In contrast, the list of Wales-only laws is (or used to be) maintained by one French woman at a Welsh university:

"But any queries may well be referred to Marie Navarro, the editor and chief researcher of Wales Legislation Online.

Like everyone in Wales, the judges use this website when they need to find out whether the law in Wales on a particular topic is different from English law.

The database is not run by the judiciary, by the Welsh Assembly Government or by one of the commercial publishers that pride themselves on keeping their subscribers up to date with English law.

It was set up in 1999 by Cardiff University Law School, and is run by Miss Navarro, a French lawyer who came to Wales on a European scholarship 13 years ago and decided to stay."
