OCR AS Sources of Law 23rd May

I'm panicking! EU law goes straight in one ear and out the other for me no matter how much I revise it and i know that's the most likely to come up. My teacher said there's a good chance there'll be a question on rules of language or statutory presumptions which will be okay..really hoping it won't be a combination of EU law and Law reform though as i know neither!

Good luck for tomorrow everyone!

Okay so here goes, I predict that Delegated Legislation will come up.
I've beening looking at past papers and I believe that tomorrows paper will have the following layout:
(a) Act of Parliament
(b) Typical question like which is the most suitable type or body (something along those lines)
(c) i- Three types
ii- Advantages and Disadvantages
But keep in mind that this is based on my own research.
Goodluck peoples.

can someone please explain the difference between consolidating and codifying law?

Codification of the law

The Commission believes that the law would be more accessible to the citizen, and easier for the courts to understand and apply, if it were presented as a series of statutory codes. As a preliminary step, to prepare the ground, we are working on a number of projects that aim to simplify aspects of the criminal law.

In a nutshell, put all of criminal law in one document.

Consolidation of Statutes

Consolidation brings together under one Act all the existing statutory provisions previously located in several different Acts. The law itself remains unchanged, but those who use it can now find it all in one place.

Different provisions from different acts are regrouped into one Act.

Taken from the Law Commission website too, so it's got to be right

Consolidation:
-There are lots of different bits to laws and changes are made to laws everywhere which when put together makes up one big law.
E.g. law on sentencing under 17 year olds has been changed 10 times but for a judge to understand the final point on it he has to look at the previous laws - consolidation means that all these similar laws are put together.

Codification:
-All laws on similar things are brought together into one source.
E.g. rape, murder, assault are all known as criminal law.

Statutory Interpretation and EU Law.

Wasn't it Judicial Precedent??

Sorry my bad, I'm to focused on tomorrow's exam haha, yes it was Judicial Precedent

does anyone know what came up in Sources of law Jan 2013???

You scared me there for a minute. That's why I don't think Statutory Interpretation will come up in the exam tomorrow.

what do you think will come up?
