Subject: Re: [Cc-uk] What's the point?


Is there any point in commenting on these drafts?

The point has been made often enough before. This draft is unusable in
Scotland and Northern Ireland. This wouldn't be a complaint if the group
behind it had the grace to put themselves forward as the England and
Wales project. For what reasons I know not, the draft is again
represented as an all-UK version and I see the bunnies in America and
Heidelberg have been gulled into accepting it as such.  I can understand
that they weren't to know. But the Legal Advisory Board has no such
excuse.

I would hope that when the English/Welsh draft is finally accepted ICC
will insist on publishing  it as such rather than with its current claim
that it covers all three jurisdictions. Will they?
