Dates that shaped the law

The questions are about the law and the cases themselves. Most cover England and Wales, and the rest cover Scotland, Northern Ireland, the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe, saying so where they do. Laws change, so the linked sources are the place to check where things stand now. Nothing here is legal advice.
