Celebrating Liberation Day here in #JerseyCI. Very pleased to have bumped into @gillycarr.bsky.social leading historian of the Occupation. Work is under way to put on the web all of Jersey’s old legislation - that will help research into Occupation legislation & government, and postwar reaction.

Had to do the 5 mile commute into the office again today - lovely weather

Wow! Legislation as loyalty oath - & this s1 only comes after 6 pages of long title plus 7 pages of recitals mostly recounting the mighty deeds of Trump. USA & its States really do have a different take on what belongs in legislation from any other Anglophone country www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill...

A fascinating thread for anyone interested in legislative drafting. The role of drafters beyond just drafting is a regular theme of Commonwealth Assoc of Legislative Counsel conferences www.calc.ngo/conferences and “Loophole” journal www.calc.ngo/publications

I thought of your SI tracking when I saw Hansard's SI Tracker (R trademarked), but forgot I'd seen your weeknotes mention JCSI.
I hadn't properly registered you're headed to this- feed of links to all JCSI's defective drafting notes. When ready it will be a key resource for all legislative drafters

Joint Council for Statutory Instruments being reconstituted. JCSI reports are a great source for real examples of problems in applying the principles of legislative drafting. Tough for the (unnamed) drafters who have their slip-ups dissected in public. committees.parliament.uk/committee/14...
