"Codification and law reform are a matter of practical politics. Law reform and codification is above all a political process.  The Minister, Cabinet and the Parliament need to be convinced that such reform is worth doing and worth the legislative and executive resources to do it.  That too was the telling lesson to be drawn from the 19th century codification experience.  I think that law reform bodies, by themselves, lack that necessary ingredient."
