To conclude LGBT+ History Month we're celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the Armed Forces Act 2016; section 14 of the Act amends the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, and as a result homosexual acts are no longer grounds for being discharged from the armed forces.

Shared here are two landmark cases with anniversaries this year. Both are reported in the Times Law Reports, when they stopped leaving us to our cutting and sticking and instead started sending out pages to file once a week. To this day we continue to receive and file regular deliveries.

This year marks 40 years since Rees v the United Kingdom. The above image shows the case as reported in the Times on 21st October 1986. It would have been cut out and stuck in to our volume by a member of library staff back in 1986, with the court and date written in by hand.

Barristers! Got a dubious citation? Unsure whether a case actually exists?
Don’t let inaccurate or AI-generated case citations
make their way into your bundles.
Today we begin trialling a new service. It's called 'Check My Citation'. www.innertemplelibrary.org.uk/check-my-cit...
