Halsbury's Laws

If you want to look for a definition in Halsbury's try looking for the meaning of executor and then more specifically executor et son tort. If you want a definition of the latter, the text gives a reference to Wentworth's Office and Duty of Executors, which has to have one of the best legal acronyms of all time: Went Off Ex.

In a similar vein to the Westlaw legislation search, Halsbury's has a good section on protected wild animals in the UK, as listed in Schedule 5 to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This is in the ANIMALS volume under Protection of Other Wild Animals. Searching for the phrase Protection of Wild Animals will not work so this is perhaps a good opportunity to using proximity connectors on Lexis.

Protected species include among many others the:

Wart-biter Grasshopper; and the

Trembling Sea Mat ("sounds like a description of me on a surf board" / "reminds me of the time I got out of my depth on a li-lo" etc).

Once found, this paragraph [1015] offers links to the current legislation and also to the paragraph on penalties [1013] for infringing this Act (via footnote 2).
