“There was no justification for implying a term in a contract for the sale of goods that goods which were accepted as complying with specification on loading at a seaport should be capable of remaining in an acceptable condition until unloaded at the end of a voyage. The contract specified that the buyer ‘assumes all risks pertaining thereto’. These included the risk of cargo instability. Were the term to be implied it would destroy certainty in the international sale of goods because the testing and certification of goods at the point of loading would always have to make way for a special implied term. Despite the huge inroads made first by the common law and then statute, the underlying principle remained caveat emptor, let the buyer beware.”

“The discretion of a prison governor to decide the extent of an inmate’s basic association with his fellows did not remove from association its quality as a personal right, a right which was subject to the lawful exercise of discretion by the governor. Within the autonomous meaning afforded to civil rights by the European Court of Human Rights, a prisoner’s residual right of association was a ‘civil right’ within art 6(1) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.”

“Local authorities enjoyed, by virtue of s 23C(4)(c) of the Children Act 1989, the power to accommodate a person who had formerly been a child in care and was therefore a former ‘relevant child’ within s 23A of the Act, and a local authority was not entitled, when considering whether the welfare of a former ‘relevant child’ who was also an asylum seeker required that he be accommodated by it, to take into account the possibility of support by the National Asylum Support Service.”

“Wounds to the body of weapons inspector David Kelly were ‘typical of self-inflicted injury’, according to previously secret medical documents released today. Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke said he was publishing the documents on how Dr Kelly died ‘in the interests of maintaining public confidence in the inquiry into how Dr Kelly came by his death’. Lord Hutton, who conducted the inquiry into Dr Kelly’s death, ruled that the report should remain secret for 70 years, but there were a number of calls for another examination of the case.”
