The Penal Code of Bhutan
The Penal Code of Bhutan was introduced just four years before that nation became a democratic state in 2008. After a brief outline of the origins of that Code, this article proceeds to describe the qualities of a ‘good’ code, as viewed by Thomas Macaulay, the principal drafter of the Indian Penal Code.

Codification, Macaulay and the Indian Penal Code
English Reform of Partial Defences to Murder
The Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (UK) significantly revises the defence of diminished responsibility under English law.

The comparative exercise produces suggestions for improving these provisions which, if implemented, will achieve greater harmony between the national and international laws on these defences
