English Law (Application) Act 1962‎

Arms of Gibraltar
Arms of Gibraltar
  • Reviewed: Gerberian Shepsky
  • Comment: I'm happy to cut down the original so it's just about seduction

Created by The C of E (talk). Self-nominated at 07:29, 7 October 2020 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg The article passes the tests, but I have had to correct the “Repeals” section, which was mixing up criminal and civil law - see Appendix 3 of the Act. And neither of the hooks is correct. On the main hook, about seduction, whether it was to be lawful or not isn’t the issue dealt with, it was about whether it was to be a cause of action at civil law, viz., whether someone could get damages from someone else as a result of it. On Alt1, Gibraltar wasn’t adopting English law, it had been using it since the 18th century. We just need a hook that is spot on. Moonraker (talk) 06:23, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping Alt1 isn't about Gibraltar adopting English law, its about Hong Kong using it as the basis for their equivilant law. We can always amend the original to:
  • ALT2 ... that the English Law (Application) Act 1962‎ stopped people from suing for seduction in Gibraltar (arms pictured)? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 06:57, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
    • Template:U, point taken, but the same is true of Hong Kong, neither was adopting English law, what was surely going on was that their own separate legal systems were being launched, based on the English law they had been using for generations. Yes, Alt2 looks okay at first sight. I’ll look back later today. Moonraker (talk) 07:03, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg On looking more closely, Alt2 suffers from paraphrasing and isn’t quite right.
