where changes will apply and the NOTES segment at the end of each document indicates the changes that have been made to the text. The source guide details how to recognize what the various formatting means. In brief:
Please see the source guides for further information on legislative formatting. The benefit of having future amendments within the body of the current Act is that you can quickly and easily see the current law, what changes are imminent, what has caused that change and the date when it will commence. All the information you need is added to our legislation as it happens and is available on one page.
An even easier way to get an overview of this type of information is to use Status Snapshots. You’ll get a snapshot of any Act and provision from 2000 onwards at the click of your fingers! You can link directly from any UK Parliament Act on LexisLibrary via the Find out more box which appears in the top right hand of the screen. One click on Status Snapshot will link you through to one page containing all the information held on a piece of legislation. UK Legislation Status Snapshots provides you with the commencement and amendment information for any Act, or section of an Act. Traffic light symbols appear at Act and Provision level, to indicate the current status – ‘in force’, ‘not in force’ or ‘partly in force’.
UK Legislation Status Snapshots can also be located in the sources drop-down menu on the Legislation search form.
In December we launched the Appeal Tracker, and feedback on this development so far has been fantastic! We now offer the ability to track the steps of a prospective appeal case, saving you valuable time searching for that information. Appeal Tracker is an exciting and welcomed enhancement to CaseSearch!
Have a go and see for yourself! On the Cases or General search form, type in “Appeal Tracker” and then click on “Search”. The results list will show all those cases currently subject to appeal proceedings. The distinct red Appeal Tracker icon can be seen when you click through to any of those cases. An Appeal Tracker icon will appear in the toolbar at the top of that full-text case report. You can link directly to the additional table in CaseSearch outlining the dates and steps of the appeal process, by clicking on the Appeal Tracker icon.
Keeping you informed of new case law before it even happens!

By law, it is illegal to heckle the town crier!
To this day, any town crier in Britain is protected under old English law that they are "not to be hindered or heckled while performing their duties". To injure or harm a town crier was seen as an act of treason against the ruling monarchy.
