Book excerpt: The Government announced planned reform to public bodies on 14 October 2010, updated proposals in March 2011. The overarching question of whether a body and its functions needed to be carried out at all was addressed and if the answer was yes, then the Department subjected each of its bodies to three further tests: does it perform a technical function; do its activities require political impartiality?; and does it need to act independently to establish facts? A body would remain if it met at least on of these three tests. This paper now sets out for consultation the department's proposals for reform of a number of public bodies listed in the Public Bodies Bill

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This consultation paper sets out the Government's proposals for reform of the law on defamation, aiming to achieve balance between protection of freedom of speech and the protection of reputation. The Government wants to ensure that the threat of libel proceedings is not used to frustrate robust scientific and academic debate, or to impede responsible investigative journalism and the valuable work undertaken by nongovernmental organisations. Issues included in the draft Bill are as follows: a new requirement that a statement must have caused substantial harm in order for it to be defamatory; a new statutory defence of responsible publication on matters of public interest; a statutory defence of truth (replacing the current common law defence of justification); a statutory defence of honest opinion (replacing the current common law defence of fair/honest comment); provisions updating and extending the circumstances in which the defences of absolute and qualified privilege are available; introduction of a single publication rule to prevent an action being brought in relation to publication of the same material by the same publisher after a one year limitation period has passed; action to address libel tourism by ensuring a court will not accept jurisdiction unless satisfied that England and Wales is clearly the most appropriate place to bring an action against someone who is not domiciled in the UK or an EU Member State; removal of the presumption in favour of jury trial, so that the judge would have a discretion to order jury trial where it is in the interests of justice.

Book Synopsis Draft Consumer Rights Bill by : Great Britain. Parliament
Download or read book Draft Consumer Rights Bill written by Great Britain. Parliament and published by Stationery Office/Tso. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measures to enhance consumer rights and make them easier to understand, which will also boost the economy by £4 billion over the next decade, are outlined in this draft Consumer Rights Bill. The proposals streamline overlapping and complicated areas from eight pieces of legislation into one consumer Bill. They also introduce new rights for consumers and businesses. Currently consumers spend more than 59 million hours a year dealing with goods and services problems. The Bill provides clarity in areas such as digital content, services and goods. Under the draft Bill consumers will have the right to: get some money back after one failed repair of faulty goods (or one faulty replacement); demand that substandard services are redone or failing that get a price reduction; get a repair or a replacement of faulty digital content such as film and music downloads, online games and e-books. The draft Bill also proposes a set 30 day time period for when consumers can return faulty goods and get a full refund. New measures in the draft Bill that will benefit businesses include: a new requirement for enforcers such as Trading Standards Officers to give reasonable notice to businesses when carrying out routine inspections, reducing costs to business; faster and lower cost remedies for businesses who have been disadvantaged from breaches in competition law; a reduction in on going training costs - businesses will spend less time understanding their obligations or considering different scenarios when training staff.

Book Synopsis Future oversight of administrative justice by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Public Administration Select Committee
Download or read book Future oversight of administrative justice written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Public Administration Select Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-03-08 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Administrative justice" includes the procedures used by public authorities for making decisions in relation to individual people, the law that regulates decision-making, and the systems (such as the various tribunals and ombudsmen) that enable people to challenge these decisions. There are around 650,000 administrative justice hearings each year - more than three times the number of criminal justice hearings - and it is estimated that resolving citizen's complaints costs central government over £500 million per year. The functions of the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council (AJTC) include keeping the whole administrative system under review and considering ways to make the system accessible, fair and efficient. The Government proposes to abolish the AJTC using powers in the Public Bodies Act 2011, and to give its functions to the Ministry of Justice. It is expected to bring forward the necessary secondary legislation later this year. The Committee finds that the Government's rationale for winding up the AJTC is questionable, that the Ministry of Justice may not have either the resources or the expertise to take on its functions and doubts the level of cost savings that the Government estimates will be achieved. The Committee also recommends that the House of Commons Justice Committee take its findings from this inquiry into account when it considers the Government's proposed legislation.

Book Synopsis Banking Reform by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Treasury Committee
Download or read book Banking Reform written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Treasury Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report follows on from the Committee's report on the crisis at Northern Rock (5th report, HC 56-I, ISBN 9780215038388) and the lessons to be learned by the Treasury, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and the Bank of England (the Tripartite authorities). It examines legislative and practical changes that are needed. The overall case for legislative action in the field of banking regulation is compelling but the Government's preparations for new legislation may not be in place by late February 2009. The Committee recommends that the legislation provides: greater clarity about the nature and objective of "heightened supervision"; an explicit statutory power for the Bank of England to recommend to the FSA that a firm be made subject to the new Special Resolution Regime; a clear institutional separation between the executive functions of the Bank and the non-executive role of the Court of the Bank of England. Practical measures should include: the strengthening FSA's capacity to regulate; the Tripartite authorities must develop a communications strategy to secure public and market confidence in their new powers; and depositor protection arrangements must be developed which will function smoothly and effectively in the event of a bank failure. The Committee makes recommendations on "heightened supervision" and the Special Resolution Regime, identifies priorities for reform of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme to protect depositors, and sets out proposals for strengthening the Bank of England. The new Tripartite Standing Committee must assume a central and continuing role in the financial stability work of the authorities at all time.

Download or read book Department of Energy and Climate Change: Electricity market Reform: Consultation on Proposals for Implementation - Cm. 8706 written by Great Britain: Department of Energy and Climate Change and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This consultation document seeks views on proposals for implementing the key mechanisms under electricity market reform (EMR) - the Contracts for Difference (CfDs), the Capacity Market, and associated institutional and delivery arrangements. A package of draft secondary legislation is included to help illustrate the proposals. EMR is the Government's response to the challenges facing the electricity sector: a fifth of 2011 capacity has to close over the next ten years; the need to transform the generation mix to respond to climate change and to meet legally-binding carbon and renewable targets; the expectation that electricity demand will continue to increase over the coming decades. An estimated £110 billion investment is required over the next 10 years. CfDs will provide long-term revenue stabilisation to low-carbon plant, allowing investment to come forward at a lower cost of capital. The Capacity Market will provide a regular retainer payment to reliable forms of capacity (both demand and supply side), in return for such capacity being available when electricity supply is being squeezed. The National Grid will be the delivery body for EMR. The key mechanisms will be supported by: carbon price floor, a tax underpinning the price of carbon emissions in the UK; emissions performance standard, a regulatory backstop to the amount of CO2 emissions from new fossil-fuel power stations; action to promote electricity demand reduction; Ofgem's measures to improve wholesale market liquidity. The Energy Bill currently progressing through Parliament will introduce the powers to implement EMR.
