how many instances of v are there in:
over the ages words to similar effect have been incanted like a mantra. for example, chief justice gibbs in mallet v mallet (1984) 156 clr 605 at 609, said that the courts cannot put fetters on the discretionary power which the parliament has left largely unfettered.. to like effect lord justice moylan recently in work v gray [2017] ewca civ 270 at [81] spoke of section 25 of the act of 1973 giving the court an “unfettered discretion”. i could cite countless other examples.
in my address to you i will argue that this is to worship a false god. i will argue that most so-called discretionary powers are in fact nothing of the sort but are in fact commands to render a qualitative or value judgment. i will further argue that where a true discretion exists the freedom of manoeuvre, the margin of appreciation if you like, is much more limited than is generally supposed.
many so-called discretionary rights are in fact non-existent. consider the ubiquitous “discretionary charge” added to your bill by every bar and restaurant. apart from larry david in curb your enthusiasm can you think of anyone who would ever refuse to pay that charge?
