Blackstone's Statute Books have been designed specifically to provide students with a collection of statutes for use throughout their course, and now cover all the main law subjects. This 2001/2002 edition of Blackstones Statutes on Family Law incorporates additions and amendments to existing statutes and relevant provisions of new legislation. Existing statutes that have been amended over the past year include inter alia, the Adoption Act 1976, the Domestic Proceedings and Magistrates Courts Act 1978, the Child Abduction Act 1984, the Children Act 1989, the Education Act 1996, the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996, the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and the Care Standards Act 2000. New legislation includes the Trustee Act 2000, the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000, the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000 (which establishes the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service) and the Health and Social Care Act 2001. Two Appendices are included.Appendix I contains relevant provisions of international conventions. Following the decision not to implement Part II of the Family Law Act, the old Appendix II has been omitted. In its place is a new Appendix II, which contains the main provisions of the important Adoption and Children Bill. Part II of that Bill includes the reforms to the Children Act 1989 that will give automatic responsibility to unmarried fathers where the birth is registered in the names of both parents and introduce the new special guardianship orders.
