@LinacreAlumni thank you for starting this draft. I had some help to find some sources since this had almost no citations to it. I'm far from an expert on this sort of topic, so I'm just adding these sources here for anyone who wants to further develop this article.

   The article notes: "A rather belated attempt to cash in on the recent Jaws-mania comes from a 26-year-old London barrister, Richard Macrory, inventor of a new game called "Man-Eater" in which players must swim for shore whilst being harassed by a plastic shark. The swimmers, too, are plastic and have detatchable legs—these are removed as the shark attacks!"

   The article notes: "Man-Eater! Chase game (Footloose Productions - £ 3.99) Inventors : Richard Macrory & Nick Young Age : 8 - family Players : 2-3 Playing time : 30 mins JAWS Another spin -off of the Jaws cult, Man-Eater! is a very attractively presented chase game where one player takes on the role of a man-eating killer shark attempting to devour the four swimmers which are moved by the other player / players whose objective is to reach the shore in as much of one piece as possible. Movement is on a colourful board depicting a rocky coastline and divided into 227 numbered hexagons. At each turn, the player controlling the shark secretly writes down the number of the hex to which he intends to move (this may be the same hex as he is currently on or it may be up to four hexes away), the player or players controlling the swimmers moves them each a distance of up to 2 hexes , and the player controlling the shark reveals his move and places the shark piece accordingly. If the shark lands on the same hex as a swimmer, the swimmer is swallowed whole. If the shark lands on a hex adjacent to that of a swimmer, the swimmer loses a leg and continues to move only one hex per turn. Swimmers losing both legs merely drift one hex in the direction of the shore. Dice are used if a swimmer lands on a hex depicting a Red Herring which offers one of twelve instructions, half of which are favourable and half unfavourable."

   The article notes: "Fifteen years ago Richard Macrory was an impecunious young lawyer working for Friends of the Earth, then embroiled in what was Britain’s longest-running public inquiry. The 77-day hearing, a clash between the nuclear industry and the fledgling environmental movement, was about plans to build a reprocessing plant at Windscale, now called Sellafield. Earlier this year, as construction of the Sellafield plant finished, the same affable and engagingly boyish figure was appointed Britain’s first professor of environmental law, a matter of undisguised professional pride."

   The article notes: "Richard Macrory has now followed Sir Patrick as Merchant Ivory's Chairman - has inherited us, one might say. I am happy to state the son has also inherited his father's business acumen, taste for scholarship, and - dare I be so rash as to write this in 1993? - proper English gentlemanliness."

   The article notes: "The bill includes some of the recommendations of the 2006 report on regulatory sanctions carried out by Professor Richard Macrory, of University College London. This found that current fines were not high enough to deter businesses from breaking regulations - for example, the penalty incurred for dumping dangerous chemicals or failing to protect workers may be lower than the savings made by cutting corners on safety practices. Prof Macrory recommended standardised sentencing guidelines for convictions when offences came to court, statutory notices requiring businesses to comply with the law and a proportionate range of penalties."

    The review notes: "I was really looking forward to reading this book and, on balance, it did not disappoint. I was particularly interested as to what the authors would conclude in relation to the book’s sub-title: Does EU environmental law provide the EU’s citizens with a high level of protection? ... As noted above, at times I felt that some of the chapters were overoptimistic. However, the final chapter, from Ludwig Krämer himself, is enough to sober even the most optimistic reader."

    The article notes: "Professor Richard Macrory of University College London has reviewed the current system for the Cabinet Office and found it flawed. He said regulators like the Health & Safety Executive and the Environment Agency were over-reliant on criminal prosecutions that often do not deliver the sanction and change in behaviour by the offending business that the regulator wishes to achieve. So instead Prof Macrory has recommended the creation of a set of tools."

    The abstract notes: "This book is a testament to the invaluable and distinctive contribution that Macrory has made to environmental law scholarship over the years. It contains a selection of the author’s work, ranging across public lectures, previously published academic articles and book chapters, and reports commissioned by government and NGOs. The work spans four decades of intellectual endeavour, beginning in 1979 with Macrory’s first published legal article, and culminating in a revised version of the 2007 Brodies Environment Lecture on reforming regulatory sanctions.

    The review notes: "In conclusion this is an important contribution to a discussion that may well be nearing some form of conclusion. Certainly, this report combines solid research, a serious desire to achieve a system that meets the needs of environmental justice, and an acute awareness of the practical and technical problems involved in creating a coherent new jurisdiction where so much incoherence currently exists. Inevitably, this report will disappoint some but it shows a way forward and provides a sound and workable basis for modernising the system for achieving environmental justice."
