Retroactivity is damaging because it violates the principle of fairness and undermines legal certainty. If laws can change after a contract is formed, nobody can rely on what the law says today. It sends a message that the laws that form the basis of an agreement today could be retrospectively changed tomorrow. This Bill erodes trust in the legal system. It creates unclear implications for decision-making and disrupts property and contract rights. Should not this be challenged? That is the basis of my amendment. Regardless of the Bill’s specific contents or intentions, its retroactive nature raises significant legal concerns and marks a clear departure from the well-established way in which law is enacted in this country.
