  • 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

  • Isle of Man Social Security and Pensions Legislation Contents
    Isle of Man Social Security and Pensions Legislation Contents The Social Security Legislation files, subject to a few exceptions, do not reproduce provisions superseded at or before its latest supplement. Generally the text represents those provisions which are in force on the day the file is accessed, or were due to come into force very shortly afterwards. Provisions and amendments which have been repealed or revoked or otherwise superseded, and provisions which simply amend an earlier measure without special savings, are not normally reproduced. Amendments are explained in footnotes. The new provision or new words are enclosed in square brackets with a figure referring to the footnote, so that amendments can be clearly seen. After a row of dots a footnote will explain the deletion. In an Act there may be a list of the Act's commencement dates at the end of the document The work aims to reflect all textual amendments which have come into force. It does not however purport to reflect all blanket amendments (e.g., amendments required by Transfer of Functions Orders, etc.), or amendments to references in Statutory Instruments to provisions which are affected by a consolidation of an Act or of another Statutory Instrument. We aim to upload updated files as soon after any changes effected by new provisions commence. We aim to do this within 8 weeks from the commencement of the amendments. New provisions which have been passed or made but which have not yet come into force may also be included in a supplement where, for example, there is a need for practitioners to consult them for implementation or planning purposes.
