On 10th July 2003, the Licensing Act 2003 received Royal Assent in the United Kingdom, delivering New Labour's promised overhaul of licensing. However, contrary to hopes and expectations, this legislation reversed one of the most important exceptions to public entertainment licenses for live performances: the 'two in a bar rule'. It permitted unlicensed performances by no more than two musicians in liquor licensed venues. The UK's new legislation introduces, in effect, a 'none in a bar rule', meaning that most venues will require entertainment licenses to provide any form of live music. This was and remains a very controversial move, in advance of which the legislature would have done well to consider the development of equivalent legislation in New York.

Family mediation has been the target of criticism from feminists, the legal profession, and mental health professionals. Although this article will primarily address the concerns of feminists, it will, to a limited extent, address some of the concerns put forth by the other groups because of the similarities in their perspectives. Many of the concerns and issues expressed by feminists are valid on one hand, yet contradictory on the other. By exploring the gains made by women and how these gains were incorporated in the Ontario Family Law Act, the contradictions inherent in their arguments will be revisited and discussed in relation to a feminist‐informed mediation process. This article will explore seven aspects of the feminist critique of family mediation: protection of women and children's rights, spousal and child support, equal distribution of marital property, negotiations, empowerment, custody, and spousal abuse. Many of these issues are intertwined and therefore will occasionally be discussed in relation to other issues.

During the past two decades, developing countries, recognizing the need to control rapid population growth, have relied heavily upon family planning programmes established under both public and private auspices. By 1973, approximately 28 per cent of the developing countries in the world had official population reduction policies, and 26 per cent of these countries provided support to private family planning programmes.
