The statute received Royal Assent on the 26th march 2015, from Queen Elizabeth, temporal and spiritual lords, the commons and the parlimentary assembly.

Searching for the act on both lexis and west law proved challenging due to the vast amount of information that was available.

I found the act on both sites, however, found west law more accessible as I am more familiar with it

The statute received Royal Assent on 26th March, 2015 from Queen Elizabeth, spiritual and temporal Lords, the Commons, and the parliamentary assembly.

Searching for this on both Lexis and Westlaw was challenging due to the abundance of information on the subject, making it hard to identify the exact piece I needed.

I managed to find the Act on both database; while I found Lexis easier to use, I’ll likely be using both in the future to find out the advantages and disadvantages of both.

The statue was given royal assent 26th march 2015 by Queen Elizabeth, by the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and common, in the present of Parliament assembled. As stated on Lexis.

I found this a little hard to pinpoint the information as I am not familiar using either Lexis or Westlaw and they was lots of information within the Consumers Right act 2015.

I look forward to being able to use both sources to help me in my future research studies.

Thank you to everyone who tackled the preparatory task this week. There has been some excellent work and some honest reflecting. Hopefully this will help you in our session this week, where Sally and I will guide you through a research exercise. See you all there! Chris B

The statue was given Royal Assent on 26 March 2015 by Queen Elizabeth II.

Those responsible for making this statute include the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons.

I decided to use both Lexis and Westlaw for my information as I wanted to get a handle on using both resources, as I know this will be assessed during this semester.

I found the task pretty straight forward but found that with both sites you do need to be careful as there is a lot of information available.  Deciphering some of the wording was something I had to pay extra attention to.

I feel the more experience I have using both Lexis and Westlaw, the better I will be able to navigate my way round both sites to successfully retrieve all the information I need for the future.

I intend to keep building on my usage of both to build on my fluency, accuracy and speed in order to further help with my research.

Preamble -
The introduction found on Westlaw is as follows:
'An Act to amend the law relating to the rights of consumers and protection of their interests; to make provision about investigatory powers for enforcing the regulation of traders; to make provision about private actions in competition law and the Competition Appeal Tribunal; and for connected purposes.'(1)
The statute was given royal assent by Queen Elizabeth the second on the 26th of March 2015.
It was enacted by her Majesty, 'By and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons,'(1) established by the authority of the Parliament assembled at the time.

I found this task daunting as I have not yet taught myself how to use Lexis or Westlaw effectively. Each database greets with an abundance of text and navigation; this is rather overwhelming. I shall now read chapter six of my Legal Skills book and in turn improve my competence with both.

The statute was given royal assent on the 26th March 2015 by Queen Elizabeth, the Lords spiritual and temporal, commons and the parliament assembly. I found it really hard finding this piece on both lexis and west law because there are lots of information about the topic and I was not sure if what I saw was what I was looking for. I got more familiar with Lexis compared to west law. But I look forward to using both for a good and better research.

The Consumer rights act 2015 was designed to amend law relating to consumer rights and protection of their interests. This bill was given the Royal Assent on the 26th March 2015, Lexis states, "Be it enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled". This act was introduced by The Secretary of Business, Innovation and skills Vince Cable and given royal assent by Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. Personally i found this task very straightforward as Lucy had already shown me how to use Lexis, i didn't use Westlaw at all and stuck to Lexis so in future i could improve my researching skills by using both Lexis and Westlaw as opposed to just using one of the sources in order to ensure i get the full picture and maximize research time, i also find Lexis very easy to use and useful for finding information so for future research and reflection i will use it first.

Bill given on the 26th of March 2015. ‘Be it enacted by the Queens Excellent Majesty’ advice and consent from Lords Spiritual, Temporal, commons in this present Parliament.
While doing this task I found it difficult at the beginning to find where Lexis was but once I had found it, it was pretty straightforward and easy to find all the information needed. I also looked on westlaw and that was similar. So in the future I will be able to use these databases to find pieces of legislation.

Royal Assistant was given to the bill on the 26th of March 2015. It overall came into force on the 1st of October 2015. This act was introduced by the Secretary of Business, Innovation and skills, Vince Cable. This bill received royal assistant under the reign of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. Throughout this task I found it difficult, at first to understand how to use WestLaw correctly however after attempting different ways and searching various topics , I was able to find the exact information in which was useful.

The bill was given royal assent on the 26th March 2015. On Westlaw it states ‘BE IT ENACTED by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled’. I found it difficult to navigate the database at first but once I had spent a while on the site and I got use to it and where to find all the information that I needed I found it very easy.
