The worst and most expensive debacle to ever occur in the history of subordinate legislation around the English-speaking world?
A mish-mash of old and some new built on a philosophical foundation of retribution for any perceived breach of the provisions where not just intention is ruled out as a defence, but possibly also that of an honest and reasonable mistake?
All wrapped up in the abrogation of basic legal rights ordinarily pertaining in a civilised society, not by Act of Parliament, but by Executive decisions.
