Abstract:     
When on the rare occasion retrospective legislation enters the statute book it is denounced from all angles as being illegal, unconstitutional, undemocratic, and contrary to natural justice and to the rule of law. The article considers the criticisms levelled at retrospective legislation, paying particular attention to legislation designed to frustrate tax avoidance.
