William David Hamilton Sellar, MVO, BA, LLB, LLD, FRHistS, FSAScot
This paper is a personal memoir of the late David Sellar (1941-2019), written by his first doctoral student who subsequently became a long-standing colleague, collaborator and friend. It reflects in particular on his academic contribution as a very distinguished legal and Highland historian, antiquarian and genealogist. Those who knew his work in one or other of these capacities did not always realise how much he had contributed in his other fiel…
Giancarlo Frosio, Reconciling Copyright with Cumulative Creativity
“The evolution of copyright has attracted scholars of formidable polish,” wrote W R Cornish in 1981, citing the works of T E Scrutton, Augustine Birrell, W S Holdsworth and Benjamin Kaplan (Intellectual Property: Patents, Copyright, Trade Marks and Allied Rights, 1st edition, p 293 note 1). The subsequent four decades have seen a further rich flowering of scholarship on the history of copyright, as can be most readily sensed from perusal of the R…
Ole Lando (September 2, 1922–April 5, 2019)
If you want to know about Ole Lando, you can do no better than read his own memoir, “My Life as a Lawyer,” published in the Zeitschrift für Europäisches Privatrecht in 2002.1 There he sets out in characteristically short and pithy sentences the facts of his eighty years to that point, along with an account of the intellectual trajectory that saw him move from the deep study of international private law to the leadership of an academic movement to…

A Second Chamber for the Scottish Parliament
In the light of renewed interest about a second chamber for the Scottish Parliament, this paper (a revised version of one first published in 2003) discusses the reasons why such a chamber might be thought necessary, in particular protection from the ‘tyranny of the majority’; the roles played by a second chamber in initiating as well as revising and reviewing legislation; and representing a territory's constituent regions. The paper next analyses…
The War of the Booksellers
This article analyses the case of Hinton v Donaldson (1773) in which the judges of the Scottish Court of Session refused to follow their English brethren in recognizing an author's right of property outside the Statute of Anne (1710). The decision must be understood against the background of distinct notions of common law and equity in Scots law, drawn from the Natural law tradition of the European jus commune. At the same time the decision revea…
My tongue is mine ain
This article shows how under the present legislation in the United Kingdom copyright may exist in speech, in particular in interviews and conversations, provided that the words are recorded and constitute an original work. The argument is illustrated and supported by reference to reported cases from throughout the common law world, as well as to news stories and interviews with individuals ranging from Lord Denning to Michael Jackson. Issues aris…

Mixed Jurisdictions and Convergence
There is an independent Scottish legal system today because, until the Union of the English and Scottish Crowns in 1603 and the Union of the Parliaments of the two countries in 1707, Scotland was an independent sovereign state. When King James VI of Scotland became James I of England and Great Britain in 1603, there was considerable interest in the possibility of establishing a single legal system for the newly united kingdoms, while during the C…

distinct from those of the other parts of the United Kingdom. We may contrast Wales, which for the purposes of modern law has had no independent identity since 1536, but is simply part of the jurisdiction to which English law and the English court system apply (although this example should also make us consider the extent to which law is a necessary component of a national identity). However that may be, law has played a role in Scotland's sense …

Pleadable Brieves, Pleading and the Development of Scots Law
Until recently there was a depressing consensus about Scottish legal history in the medieval and early modern periods. It was accepted that in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the Scots had gone some way to building a legal system on the model found in contemporary England, involving the holding of courts in the localities by sheriffs and justiciars on ayres, the use of royal writs or brieves to commence litigations, and the determination of …
