It is a great privilege for me to give this lecture in honour of Lord Mackenzie-Stuart. I frequently had the privilege of appearing before him as counsel when he was judge at the European Court of Justice and also from 1984 to 1988 when he was President of the Court. It was on his departure from the Court in 1988 that I went to the Court as advocate general.Lord Mackenzie-Stuart, who has long been interested in the influence of European Community law on public law in the United Kingdom, had recently published a paper entitled “Recent developments in English administrative law—the impact of Europe?” In returning to that theme this evening I should like to update the story of developments in English administrative law where there may be a European impact. I will also venture, perhaps over-ambitiously, to look briefly at the new constitutional reforms, and to see if there may be a European impact there too.

Between December 1982 and October 1983 samples of human body fat were taken during routine necropsies carried out on 187 persons aged over 5 years and four infants aged under 4 months. Comparison of the results of analysis with those from the previous studies in 1976-1977, and earlier, shows a continuing decline in residues of p,p'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethone (p,p'-DDT) and dieldrin (HEOD) and a reduction in the amounts of p,p'dichlorodiphenyldichloroethene (p,p'-DDE, a metabolite of p,p'-DDT] and hexachlorobenzene. The concentrations of other compounds were similar to those observed in the previous studies. The results show that the amounts of organochlorine pesticides and polychlorobiphenyl compounds contained in human fat samples from residents in the UK compare favourably with data obtained in other countries.

There have been remarkable developments in some areas of discrimination law in the United Kingdom over recent years along with a notable lack of development in other areas with both relative success or failure (in terms of extending the protection of the law) often being determined by the appropriate comparator which can be used in presenting a claim for discrimination and/or the influence and constraints of rules set down in UK and European Community Legislation. It is contended that a lack of uniformity of approach to these issues both hinders and helps the equality cause. It hinders by presenting uncertainty about the appropriate comparator in these cases and helps where the law recognises uniformity of approach in determining comparators across differing kinds of equality cases is both illadvised and inappropriate. It is contended in this article that reform of the areas of law where protection is weak or badly-structured is best served by borrowing from approaches in the better protected areas of UK discrimination law or from strategies utilised in other jurisdictions. In the interests of brevity and consistency of argument and analysis it has been necessary to refrain from considering this issue as it relates to equal pay.
