Article Abstract:
The introduction of new licensing legislation by the UK Labour government will have a positive impact on the way leisure operators and licensees operate in future. Local authorities will be given powers to grant longer opening hours to licensees, reducing the risks associated with a national 11.00 pm closing time, which often results in binge drinking and fighting. A points system will also be introduced to curb the behaviour of bad licensees, with a licence being removed after the three endorsable offenses.

Article Abstract:
The concept of circumstantial evidence relates to indirect evidence leading one to infer that something has happened or has not occurred. A famous case involving this type of evidence was R v Muller, a trial involving Franz Muller accused of a railroad murder. The jury declared Muller guilty despite a lack of direct evidence. The evidence related to a watch which was stolen at the time of the murder, and a hat. Muller was not permitted to give evidence himself.
