    The Convention is to be construed as an autonomous text, without regard to any special rules of English law, and the word "intentionally" in Article 2(1) must be given its natural and ordinary meaning.

  • Pickering v Liverpool Daily Post and Others
    • House of Lords
    • 31 Enero 1991

    But in order to fall within the principle which Lord Diplock had in contemplation it must, in my opinion, appear upon the true construction of the legislation in question that the intention was to confer on members of the protected class a cause of action sounding in damages occasioned by the breach.

  • Kenneth Allison Ltd and Others v A E Limehouse & Company
    • House of Lords
    • 17 Octubre 1991

    Like my noble and learned friend, Lord Bridge of Harwich, I am satisfied that Mr. Vallance's first submission must fail. Prima facie, the process server must hand the relevant document to the person upon whom it has to be served. The only concession to practicality is that, if that person will not accept the document, the process server may tell him what the document contains and leave it with him or near him (see Ord. 65, r. 2 and the notes to that rule in the Supreme Court Practice).

  • Steven Sumpter v The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
    • Queen's Bench Division (Administrative Court)
    • 22 Julio 2014

    In respect of this ground, Mr Westgate's submissions founder on the evidence. It is unfortunate that the terms of the 2012 proposals were not clearer. It is unfortunate that the 2013 Consultation did not take place prior to the adoption of the Moving around criteria in the 2013 Regulations. And the Secretary of State was entitled to come to the same view, having considered all of the options, the evidence and the consultation responses, with an open mind.
