Mr. 3000
|
IMDB rating: 5.70 Plot: Stan Ross was a baseball superstar who turned his back on the game years ago when he finally hit 3,000 hits. Years later, he’s now a successful, self-made entrepreneur whose many businesses revolve around his title: Mr. 3000. But a clerical error has proven that Stan is just short three hits of his spectacular hit record. Now, with time on his side and the potential to be inducted in the Baseball Hall of Fame, Stan must return back to the game and get back his title. But things have changed with age, and as Stan finds out, it’s not too easy to get back into the game when he hasn’t played for years, and he’s nearing 50. |

Retrospective application of the law is not against human rights rules UK judge, is this a bad precedent?
"On Thursday, Mr Justice Kenneth Parker, sitting in London, ruled the backdating of demands was "in the relevant circumstances proportionate" and did not breach human rights."
So will this leave the door open for other new laws to be back dated?

If the law is right now, it was right then.

If they help Labour politically or financially then yes they will.
Nothing is too low or too corrupt for these socialists to stoop.

The anti-avoidance legislation brought in by the 2008 Finance Act made life more difficult for UK residents to evade tax on income and gains made offshore. It has been the law that British residents pay tax on their investments anywhere in the world since 1828. There’s no element of backdating in the tax payable, only in the methods used to reveal it.
This spurious case claimed that coming up with new methods for catching criminals is unfair on those who committed their crimes before the law was passed, and that this breached their "human rights". It’s surprising that the Daily Telegraph and Feudal Gazette supports the tax dodgers when it has consistently campaigned against human rights legislation. The judge quite rightly ruled that the argument was spurious - perhaps one day one will do the same to the bunch of unctuous hypocrites at the Telegraph.

It is not the first such law, the War Crimes Act 1991 was retrospective (and the precedent) and the government are still doing it.
The Drug Trafficking Act 1994 also had retrospective elements and one clause in the Banking Act 2009 reads:
