RETROSPECTIVE EFFECT OF NEW PROCEDURAL LAW ON PENDING CASES
By Muhammad Shafiq Civil Judge Ist Class, Rahimyarkhan.
The general proposition of law containing the presumption against retrospective applicability of law has been
clearly stated by careful writers and judges. Halsbury's Laws of England explains the meaning of the
expression `retrospective statute` in Vol.36 at page 423 as follows: "the Courts regard as retrospective any
statute which operates on case or facts coming into existence before its commencement"
2. There is no fundamental difference between retrospective and ex post facto law. The former expression is
used in respect of civil matters and the latter in respect of criminal matters which by their nature are more
serious.
3. The people do not mind changes in law, if only the procedure is altered without altering the substance of the
law. True, it is not easy to draw a line between substantive and procedural law, but the task is not impossible if
the essential difference is kept in mind. According to Salmonds Jurisprudence, 12th Edition of 1966 at page
128. "The law of procedure may be defined as that branch of the law which governs the process of litigation .
All the reside is substantive law, and relates, not to the process of litigation, but to its purposes and subject
matter." "If in the process any existing rights are affected or the giving of retroactive operation causes
inconvenience or injustice."
4. What is a vested right? According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "vested" means "clothed, robed,
dressed especially in ecclesiastical vestments. which under particular circumstances will be protected from
legislative interference (unless it is clearly intended). But as it is a right which vests upon equities, it has
reasonable limits and restrictions.
5. Although the Legislature can legislate prospectively and retrospectively, such power is subject to certain
constitutional and judicially recognized restrictions. According to the canons of construction, every statute
including amendatory statutes is prima facie prospective, based on the principle of nova constitutio futuris
formam imponere debet, non praeteritis (which means 'a new law ought to regulate what is to follow, not the
past'). As per Osborn: Concise Law Dictionary, new law shall not apply retrospectively unless it is given
retrospective effect either expressly or by necessary implication. In other words, a statute is not to be applied
retrospectively in the absence of express enactment or necessary intendment, especially where the statute is to
affect vested rights, past and closed transactions or facts or events that have already occurred.(PLD 1963 SC
322) wherein a five member bench of the august Supreme court of Pakistan held as under:- "The Court must
lean against giving a statute retrospective operation on the presumption that the Legislature does not intend
what is unjust. Even if two interpretations are equally possible, the one that saves vested rights would be
adopted in the interest of justice, specially where we are dealing with a taxing statute". Reliance is placed upon
the Molasses Trading case PLD 1970 SC 514. "It is a well-settled principle of interpretation that there is a
strong presumption against the retrospectively of a legislation which touches or destroys the vested rights of
the parties. No doubt the Legislature is competent to give retrospective effect to an Act and can also take away
the vested rights of the parties, but to provide for such consequences, the Legislature must use the words which
are clear, unambiguous and are not capable of any other interpretation or such interpretation follows as a
necessary implication from the words used in the enactment. Therefore, while construing a legislation which
has been given retrospective effect and interferes with the vested rights.
