Excerpt from On the Practicability of Codifying English Law: With a Specimen Code of the Law of Evidence
But we think it unadvisable to continue any further this mode of proceeding. We have found that the examination and revision of these materials, with that rigorous care and accuracy which would be requisite, would involve considerable further delay and expense while on the other hand we have satisfied ourselves that these speci mens would have again to be revised, and perhaps recast, when the time arrived for inserting them as portion of a complete and syste matic work.
Still they recommend the appointment of a commission of three persons to execute a digest as a whole. Mr. Justice Willes dissents from that report, and pronounces against the further prosecution of the digest, giving reasons in which I entirely concur. The last I have heard about the Commission is that they have been engaged in a litigation with one of the gentlemen employed to prepare the digest as to the amount of his remuneration. Nothing has been done to carry out the suggestions of appointing a paid commission to produce a digest, and I suppose the great probability is that this scheme will not be further proceeded with.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book from 1866 examines the prospect of simplifying English law and condensing it into an organized and useful code. It questions whether the complexity of English law is deliberately maintained to benefit legal professionals at the expense of the public having access to justice, with lengthy volumes on statutes and reports requiring significant investment in time and money to understand. The author proposes a solution to this complexity, promoting a more user-friendly approach that would make the law more accessible to citizens and easier to navigate. Thought leaders and societal critics of the time add their opinions to the discussion, raising important questions about the role of law in society and its impact on justice and equality.
