JUSTIN HAMER and PETER NIAS of McDermott, Will and Emery take a look at power and forward tax agreements, and reach a surprising conclusion concerning the national minimum wage.

THE ART OF government is the art of the exercise of power. Power resides in Parliament and the Crown. The Government wields that power in the name of the monarch.

While the Crown can theoretically exercise power as it chooses, those bodies created by the Crown to operate and dispense its power must operate within the constraints of the dispensation that they hold.
