Regulatory gaps and research waste in clinical trials involving women with metastatic breast cancer in Germany

Background Non-publication, incomplete publication and excessively slow publication of clinical trial outcomes contribute to research waste and can harm patients. While research waste in German academic trials is well documented, research waste in Germany related to a specific disease area across non-commercial and commercial sponsors has not previously been assessed. Methods In this cohort study, we used public records from three clinical trial registries to identify 70 completed or terminated clinical trials involving women with metastatic breast cancer with trial sites in Germany. We then searched registries and the literature for trial outcomes and contacted sponsors about unreported studies. Results We found that 66/70 trials (94.3%) had made their results public. Only 13/70 (18.6%) trials had reported results within one year of completion as recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO). The outcomes of 4/70 trials (5.7%) had not been made public at all, but only one of those trials had recruited a significant number of patients. Conclusions Discussions about research waste in clinical trials commonly focus on weakly designed or unreported trials. We believe that late reporting of results is another important form of research waste. In addition, a discussion regarding the appropriate ethical and legal rules for reporting the results of terminated trials might add value. German legislation now requires sponsors to upload the results of some clinical trials onto a trial registry within one year of trial completion, but these laws only cover around half of all trials. Our findings highlight the potential benefits of extending the scope of national legislation to cover all interventional clinical trials involving German patients.

A Systematic Analysis of Statewide Reports on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples in the U.S.: What We Know and Where to Go from Here☆

AbstractFor generations, Indigenous communities have been calling attention to a widespread form of victimization known as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP). In response to grassroots efforts across rural communities, there has been a marked increase in legislation at the federal and state levels to address MMIP from 2018 to the present. Federal legislation has provided the most comprehensive and coordinated model of response to MMIP. This study analyzes how the scope and themes of federal legislation addressing MMIP are mirrored in the bills recently enacted by 14 states addressing MMIP. One goal of this study is to identify strengths and limitations within state legislation and provide insight into critical areas of focus for improving state legislative responses to MMIP. Next, we analyze reports from federal MMIP legislation and the 10 states (among the 14 with legislation) that have currently published MMIP reports to date. Our analysis of MMIP reports expands knowledge on (1) how data were collected and interpreted across jurisdictions, and (2) whether states experience MMIP in similar or different ways. Drawing on our comparative analysis of legislation and reports across jurisdictions, we offer data‐driven recommendations for states to consider when addressing MMIP.

Legal basis and main technologies of socio-psychological work with vulnerable categories of the population in the community

The war in Ukraine has led to an increase in the need for social assistance among vulnerable populations, which requires strengthening the capacity of social services to respond to new challenges. The purpose of this study is to examine the legal and technological framework for wartime assistance and to demonstrate the effectiveness of modern methods through theoretical and empirical analysis. Data collection and analysis were conducted in compliance with ethical and legal standards for social research. Currently, Ukrainian policy makes it possible to support models such as the proposed Integrated Social Services approach. However, the findings of the study indicate a potential need for legal/regulatory reforms to further strengthen the capacity to respond to crisis situations. The results confirm that the implemented interventions successfully address the problems of displaced persons, veterans, most-at-risk families, etc. Individual case management and group social and psychological trainings contribute to capacity development, and the model of integrated services allows for quick resolution of acute problems. Comparative evaluations show that the integrated system is superior to individual methods in quickly addressing crisis situations. However, new groups that fall outside the scope of current legislation, such as victims of domestic violence, may require mandatory expansion of eligibility criteria. Laws could also include standards for interagency coordination to address fragmentation. This urgent relevance highlights how robust legal/ethical foundations uphold assistance models in turmoil. It was also concluded that the implementation of legal reforms that would create a unified system of cooperation could mitigate these problems. In particular, legislation could formalise requirements such as data and information sharing between service providers, common case management procedures, common reporting standards and interdisciplinary partnerships. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the results of the problem analysis to create accessible mechanisms to improve the quality of support for vulnerable demographic groups. Enshrining access to care as an inalienable guarantee creates an ecosystem that is resilient to modern threats

Labor relations: A perspective in the law of a post-industrial society

The article discusses changes in the science of labor law and labor legislation of the Russian Federation in connection with the transition of society to a post-industrial state. The significance of the labor relationship is studied in the aspect of the trend of development of legislation in accordance with the goals and objectives established in Art. 1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The opinions expressed in the literature about the crisis of the labor relationship are critically comprehended. The author joins the point of view on the need to modernize the labor legislation, but at the same time advocates the preservation of the doctrine of labor law, embodied in the current law, and makes an attempt to prove the expressed opinion. In particular, the most important consideration in this sense is the distinction developed by L. S. Tal between independent and non-independent labor. The Labor Code establishes the backbone concept of an employment relationship and an employment contract based on legal equality. Additional arguments are given in favor of the supported point of view. In the labor relationship, personal dependence is excluded, but since labor is not independent, economic and organizational (subordination) dependence of the employee is assumed. In a welfare state, the dependent subject of relations related to labor must be protected, among other things, by expanding the scope of labor legislation. It is necessary, according to the author, to develop the idea of fair and harmonious labor relations, ─ in accordance with the global trend, including in accordance with the activities of the International Labor Organization, the purpose of which is to promote social and economic progress, improve the welfare and improve the working conditions of people, protection of human rights.

Problems and prospects of labor law in the research of German labor law scientist Manfred Weiss

The purpose of writing this article was the desire to acquaint readers with the most significant scientific views of a respected colleague, a scientist in the field of labor law, Professor Manfred Weiss. For the review, the scientific research of Professor Weiss over the past ten years, concerning the most pressing problems of labor law, was selected. The result of studying the works of Professor Weiss was the systematization and presentation of the problematic issues he studied within the framework of three sections of the article. In the first section, assessing the risks of labor law delegitimization, Professor Weiss explores the transformation of the world of work at various historical stages, including the present one. Labor law should be adapted to modern conditions in several areas: the search for new models of organizing the collective will of workers; expanding the scope of labor law; mitigating the risks posed by new forms of employment; human rights and protection against discrimination. The second section of the review of works is devoted to the transnationalization of labor relations. According to Weiss, the lack of decent labor standards in global supply chains and the irresponsibility of multinational corporations are acute. Tools to counter these forces should be sought not in national labor law, but in the international context. Attempts to develop binding international standards have so far been unsuccessful, and according to Weiss, international framework agreements have the greatest potential in regulating labor relations with a transnational element. Finally, the third section brings together Professor Weiss' reflections on the impact of digitalization on the world of work. Recognizing the inevitability of human displacement by artificial intelligence and robots in certain areas, the scientist is concerned about the development of early solutions to several of the most pressing problems in the interests of respecting the rights and interests of workers. These include strengthening the role of lifelong learning, revising the scope of labor legislation in a circle of people, revising the concept of working time, strengthening the protection of personal, official and commercial information, changing the approach to protecting the life and health of an employee and searching for a new concept of work-life balance, finding ways development of collective representation. The professor recognizes the positive aspects of the impact of digitalization on the world of work, but on the condition that its negative consequences in the form of objectification of labor subjects will be overcome.

Canadian Law Between the Wars

Examined through a legal prism, Canada is an officially bilingual federal state with a bi-juridical legal system based, for the most part, on the traditions of British common law as it has evolved over the years. But in Quebec, the private law is civil law, contained in a Civil Code, derived from the laws established in what was New France. Canadian public law is essentially British. The current Head of State is King Charles III, Head of the Commonwealth. Canada’s constitution sets forth, inter alia, the jurisdictional competence of the federal government and that of the provinces and territories. Over the course of the more than 150 years since Confederation, the respective governments have engaged in much litigation, testing the limits of their respective legislative powers. Beginning in the early years of the twentieth century, an increasing volume of legislation developed as Canada progressed from its colonial status to a fully autonomous state with full control of both its domestic and foreign affairs. The scope and volume of legislation increased substantially in the lead-up to the Second World War (and thereafter) as governments, in their respective spheres, sought to create a legal environment that was attentive to a broader range of social issues. The existence of a federal state complicated the development and enactment of policies that produce the same outcomes throughout the country, since the constitution confers legislative jurisdiction on the provinces regarding property and civil rights. Much effort is expended in intergovernmental negotiations, leading to achievement of substantially harmonised results.

좋은 입법을 위한 행정법학적 과제

It is no exaggeration to say that modern democracies refer to rule of law. Above all, legislation is the cornerstone of the rule of law. The reason is that the law in a democratic country is the will of the entire people according to the principle of representation, and the democratic basic order is the rule by the people. This is because the main ordinance of what administrative agencies do is strict enforcement of the law, and the job of judicial agencies is a trial based on the law.
 Therefore, the starting point of democratic state theory is how people can have good laws. In this article, we tried to discuss the elements of good legislation, the current status of legislation in Korea, and the legislative cases that are problematic.
 The element of good legislation refers to a law that 1. complies with legislative procedures 2. has content justification. In addition, factors such as 1) constitutionality, 2) systematicity of the law, 3) content consistency, 4) compliance with the limits of delegated legislation, 5) legalization of administrative rules, and 6) the scope and limitations of ordinance legislation must be examined.
 However, through legislative cases that do not have these elements of good legislation, I tried to think about good legislation in detail. The first is an example of the obscenity of the agenda effect regulation. The second is the issue of deregulation legislation that changed the permit system to a reporting system, that is, ‘reporting that requires repair,’ the third is the issue of legislation on police organization and police action, and the fourth is the issue of excessive decentralization.

Integration of the European Single Market Thirty Years After Its Creation

The European single market was launched on 1 st January 1993. Presumably, it is at that time that three fundamental barriers (physical control at the border, various technical requirements, and differing systems of indirect taxation) were formally removed to ensure four treaty-based freedoms: free movement of goods, freedom to provide services, free movement of people and free movement of capital. The EU single market is characteristic in nature due to the scope of legislation governing businesses and consumers, which is largely subject not to unification, rather only harmonisation. Regrettably, this has resulted in EU legislation being (deliberately at times) not always correctly implemented into the national legal system. This leads to market fragmentation and creates barriers, rather than eliminating them. This study aims to identify the relationship between full and correct implementation of EU legislation into the Member States’ legal systems versus progress in European single market integration. Therefore, the evolution of indicators defining how much EU single market legislation in the Member States has been implemented was examined. At the same time, changes in transposition deficit (from 1997 to 2021) and conformity deficit (from 2004 to 2021) for particular Member States were critically analysed. Further, it was analysed how much the single market was integrated from the perspective of goods being the main components of the single European market. To this end, intra-EU trade was analysed as broken down into exports and imports of goods, versus the global trade of individual Member States (including trade with non-EU partners). The outcome of the study shows that both transposition and conformity deficit levels are quite high. In turn, intra-EU trade in goods does not largely correspond to the extent of implementation of EU legislation, which may be caused by growing interest in non-EU partners without compromising EU presence.

Опыт Японии в области исследования и использования космического пространства: национальные и международно-правовые аспекты

Considering Japan’s experience in the exploration and use of outer space, the authors stress out that Japanese legislation on space activities is characterized by the presence of a number of normative legal acts, which is due to the rapid development of space technologies at the national level, as well as changes in state legal poli-cy in this area in recent decades. It is emphasized that, despite the long-standing suborbital flight programs of private operators, the Japanese legislator has not included them in the scope of national legislation on space activities. Reference is made to the fact that Japanese law provides for mandatory financial coverage of risks associated with the participation of private individuals in space activities. This requirement is particularly rele-vant in view of the dangers associated with the use of constellations of satellites, as well as small satellites and nanosatellites, which, with their rather limited external control capability, may cause collisions and disrupt the safety of space traffic. In conclusion, Japan’s leading role in regional space forums and in shaping the modern international legal concept of the exploration and use of outer space is emphasized.

STATE POLICY IN THE FIGHT AGAINST WOMEN'S CRIME AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN UZBEKISTAN DURING THE YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE (IN THE CASE OF THE REPUBLIC OF KARAKALPAKSTAN AND KHOREZM REGION)

Crime against women has become a global problem in the 21st century, like human trafficking, terrorism and drug trafficking, and is becoming one of the most common crimes in the world. For this reason, this crime has already gone out of the scope of national legislation and has become one of the urgent issues of international law. This article discusses state policy in the fight against women's crime and human trafficking in Uzbekistan during the years of independence in the case of the Republic of Karakalpakstan and Khorezm region.

Starania o ustawę. Studium jednego przypadku

Referring to the Act of September 27, 1973 on the old age pensions for artists and their families, the author of this paper has analysed the endeavours after political decisions, that took several years, and were indispensable to carry out the respective legislation. According to the Constitution an obligation arises to enact a law and extend the rights to those groups which were deprived of them (under the Article 60 and 65 of the Constitution — according to the previous numbering). Moreover, the standpoint of the Sejm, as expressed in its resolution, precludes a possibly different government assessment as to the necessity to enact law (in a form of an act). It has also been stated that when opposing the attempts of the administration to be commissioned to issue a decree that would regulat'd the whole problem, both the deputies and artists considered the latter to be within the scope of legislation and therefore the Sejm should ensure that appropriate measures be taken. The author has concluded by saying that the ”problem” of the act was neither of financial or social nature, nor the outcome of the state pensions policy, nor the manifestation of the state’s attitude towards culture. On the one hand the problem arose because the act was treated as an expedient of the policy towards artists, and on the other, because the latter referred to civil rights in this respect. According to the author there was the interdependence between the pace of endeavours after the act and the political climate at the time. He has also pointed to the interdependence between the standpoint of the party and the legal guarantees that the constitution is enforced and the Sejm holds a superior position. The author has stressed how important that' incident was both for democratizing the legislative function (i. e. the extension of the circle of legal subjects, the commitment of the public opinion, availing of those legal measures that are rich in democratic contents) and enriching the attitudes (in terms of subject-matter) towards the act on old age pensions, particularly the significant role the Sejm and artists played.

스위스와 독일의 지방자치단체의 입법참여에 관한 고찰

The purpose of this study is to compare the legal systems of Switzerland and Germany to expand the participation of local governments in legislation in Korea. Today, opinions and participation of local governments are expanding through the strengthening of local autonomy and the expansion of decentralization. Currently, in Korea, local governments can indirectly present their opinions, participate in public hearings, hearings, etc. through the Local Autonomy Act, the National Assembly Act, and the legislative operation regulations, and these procedures remain objects, not subjects. In order to improve this, it is necessary to analyze the legal systems of Switzerland and Germany, where local governments and local government associations are actively participating as legislators and related parties in relation to autonomy, and review their implications for Korea. In the case of Switzerland, Kenton is widely recognized for his participation in legislation. To this end, the federal constitution stipulates in detail. Legislative participation is also recognized by expanding diplomatic affairs, and strong legislative participation is promoted through the right to request a referendum, and similar to Germany, federal senators can be formed as representatives of Canton to participate in parliamentary legislation. Looking at the characteristics of the legislative participation systems of Swiss and German local governments, the following characteristics are shown. First, legislative participation in the central government and the National Assembly is very actively recognized. On the other hand, in Germany, local governments and associations of local governments generally recognize limited and passive participation in legislation in the National Assembly. However, as a supplement to this, local governments are actively realizing legislative participation in the National Assembly through the exercise of members of the Federal Council or the right to vote. In Switzerland and Germany, the scope of affairs related to local governments is widely recognized for the scope of legislation that local governments and local government councils can participate in, but legislative participation is not limited to legislation, but even zero, rules, and plans are recognized. In order for local governments and local government councils to actively present their opinions on local autonomy and improve the legal system, including legislative participation by local governments It is thought that allowing the heads of local governments at the same national level to participate in actual state legislation and policies as State Council members could be a way to expand the institutional guarantees of local governments guaranteed under the constitution.

Development of Labor Law method in the context of modern state and legal policy

The article substantiates the judgment that changes in the method of Labor Law in modern economic and political conditions are caused by two main factors - transformation of the content of Labor Law functions and expansion of the scope of labor legislation. In turn, the content of functions of Labor Law is a reflection of goals and tasks of labor legislation, the content of which also changes in accordance with state-legal policy, more focused on guaranteeing the labor rights of citizens. It is obvious that centralized, imperative component of Labor Law method is strengthening in order to provide the balance of interests not only of an employee and an employer, but also of the state. The development of the dispositive method can be associated with the expansion of the scope of Labor Law caused by the transition to a digital economy and the increasing complexity of the typology of labor relations.

State policy in the sphere of legal regulation of labor under conditions of digitalization of economy

Digitalization creates new challenges for public policy in the regulation of labor relations. The purpose of the article is to identify the most complex problems associated with the introduction of information and communication technologies in labor relations, and to outline ways of their legislative solution. For this purpose the analysis of Russian and foreign scientific literature, labor legislation, judicial practice, documents of the International Labor Organization, including those adopted in 2020 in response to threats to labor relations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is used. The inefficient use of already available electronic resources for the implementation of electronic case management is noted. The idea of the need to extend modern technology not only to the electronic exchange of documents, but also to their creation, storage, processing is supported. It is concluded that it is inexpedient to use an enhanced electronic signature of an employee in labor relations, in connection with which it is proposed to use special digital platforms supported by the state. It is proposed to gradually get rid of the practice of duplicating electronic and traditional “paper” records management. Relationships formed in the process of application of distant labor contain all the classical features of the employment relationship, which is facilitated by the employer’s use of modern means of control over the behavior of the employee. Digital technologies create new opportunities for the use of labor resources and make it possible to include new forms of employment in the scope of labor legislation, where to a greater or lesser degree there is economic, organizational dependence of the executor (employee) on the customer (employer), based on innovative means of control and management, as well as the dependant’s need for traditional means of social protection. Differentiation and decentralization of legal regulation is proposed to maintain the stability of labor relations.

Quo Vadis Acehnese Shari’a: A Critical Approach to the Construction and Scope of Islamic Legislation

The main purpose of implementing Shari’a is to benefit humanity in all areas of life in this worldly life and the hereafter. Based on this circumstance, this article critically sheds light on the existing implementation of Acehnese Shari’a by examining its scope and the existing qanun issued to seek that purpose. This article is grounded in a qualitative research query with a reflective approach. This study finds that the existing scope of the Acehnese Shari’a has not responded to the ideal of Shari`a, which is based on maqashid presumptions; dharuriyat, hajiah and tahsinat. The results of this study indicate that the application of Shari’a in Aceh is far from the goal of ideal Shari’a for its application does not cover every aspect of life, but is limited to only covers legal aspects (punishment). This study also shows that Acehnese Shari’a has not ruled over political affairs, governing system, health issues, economic matters, and defense issues. Therefore, the scope of Acehnese Shari`a implementation should be reconstructed in order to respond to the ideal Shari’a, which is universal and inclusive.[Tujuan utama penerapan syariat Islam adalah untuk mencapai kemaslahatan umat manusia dalam segala bidang kehidupan di dunia dan di akhirat. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, artikel ini mencari peta implementasi penerapan syariat Islam di Aceh antara idealisme dengan realitas kekinian. Metode penelitian dalam artikel ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan reflektif. Kajian ini mencerminkan cita-cita penerapan syariat Islam di Aceh dengan realitas yang terjadi, kemudian menyajikan roadmap agar syariat Islam dapat diterapkan di Aceh sesuai dengan ide dasarnya. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa penerapan syariat Islam di Aceh jauh dari tujuan syariat Islam karena syariat Islam tidak muncul kecuali di bidang hukum (hukuman), dan juga kajian ini menunjukan bahwa syariat Islam di Aceh belum menyentuh permasalah politik, pemerintahan, kesehatan, ekonomi, pertahanan, pendidikan, sosial budaya, dan lingkungan, Oleh karena itu, peta implementasi harus direkonstruksi untuk menerapkan syariat Islam yang sesuai dengan cita-cita penerapan syariat Islam di Aceh]

Implementation of international experience of legal regulation of public employees' labor rights

The paper covers analysis of the international experience of legal regulation of labor rights of public service employees. The influence of the standards of the International Labor Organization on the labor law of Ukraine has been studied. The scope of labor legislation on the regulation of state employees’ labor has been established. It has been concluded that ratification and compliance with international standards of labor organization is one of the promising areas of the country’s development and improving its international image as a democratic and socially oriented state.

Nurse practitioner job preference: A discrete choice experiment

BackgroundNurse practitioners play a critical role in improving the access to care and in meeting the needs for health care. However, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the average turnover rate of nurse practitioners was 10 % with associated total direct cost that ranged from $85,832 to $114,919 for each episode of turnover in the United States. Little is known about the job preference of nurse practitioners and the cost savings to an organization that provides jobs with characteristics attractive to nurse practitioners. ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to identify the preferred job characteristics that are associated with nurse practitioners' job choices; and to determine the extent to which nurse practitioners would need to be compensated for practicing without these characteristics. DesignA two-stage design using a mixed method approach. Setting(s)The state of Georgia in the United States. Participants2757 nurse practitioners who were actively licensed were invited to participate. Of the 412 participants, 372 actively employed in Georgia were included in the analysis. MethodsA 2-stage discrete choice experiment was designed. Stage-1 was a qualitative design using a focus group to identify nurse practitioners' preferred job characteristics. Stage-2 was a quantitative design using survey distribution and analysis. A mixed logit model was used for ranking nurse practitioners' preferred job characteristics and the extent to which they would need to be compensated. ResultsOn average nurse practitioners were 47.4 years of age; the majority were female (90 %), white (75.3 %), and educated at the master's level (88.7 %). Participants did not value teams that were not very cohesive (β = −1.50); administration that was not very responsive and supportive (β = −1.04); being supervised by a physician (β = −0.58); not having their own panel of patients (β = −0.42); and not billing under their own National Provider Identifier (β = −0.18). Participants would need an increase in annual income of USD$21,780 for practicing in a not very cohesive team; USD$15,280 for practicing with a not very responsive administration; and USD$21,450 for being supervised by a physician. ConclusionsA cohesive, responsive, and supportive working environment and being able to practice independently are important characteristics for nurse practitioners when choosing a job. Healthcare managers should provide a workplace culture that reflects these preferred job characteristics to attract and retain nurse practitioners. Policymakers should consider reforming the scope of practice legislation to promote the independent practice of nurse practitioners.

On the Language of the Special Part of the Modern Criminal Law

The article concentrates on the study of the language of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation as a component of legislative technique. It outlines some debatable issues of using the language when constructing dispositions of the articles of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The author draws attention to some terminological ambiguity in modern criminal law. The legislator uses terms, the content of which is not always uniformly rendered in practice, which entails various penal consequences for the perpetrators of crimes. For example, the same actions of a person can be considered in some cases as a completed crime, in others as an attempted crime. The practice of applying Art. 126 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and Art. 138.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the ways of possible elimination of emerging contradictions in the practice of applying the law are indicated. Attention is drawn to the presence of different terms used to refer to the same concepts, as well as the opposite situation - when one term means different things. Corpus delicti with administrative prejudice is given as an example. It is important to strive for the unification of terms that mean the same thing, to exclude situations where the same term in law has a different meaning. The article envestigates the issue of excessive definition of terms in the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation the content of which is clear to the law enforcer. Also, redundance in the definition of terms the content of which is specified in the sectoral legislation is indicated. Such definitions increase the scope of legislation, but have no practical meaning. The author comes to the conclusion that the language of the Special Part of the Criminal Law should be understandable. The terms used by the legislator must be clear and have a well-established common understanding. The brevity and length of the articles of the Special Part of the Criminal Law should not damage their accuracy and clarity.

Understanding Subordinate Animal Welfare Legislation in Australia: Assembling the Regulations and Codes of Practice.

Simple SummaryIn Australia, animal welfare protection is a state and territory responsibility. Having eight separate state and territories results in eight separate animal welfare legal frameworks, all which contain a primary piece of legislation and secondary or subordinate forms of legislation. These subordinate forms are known as regulations and codes of practice and are lower-ranking laws that are given powers under the primary legislation. Subordinate laws contain crucial details that govern everyday human–animal interactions and industry practices, for example companion animals used for breeding. There has been no review of the animal welfare-focused subordinate laws in Australia. This study has assembled each animal welfare regulation and code of practice in force in Australia as a reference for practitioners working in specific animal-related areas to easily identify relevant documents pertaining to welfare and understand the nature of their responsibilities in terms of compliance with these documents. A total of 201 pieces of subordinate legislation were identified and presented through the following utility categories of animals: companion, production, wild/exotic, entertainment. The benefits of housing the information identified from this study on an online database for animal industries to use are discussed.The state-based approach to regulating animal welfare in Australia is thought to create national dis-uniformity in that each state and territory legislates and operates inconsistently. The animal welfare legal framework in each of the eight Australian jurisdictions is made up of a primary statute and subordinate legislation, where subordinate animal welfare legislation, in the forms of regulations and codes of practices, are lower-ranking laws that are given power under the jurisdiction’s specific animal welfare statute. Since a review of animal welfare statutes identified broad patterns between the jurisdictions, this study is intended to be complementary by collating the subordinate legislation to provide a more comprehensive understanding of animal welfare laws in Australia. Using targeted search strategies stemming from the eight enabling animal welfare statutes, this study identified 201 pieces of subordinate legislation in force between 28 March 2022 and 5 April 2022. The scope of subordinate legislation is depicted through the following utility categories of animals: companion, production, wild/exotic, entertainment. Whilst subordinate legislation differed between the jurisdictions, it was common for similar welfare concerns or topic areas to be protected in higher-order legislation (statutes or regulations). Additionally, many jurisdictions were found to have similar shortcomings, all which likely could be managed through a mechanism of national data collection.
