In 1964 the British Museum Library received a bequest of 246 works of erotic literature from Charles Reginald Dawes; [g] according to Cross, writing in 1991, "many scholars now consider to be of more importance than the Ashbee erotica collection". [54] The Dawes bequest included four editions of Fanny Hill; The Memoirs of Dolly Morton; five editions of works by de Sade; and Teleny, or The Reverse of the Medal, an early work of gay erotic fiction, published anonymously but speculatively attributed—in part at least—to Oscar Wilde. Also included was Dawes's copy of My Secret Life (1889–1895), an 11-volume first edition, which was one of the 25 copies printed. [50] Dawes had much of his collection bound in Morocco leather or calfskin, and included his book-plate. [50] [54]Just over a fifth (21.5%) of all applications were made by local authorities in the North West of England, followed by 17.2% of applications from local authorities in London. Local authorities in the North East have made the fewest number of applications (3.5% of the total). This pattern of regional variation has broadly remained the same since July 2022. Because of the nature of the books in the Suppressed Safe collection—sometimes being held there because of legal requirements—it remains a closed collection, with no access to readers.

Certain non-section 8 cases can be sent to Cafcass if the subject child is a party to ongoing proceedings (and a Cafcass officer has been appointed as the children’s guardian) or the court is directed to do so by a judge or legal advisor Part IV of the Family Law Act 1996 provides single and unified domestic violence remedies in the family court and the High Court, with the vast majority carried out in the former.

Eleven centralised divorce centres were introduced during 2014 and 2015 in England and Wales, with the vast majority of uncontested decree nisi applications being considered by Legal Advisers (rather than district judges) at those centres. As a result of the introduction of centralised divorce centres, an accompanying csv file with a breakdown of divorce petitions by county and urban area based on petitioner postcode data is provided annually. This is to provide a more representative breakdown of the location of divorce petition applications. Att Gen Office Review of the efficiency and effectiveness of disclosure in the criminal justice system Nov 2018 Chambers, David (2015). "Ashbee, Henry Spencer [pseud. Pisanus Fraxi]".

Pisanus Fraxi" is described by Ashbee's biographer David Chambers as "a scatological anagram of the Latin words for ash and bee, fraxinus apis". [33]That “reviewing lawyer” would have a full knowledge of both parallel cases. Ultimately that same lawyer must consider secondary disclosure once the Defence Statement and any s8 CPIA disclosure applications are made pre-trial. That “reviewing disclosure lawyer” should be physically present when the case is heard at court. Disclosure needs to be under constant review. Sometimes it is what a witness might say in evidence which triggers disclosure. During a civil case you may have reached the point where you are contemplating bringing a private prosecution at a time when you are in continued dialogue with the (civil) defendant. You are going to be open to criticism if you continue to conduct effectively a process with the defendant which is no different to a criminal interview without safeguards in place for him or her. Realistically would a defendant in a civil action engage if a prosecution was on the cards? When settling a claim for a client or drafting of a settlement agreement with a defendant in civil proceedings, are you not obliged to let the defence team know you are contemplating a private prosecution? This is where the UMS will be of use, evidencing when exactly your team held meetings and made decisions to prosecute. A collateral use issue raised its head in Gilani v Saddiq [17]. Permission was granted for documents disclosed in civil proceedings to be produced as evidence in a private prosecution brought by the claimant against the same defendants, based on materially the same facts as the civil claim but including allegations of fraud. In a civil claim arising from a dispute over a property development agreement, the claimant applied [18] for permission to use documents disclosed by the defendants as evidence in a private prosecution against the same defendants. There was held to be a public interest in facilitating the prosecution of crimes and it was the prosecutor’s duty to lay before the court all the evidence relevant to the offences charged.
