It is a themed edition entitled: Energy: Contemporary Legal Issues in the Oil and Gas Sector. This special edition contains papers from the conference proceedings of the University of Buckingham Centre for Extractive Energy Studies (UBCEES) as well as contributions from members of the Advisory Board. The papers are structured under the following sub-themes: 1. Law and Governance 2. Risks, Change and Uncertainty 3. Current Developments in Law and Emergent Legal Thinking 4. Perspectives of Justice and Legal Governance These are themes that Lord Denning identified with in his long career as a progressive reformer. He passionately canvassed for the law to keep abreast with societal changes. In The Way of an Iconoclast' he called for the Law to be saved from stagnation and decay.2 The evolving global energy industry also requires iconoclastic legal thinking as it navigates its way through interesting and volatile times. The edition begins with an illuminating comment by LaMaster and Hammerson on the Brexit referendum. Their article discusses the potential risks and uncertainties that the Brexit referendum has created in the UK Oil and Gas industry. They debate whether the referendum will necessitate a radical departure from the current legal framework. They argue that a second referendum in the form of a Scottish independence referendum may be the catalyst that intensifies further uncertainty in the sector. Holland's article is also developed on the theme of risks, change and uncertainty in the energy sector. He considers whether the decrease in global oil prices has any impact on decommissioning securities. It explores the impact that the current market conditions has had on request for data 1 Lord Denning, The Way of An Iconoclast (1959) 5(2) S.P.T.L. 77. 2 Ibid, 89.
