This request for a preliminary ruling is the third such request made to the Court in the context of a group action brought before the United Kingdom courts by the Test Claimants in the Franked Investment Income Group Litigation (‘the Test Claimants’) – companies belonging to the British American Tobacco group and the Aegis group – concerning the tax treatment of dividends paid to parent companies established in the United Kingdom by subsidiaries established abroad. 2.

  • Legislative Drafting and the Rule of Law Ronan Cormacain Institute Of
    Legislative Drafting and the Rule of Law Ronan Cormacain Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London PhD Thesis 2017 1 Declaration The work presented in this thesis is my own. Dedication I dedicate this thesis to my long-suffering family who have endured many years of a father and husband too busy with work to spend time with his family. 2 Abstract The rule of law is a cornerstone of the UK legal order, it states that we are all subject to, and ruled in accordance with, the law. Under Bingham’s analysis, the rule of law is made up of eight separate elements. Element one has four aspects, these are that legislation ought to be accessible, intelligible, clear and predictable. Legislative drafting means turning policy ideas into legislation fit for the statute book – it is literally writing the law. It is best described as phronesis, the subjective application of wisdom. The hypothesis of this thesis is that legislative drafting principles can be derived from element one of Bingham’s definition of the rule of law, and that these drafting principles facilitate the drafting of legislation in accordance with the rule of law. The methodology is deductive reasoning, meaning that each aspect of element one is examined, and from each aspect, drafting principles are derived. The principles therefore flow directly from the rule of law. In Chapter 2 the rule of law requirement of accessibility is dissected. Accessibility means that citizens have access to the law. This leads to the conclusions that legislation ought to be drafted so as to be available (citizens can physically read it), navigable (citizens can find their way around it, particularly to the portion which directly affects them) and inclusive (containing all the relevant legal information).
