Unfortunately, due to unforseen circumstances, we have had to cancel this event. Speakers: Chief Master Karen Shuman, Professor James Lee, King’s College London, Professor Judith Bourne. Full agenda to follow. In 1925 six Bills relating to property legislation received the Royal Assent which aimed to ‘simplify’ and ‘make certain’ all land transactions, as well as reduce the number of estates, and make negotiations more affordable. • Much of that legislation has now been repealed and replaced but to what extent were these Acts successful in facilitating and securing dealings in land? • Were the hopes of the legislators achieved? • Were the objectives of the Acts accomplished, and if so, how? • What further reforms were/are needed? • Is more legislation required to ensure the secure, effective and affordable dealings in land and property? • What should property regulation look like in 2125? This conference seeks to reflect and analyse ‘after 1925’ Tickets: £25 include tea, coffee and lunch Abstract Submissions Panels and papers of 20 minutes are invited. Abstracts should be no longer than 750 words for panel proposals, and 250 words for individual papers. A 200 word biography of each presenter should also be attached. It is intended that papers from this symposium will be published as a volume. We welcome papers from academics at all stages of their careers, lawyers and independent researchers. Please send your abstracts to Judith.bourne@cilexlawschool.ac.uk Closing date for submissions 17/02/2025

'Religious Disputes and the Custody of Children: Dr Barnardo in the House of Lords' Speaker: Professor Michael Lobban FBA In the 19th century, disputes over the custody of children often centred on disagreements over the religious upbringing of the child in question and whether the child should be educated in the faith of its deceased father. In the 1890s, Dr Thomas Barnardo, famous for the homes for destitute and orphaned children he had founded in the East End of London, became involved in several of bitter custody cases with strong sectarian overtones. The fiercely evangelical Dr Barnardo resisted attempts by Catholic agencies acting on behalf of Catholic mothers to gain custody of children in his homes through the writ of habeas corpus. The talk will focus especially on two landmark cases involving Barnardo which reached the House of Lords in this decade.
