If there was one thing I could change about the British legal system, it would be its legal code.
No, in all seriousness I would change Article 34 (b)(I)(ii) which states that all women are equal to men. Feminism is a growing problem in the UK and across the globe. This article merely encourages women to get enthused about their supposed "rights".

You'd also have to ammend several other things in order to remove equality for women. Also, if the gov was to do this and remain in power at the next election they'd have to remove votes for women as well.
i'd make it all 'denning law', he had the right idea! made it up as he went along!!

He single handidly extended contract syllabi. He did not have the right idea
It's a simple truth, anything Denning said which is still law is only still law because it hasn't been appealed to the Lords yet
I'd get rid of the tax you have to pay when you move house. I think its unnecessary!
I think i'd probably put sexuality along side sex, disability and race as things that it is illegal to discriminate against for.
Although not sure if thats already been done.

Might be an idea to make disability protection the same as sex and race whilst you're at it then

Yeah, that too.
Right, I have a coherent plan to overhaul the legal system. If there are any members of the Department for Constitutional Affairs reading, you might want to take notes.
Basically we should abolish the current fiasco that masquerades as a legal system. That would include abolishing Parliament, the Courts and reducing the Monarch to a merely formal role to please tourists - the last one may have been done already.
Having done this we should appoint a wise man to live in a cave. Anyone who wants to know what the law is would simply have to go to the wise man, who would immediately tell him what the law was. To enforce the law, we could use the superhuman abilities of Superman, who is conveniently making a return this Summer to a cinema near you. Upon the 'expiry' of the aforesaid wise man, we would simply appoint another.
This would make the legal system much fairer, less costly, and much more relevant to everyday life. It would also make legal study much easier - when faced with a law exam question all one would simply have to write would be "The law is whatever the wise man in the cave declares it to be". Any person marking such a script would have no choice but to award 100% to such an answer, thereby giving the clever candidate a starred First.
Oh, and just to clarify, second guessing of what the wise man may decide is absolutely not allowed - any infringement of this rule would be punishable by a public frazzling by heat vision.
Any thoughts? Or is the plan as flawless as it appears prima facie to be?

Imagine the headline on the Mail-
"Entire court system abolished- it's political correctness gone mad!"

If man in the cave was superman (and lives forever = no need for a replacement) that would make your system even more cost effective 
TommehR
But that may create an unacceptable constitutional position in which the executive is acting as both the legislature and the judiciary. Separation of powers, Montesquieu and all that jazz. No doubt Superman would be capable of wielding such absolute power but the chaps over at Liberty (and other like-minded pressure groups) would have a field day, if only to have something to complain about.
And, for that matter, when was the last time you saw superman serving a warrent or giving a caution? I'd have his evidence thrown out in three seconds flat (at which point he would zap me with his heat vision, but oh well).
