Alinea 164 Parket bij de Hoge Raad 18 september 2001

Een alinea uit Parket bij de Hoge Raad 18 september 2001, ECLI:NL:PHR:2001:AB1471.

"Apart from the provisions of the interpretation of statutes, there is at common law a prima facie rule of construction that a statute should not be interpreted retrospectively so as to impair an existing right or obligation unless that result is unavoidable on the language used. A statute is retrospective if it takes away or impairs a vested right acquired under existing laws, or creates a new obligation, or imposes a new duty, or attaches a new disability, in regard to events already past. There is, however, said to be an exception in the case of a statute which is purely procedural, because no person has a vested right in any particular course of procedure, but only a right to prosecute or defend a suit according to the rules for the conduct of an action for the time being presented."
