What about some of the ridiculous land law formulas? Like the passing of covenenants in equity and at law. Crazy. You could very easily just gather all that up into a statute. Although I do like case law, it's much more interesting.

I would probably repeal the ban on foxhunting (though again it’s a minor issue, it’s just one that pops into my head) and I would probably repeal a lot of ‘hate speech’ legislation too. If it counts, I would also repeal the 28 days without charge thing.
