Representation of the People in UK Law

Leading Cases
  • Fox v Stirk and Bristol Electoral Registration Officer
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 12 Mayo 1970

    The second principle is that temporary presence at an address does not make a man a resident there. The third principle is that temporary absence does not deprive a person of his residence. If he happens to be away for a holiday or away for the weekend or in hospital, he does not lose his residence on that account.

  • R (on the application of Chester) v Secretary of State for Justice
    • Supreme Court
    • 16 Octubre 2013

    But there are limits to this process, particularly where the matter has been already to a Grand Chamber once or, even more so, as in this case, twice. It would have then to involve some truly fundamental principle of our law or some most egregious oversight or misunderstanding before it could be appropriate for this Court to contemplate an outright refusal to follow Strasbourg authority at the Grand Chamber level.

  • Conservative and Unionist Central Office v Burrell
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 10 Diciembre 1981

    I infer that by "unincorporated association" in this context Parliament meant two or more persons bound together for one or more common purposes, not being business purposes, by mutual undertakings, each having mutual duties and obligations, in an organisation which has rules which identify in whom control of it and its funds rests and upon what terms and which can be joined or left at will. The bond of union between the members of an unincorporated association has to be contractual.

  • R (Animal Defenders International) v Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport
    • Queen's Bench Division (Administrative Court)
    • 04 Diciembre 2006

    In summary, the necessity for restrictions on political/social advocacy broadcast advertising outside elections periods has been convincingly shown. It is necessary to protect the rights of others through preventing undue access to the broadcast media based on willingness and ability to pay. At root it supports the soundness of the framework for democratic public debate. The broadcast media remain pervasive and potent throughout the period between elections.

  • Ahmed v Kennedy; Ullah v Pagel
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 12 Diciembre 2002

    Flexibility and discretion are all very well but there is merit too in certainty, not least in the field of electoral challenge. It is undesirable to have someone serving in a public office with doubts surrounding the legitimacy of his election.

  • R (Lewis) v Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council (No 1)
    • Queen's Bench Division (Administrative Court)
    • 20 Diciembre 2007

    In the context of decisions reached by a council committee, the notional observer is a person cognisant of the practicalities of local government. He does not take it amiss that councillors have previously expressed views on matters which arise for decision. He does not take it amiss that councillors have previously expressed views on matters which arise for decision.

  • R (Island Farm Development Ltd) v Bridgend County Borough Council
    • Queen's Bench Division (Administrative Court)
    • 25 Agosto 2006

    The reality is that Councillors must be trusted to abide by the rules which the law lays down, namely that, whatever their views, they must approach their decision-making with an open mind in the sense that they must have regard to all material considerations and be prepared to change their views if persuaded that they should.
