English, Welsh & Scottish legislation explained

About www.cans.org.uk

What is www.cans.org.uk?

www.cans.org.uk is a detailed summary of the laws of England, Wales and Scotland. It is compiled from the original parliamentary sources: statutes and statutory instruments. Statutes give the "bare bones" of legislation and statutory instruments give the "more meaty stuff"; such as how an Act of Parliament will be implemented.

Linking up statutes with the statutory instruments that flesh out the statutory law has never been more important. To deliver the full picture of new, changing and existing legislation in England, Wales and Scotland, we do the leg-work for you - as the law is unfolding.

To give you the complete picture, www.cans.org.uk:

  • Tells you what the law is.
  • Explains the law.
  • Puts the law in context with previous legislation.
  • Explains how the laws relate to each other.
  • Gives you detailed relevant legal references.
  • Keeps you up-to-date with all the latest amendments.
