  • Red Tape Robin Ellison Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-42695-4 — Red Tape Robin Ellison Frontmatter More Information RED TAPE Red Tape tells the sometimes astonishing story of the making of laws, both good and bad, the recent explosion in rule making and the failure of repeated attempts to rationalise the statute books – even governments themselves are concerned about the increasing number and complexity of our laws. Society requires the rule of law, but the rule of too much law means that the general public faces frustrating excesses created by overzeal- ous regulators and lawmakers. Robin Ellison reveals the failure of repeated attempts to limit the number and complexity of new laws, and the expan- sion of regulators. He challenges the legislature to introduce fewer yet bet- ter laws and regulators by encouraging lawmakers to adopt practices that improve the eiciency of the law and the lives of everyone. Too much law leads to frustration for all – Red Tape is a long overdue exposé of our legal system for practitioners and consumers alike. robin ellison is a solicitor, a consultant with an international law irm, Pinsent Masons, where he specialises in the development of pensions and related inancial services products for insurers and other providers, and is the Cass Business School Professor of Pensions Law and Economics, City, University of London. He acts for a number of governments and govern- ment agencies and has been an adviser to the House of Commons Select Committee on Work and Pensions. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org
