  • IRC V. Willoughby
    HOUSE OF LORDS Lord Nolan Lord Mustill Lord Hoffmann Lord Clyde Lord Hutton OPINIONS OF THE LORDS OF APPEAL FOR JUDGMENT IN THE CAUSE COMMISSIONERS OF INLAND REVENUE (APPELLANTS) v. WILLOUGHBY (RESPONDENT) (FIRST APPEAL) COMMISSIONERS OF INLAND REVENUE (APPELLANTS) v. WILLOUGHBY (RESPONDENT) (SECOND APPEAL) (CONSOLIDATED APPEALS) ON 10 JULY 1997 LORD NOLAN My Lords, In this appeal the Commissioners of Inland Revenue seek to uphold five assessments to income tax, four of which were made on the respondent Professor Willoughby for the years of assessment 1987/8 to 1990/1 inclusive and the fifth of which was made on his wife, the respondent Mrs. Willoughby, for the year of assessment 1990/1. The assessment upon Professor Willoughby for 1987/8 was made under section 478 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1970. The remaining assessments were made under section 739 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988, which replaced and re-enacted section 478 of the Act of 1970 without material alteration. The origin of these sections is to be found in section 18 of the Finance Act 1936, a section whose provisions, either in their original or in their re-enacted form, have been considered by your Lordships' House on previous occasions. It will be convenient, and sufficient for all relevant purposes, if as a general rule I refer to these provisions in the form in which they appear in the Act of 1988. Section 739 is the first section in Chapter III of Part XVII of the Act, which is concerned with the transfer of assets abroad.

  • Analysis Survey of the Powers
    ANALYSIS SURVEY OF THE POWERS RETURNING FROM THE EU THAT INTERSECT WITH THE DEVOLUTION SETTLEMENT IN SCOTLAND 1 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 3 AGRICULTURE 10 TRANSPORT 24 JUSTICE 28 ENVIRONMENT 60 ENERGY 91 HEALTH 96 EDUCATION 103 MISCELLANEOUS 104 LIST OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 111 ANNEX – FOOD AND FEED LAW ANALYSIS PAPER 113 2 INTRODUCTION The UK’s exit from the EU is arguably the most significant constitutional development to affect the UK since 1945. Other changes including accession to the European Economic Community in 1972, the development of devolution to Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales in the 1990s, the adoption of the Human Rights Act in 1998 and the creation of the Supreme Court in 2005 were important constitutional changes most of which affected the lives of many millions of people living across the UK. However the UK’s exit from the EU has so many significant aspects including economic, financial, legal, social, and cultural, which will affect many people living in the EU in some ways which are known and understood and in other ways which are currently unpredictable. Development of legislatures in the UK The Parliament of the United Kingdom is the product of the Acts of Union of 1706 and 1707. These united the Parliaments of the kingdoms of England (of which Wales was then part) and Scotland into the Parliament of the kingdom of Great Britain.
