    I don’t understand “Statute does not bind the crown,” Please explain.

      In UK law the monarch is the head of the courts as well as the head of the country.

      The final step in the creation of new statute is the monarch’s consent.

      This is what Donald Trump is claiming in the US – he is claiming that he has absolute power. We shall see!

      OK

    The ACCA refers to their rules as bye-laws.

    So I’ve looked it up quickly and it seems professional regulations are also bye-laws.

    Bye-laws do not HAVE to be issued by a local authority, it can also be a “corporation” or a “society”.

    Hi Mike!
    Thanks for a great lecture – I really enjoy listening to you, it is making this subject so much easier for me.

    I am a little bit confused about absolute liability and statute. Is there anyway you could explain this in a bit more detail or give another example?

    Thanks!

    Good sir,

    “ Unless perfectly clear, statute is not to create an offence of absolute liability”

    Could you please rephrase and re-elaborate on this ?

    How are you, good sir,

    I wanted to ask,

    What do you mean by minutes obtained from the reports of committee ?

    And by Hansard, do you mean the transcripts.

    Thanks

    I think that you must have misheard me – it’s most improbable that I would have used language like you’re suggesting … and, if I did, it must have been because the context demanded it

    Those 13 weeks seem to cause problems – maybe they should delegate some of their holiday entitlement out so that they can work better 😉

    Surely I didn’t say “shot” or “shot” or “shut”

    None of those words do I find acceptable!
