Secondary Legislation - House of Lords
This document provides information about secondary legislation (subordinate legislation) in the UK. It begins by explaining that secondary legislation includes statutory instruments, orders, and regulations that are made under powers granted by Acts of Parliament. It then notes that in 2009, 2008 statutory instruments were made, compared to only 27 Acts of Parliament. The document outlines the different types of secondary legislation, including negative instruments that automatically become law, and affirmative instruments that must be approved by both Houses of Parliament. It provides details on the role of committees like the Delegated Powers Committee and Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee in examining statutory instruments. In closing, it describes the process by which statutory instruments are laid before and considered by Parliament.

Constitutional Privacy and Data Protection in the EU
This document analyzes the historical development of privacy and data protection rights in the constitutions of EU member states. It finds that while privacy rights relating to the home and correspondence date back to the early 19th century, general privacy and data protection rights are more recent additions, emerging in the late 20th century. Currently, general privacy rights are recognized in most EU constitutions, while data protection rights are recognized in about half. Data protection rights also tend to be more specific than general privacy rights. The document concludes that while privacy and data protection rights have developed together, privacy rights remain more commonly adopted at the constitutional level.
The 'Black Spider Memos' Case: An Introduction to Constitutional Law
Slides to accompany a lecture given at the Cambridge Sixth Form Law Conference in March 2017. The lecture offers a brief introduction to UK Constitutional Law, using the 'Black Spider Memos' case — concerning freedom of information requests in relation to correspondence between Prince Charles and Government Ministers — to illustrate some fundamental points about the UK constitution and about Constitutional Law as a subject. The lecture focusses on the UK Supreme Court's decision in the case, and on the reliance placed by the Justices on two fundamental constitutional principles: the rule of law and the sovereignty of Parliament.
The Limits of Judicial Authority
Professor Mark Elliott presented on the limits of judicial authority. He discussed how the judiciary makes law and reviews executive action, but is limited by the legislature. He examined how courts recognize certain statutes as "constitutional" and resist their implied repeal. The courts also protect embedded constitutional values and some impervious values that are resistant to legislation. Elliott outlined debates around how parliamentary sovereignty, the rule of law, and separation of powers interact, and that their content and weight depends on context.

The English Arbitration Act 1996: Strengths and Limitations. Nick Marsh
The English Arbitration Act 1996 marked a radical change in English arbitration law by consolidating existing statutes into a single, logical framework and reducing court intervention. It was influenced by the UNCITRAL Model Law but differs in some respects. While increasing efficiency and party autonomy, some argue it did not go far enough in limiting challenges and appeals. Overall, the Act has been successful in modernizing English arbitration law, though aspects like confidentiality and arbitrability could still be clarified.
The English Arbitration Act 1996: Strengths and Limitations. Nick Marsh
The English Arbitration Act 1996 marked a radical change in English arbitration law by consolidating existing statutes into a comprehensive statutory framework. It aims to facilitate fair, speedy and cost-effective dispute resolution through party autonomy and limited court intervention. While generally conforming to the UNCITRAL Model Law, the Act differs in some respects, such as including provisions specific to English law and having more prescriptive language. Critics argue it does not sufficiently reduce court intervention through appeal processes and jurisdiction challenges. Supporters view it as a success, and English courts as generally taking a pro-arbitration approach in their interpretation and application of the Act.

Law-Exchange.co.uk Shared Resource
Delegated legislation consists of laws created under Parliament's authority but not by Parliament itself, including statutory instruments, bylaws, and orders in council. Bylaws are local laws made by local authorities, while statutory instruments are introduced by government ministers to implement enabling acts. Orders in council are approved by the Queen and Privy Council, mainly to address emergencies or give effect to EU directives. Delegated legislation is necessary because Parliament lacks time and expertise to handle all details, and flexibility is needed for local or technical issues or emergencies. However, it is criticized as undemocratic with limited parliamentary scrutiny.

2) If confirmed as a hybrid bill, it proceeds to second reading for debate on its principle. It is then committed to a select committee to consider any petitions against the bill.
3) Individuals affected can deposit petitions within a deadline, following rules for private bill petitions. Petitions state objections and relief sought, to present the case to the select committee.

An Evaluation of Compulsory Licences (Patents), in England & Wales and the WTO
This document provides a table of contents and introduction for a dissertation evaluating compulsory licenses for patents in England and Wales and within the World Trade Organization (WTO). The introduction outlines that the dissertation will examine the historical development of patent law in the UK and tensions between private patent rights and public interests. It will assess justifications for the patent system and evaluate compulsory licensing's role domestically and internationally. Case studies of Brazil and South Africa will illustrate how developed countries like the US have responded to using compulsory licensing to address health crises from diseases like HIV/AIDS in developing nations. The dissertation will also examine the social responsibilities of the pharmaceutical industry and propose an alternative justification for compulsory licensing based on human rights.
