Update to 'Statute' section.[edit]

I don't feel confident enough to try editing the page myself, but a news item today would warrant an extra line or two at the end of the Statute section.

I suggest a truncated extract from the opening paragraphs of today's BBC News - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx88g1v8en7o

"A cyclist who seriously injured a pedestrian after crashing into her "at great speed" on a footpath has been jailed for eight months. Lisa Wade, 46, was sentenced at York Crown Court under the Victorian-era legislation of causing bodily harm by wanton and furious driving. Victim Ruth Kitching, 64, was knocked over and needed hip replacement surgery after the crash on 24 March last year. Wade, of Tudor Road in York, admitted the charge and was said to be "genuinely remorseful"." Fitzcarraldon't (talk) 08:08, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
