question about european union law?
A (imaginary) directive was due to be implemented by 21st december 2008, it seeked to give futher rights to women in employment to claim equal pay for work of equal value of men. The former government (in uk), sought to introduce appropriate legislation by introducing before Parliament the Equal Value Bill 2007. However, the bill was defeated at second reading in the house of commons and not adopted. A new parliament is elected in early 2009 and opposes the implementation of the directive.
my question is that even though the implementation date passed in 21st december 2008, will the new government be liable for not implementing the directive even though they came in to power just after the implementation date had passed???
Yes. But think about it. To the EU it is still the same government i.e. the UK government.
It won’t be the politicians who pay the price but the country.
