]]> Comment on Good old fashioned penny pinching by Feliciano http://absolvitor.com/2010/08/05/good-old-fashioned-penny-pinching/#comment-1062 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:31:27 +0000 http://absolvitor.com/?p=565#comment-1062 Does this mean that you surpopt an amoral government that makes no value judgments and takes no opinion of how the people should conduct themselves? I’ve never heard of any government like that before.Lately I’ve been thinking that our tax reform should be directed at taxing consumption more than income, since income is an easily manipulated variable. The present system, with its maze of rules and exceptions, favors the wealthy who can afford to shift assets and pay advisors.

]]> Comment on More Sheridan shenanigans by Andrew http://absolvitor.com/2012/02/01/more-sheridan-shenanigans/#comment-1061 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:57:20 +0000 http://absolvitor.com/?p=1401#comment-1061 The simple fact – as far as I’m aware – is that the statute (s15 of the 2005 Act) requires all those in Tommy Sheridan’s position to be subject to a tag in order to monitor the obligatory curfew. Doesn’t make sense to depart from the law just because the Daily Record is camping out across the street.

Don’t worry – I’m sure he’s loving it really. A bigger cross for him to bear.

Lord Reed’s comments on grounds of judicial review were insightful and compellingly argued, and his development of the law of standing to bring cases against public bodies was greatly needed and long overdue. Lord Hope led the court, yes, but Lord Reed went into more depth about the common law (as opposed to human rights and devolution) issues, and ultimately I think the case will be remembered among lawyers not as “the one where the greedy insurance company lost”, but as “the one that made it possible for little people to challenge the government”.
