  • A Coach and Horses Driven Through the Statute Book in Wales? Rhodri Williams QC the Theory Government of Wales Act 2006
    A Coach and Horses Driven through the Statute Book in Wales? Rhodri Williams QC The Theory Government of Wales Act 2006 • 156 English and Welsh texts of legislation • (1)The English and Welsh texts of— • (a)any Assembly Measure or Act of the Assembly which is in both English and Welsh when it is enacted, or • (b)any subordinate legislation which is in both English and Welsh when it is made, • are to be treated for all purposes as being of equal standing. • (1A)Subsection (1) does not apply to any legislation to which Part 2 of the Legislation (Wales) Act 2019 applies (but section 5 of that Act makes corresponding provision in relation to legislation to which that Part applies). The Theory (cont) Legislation (Wales) Act 2019 • 5 Equal status of Welsh and English language texts • (1)This section applies where an [Act of Senedd Cymru] is enacted, or a Welsh subordinate instrument is made, in Welsh and English. • (2)The Welsh language text and the English language text have equal status for all purposes. The Practice R (Driver)-v-Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC [2020] EWHC 2071 (Admin) • Paragraph 65 of the judgment • “The Council also submitted that because the position of the word "only" does not matter in the English text, then the position of the words "yn unig" in the Welsh text does not matter either. This is a bold submission to make; in my judgment it is misplaced where the Welsh text has equal standing with the English text; and I consider it to be wrong.
