Why should you buy Halsbury's Laws of England Fifth Edition Volume 95 2023 Social Services, Space Industry and Specific Performance


In 2022 the United Kingdom space industry was estimated to be worth £18.3 bn to the domestic economy. More than 1500 businesses, employing around 49,000 people, operated in the sector. £635m was invested in Space Industry operations, and Spaceport Cornwall was granted the UK's first spaceport operator licence. The industry has been identified as a key player in wider Government strategies such as Net Zero; Build Back Greener; and Becoming a Science Superpower.

The rapid growth of the UK Space Industry highlighted a need for a new regulatory framework fit for the 21st century. Accordingly, in 2018 the Space Industry Act was enacted, replacing existing statutory provisions derived from the Apollo-era UN Outer Space Treaty. The 2018 Act, and the subordinate legislation made under it, makes comprehensive provision for:

* the licensing and operation of spaceports and spaceflight;
* the provision and operation of range control services;
* the training, recruitment and welfare of human participants in space industry operations;
* the investigation of accidents; and
* the administration of the industry and its operations by the Civil Aviation Authority.

The new Halsbury's Laws of England Space Industry title is a comprehensive and authoritative statement of the law in this area. It draws together the various legislative materials into an easy-to-follow narrative, set within the context of the various international treaties and other instruments which still govern global space operations. Fully integrated into and cross-referenced with the entirety of the work, the new Space Industry title is a valuable addition to the Halsbury range of titles.
