Did you know... that in 2015 the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom reconsidered the position of penalties in English law almost exactly 101 years after the previous decision restating the law?

Makdessi decision

The Supreme Court handed down the decision in Makdessi yesterday, which obviously will recast the contents of this article. I will read it and make the changes when I have the chance, and hopefully also include some of the commentary on the decision. --Legis (talk - contribs) 14:05, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The historical discussion in Makdessi' should be treated with some care, and might be worth contrasting with the account given in Meagher, Gummow & Lehane's Equity: Doctrine and Remedies (5th ed, 2015, LexisNexis) and of course the Andrews v ANZ decision. This is particularly so with the Court's treatment of the breach requirement. It might be worth keeping an eye on the upcoming Pacciocco decision here: http://www.hcourt.gov.au/cases/case_m219-2015. --Jason246xy (talk) 22:45, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
