The papers on this website are for use by SCL members only, and papers may be downloaded, printed and/or otherwise retained for that purpose only by members of the SCL. The availability of all papers past and present represents one a significant benefit to members of SCL and wider dissemination of SCL papers dilutes that to the detriment of the membership. Further and more importantly, copyright in the papers belongs jointly to the writers of the paper and to the SCL, and the SCL is not therefore in a position to provide any wider licence. Accordingly the SCL asks members not to disseminate papers more widely than their licence allows (e.g. by posting them on internal legal resource intranet databases and the like).

The views expressed by the authors in the papers are theirs alone and do not necessarily represent the views of SCL, its Council or members. These papers are not a substitute for legal advice on any particular problem which they touch upon and cannot be relied upon as such. Neither the authors nor SCL accepts any liability whatsoever in respect of any use to which any papers or any information or views expressed in those papers may be put, whether arising through negligence or otherwise.
