NEW/Website für Notare in England und Wales

NEW, NotaryTalk of England and Wales, is a website/forum run by Gregory Taylor, a notary public, not a scrivener notary. There are sections for links, news, German, French and Spanish pages and much more. A large number of articles both introduce the various notary professions and current problems. An important topic is the potential recognition of notaries from England and Wales in Europe.

I have had a few entries on notaries in the past – search for ‘notary’ in the blog. Not long after I started this blog in 2003, I went to a conference where I encountered Spanish-speaking lawyer-translators from South America who did not believe me when I told them about scrivener notaries in the UK.

Electronic anklet / Elektronische Fußfessel

This is a curious image for electronic tagging / monitoring. Surely the purpose of ringing a pigeon is different from the purpose of ringing Martha Stewart?

It appears that Ms Stewart, who is poised to relaunch her career with two television shows, has been cheating a little on the rules of her confinement. The result of this: the home confinement stage of her original sentence will no longer end on 8 August and has instead been extended by three weeks.
