Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prince Charles once referred to Dr John Kirkhope, one of the co-authors of this book, as 'some kind of nutter' because he had the temerity to investigate the Duchy of Cornwall. Clearly he touched a nerve as his investigations attempted answer some basic questions about this curious entity. What exactly is the Duchy? Where did it originate and is it really the private property of the Prince of Wals? Prince Charles also applied the same appellation to Lord Berkeley, both a hereditary and a life peer, who went as far as introducing a private member's bill into the House of Lords, one that would have required the Duchy to pay tax at the same level as private companies in the UK. Far from being an innocuous and consumer-friendly organisation from the land of clotted cream, pasties and wreckers, the evidence suggests the Duchy of Cornwall is secretive, unaccountable, aloof and even somewhat sinister. What's clear is that it is not subject to the various laws and criminal sanctions - should they act in breach of the law - that apply to the rest of the country and its citizens. Published with the assistance of Republic, this book challenges long-established assumptions about the Duchy, and whether it really is a private estate that should be in the hands of the heir to the throne. "A vital exploration of a secretive and feudal estate, one that raises many uncomfortable questions for the royals and their supporters." REPUBLIC "I am not a historian but I do take some satisfaction in the fact the Duchy of Cornwall has recently, very probably, been subject to more public scrutiny than at any time in its history." JOHN KIRKHOPE "No individual, irrespective of his or her status, or organisation, no matter what its purpose, make up or history, has any right to claim exemptions from, or simply ignore, the rules and laws that govern every other individual and organisation in Britain. And it is frankly disgraceful that the principle of equality before the law should be so blatantly ignored by the Duchy." PETER STUART SMITH

Download or read book An Introduction to the Laws of the Duchy of Cornwall the Isles of Scilly and Devon written by John Kirkhope and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of "An introduction to the Laws of the Duchy of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly, and Devon" is a lawyer, not a historian, although he has a passion for history. As a lawyer he takes a special interest in those laws which are particular to Cornwall and, to a lesser extent, to the Isles of Scilly and to Devon and are still capable of application in the twenty-first century. It is noteworthy that certain ancient laws and customs, in particular Stannary Law, although not as relevant today as once they were, are still part of the law of England and Wales. They continue to give rights which are capable of being exercised. This is not meant to be legal textbook; that would be very dull. It is instead intended to initiate the reader to a fascinating topic. In particular there has been a growth in the number of people interested in studying the history and culture of Cornwall. This work is intended to cast additional light on an aspect of the legal history of Cornwall. It is hoped that it will encourage the reader to research still further; to that extent a lengthy list of additional reading is also provided. John Kirkhope has been awarded degrees and post-graduate qualifications from the Open University, Nottingham Trent University, Bristol University, and Cambridge. He was recently awarded a Doctorate in Philosophy from Plymouth University; his thesis was an examination of the Duchy of Cornwall and is entitled The Duchy of Cornwall-A Feudal Remnant. Professionally John qualified as a solicitor and a Notary Public.

Book excerpt: Laws of the Sea assembles scholars from law, geography, anthropology, and environmental humanities to consider the possibilities of a critical ocean approach in legal studies. Unlike the United Nations’ monumental Convention on the Law of the Sea, which imagines one comprehensive constitutional framework for governing the ocean, Laws of the Sea approaches oceanic law in plural and dynamic ways. Critically engaging contemporary concerns about the fate of the ocean, the collection’s twelve chapters range from hydrothermal vents through the continental shelf and marine genetic resources to coastal communities in France, Sweden, Florida, and Indonesia. Documenting the longstanding binary of land and sea, the chapters pose a fundamental challenge to European law’s “terracentrism” and its pervasive influence on juridical modes of knowing and making the world. Together, the chapters ask: is contemporary Eurocentric law—and international law in particular—capable of moving away from its capitalist and colonial legacies, established through myriad oceanic abstractions and classifications, toward more amphibious legalities? Laws of the Sea will appeal to legal scholars, geographers, anthropologists, cultural and political theorists, as well as scholars in the environmental humanities, political ecology, ocean studies, and animal studies.
