	Roy Jenkins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Roy Jenkins - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Roy Harris Jenkins, Baron Jenkins of Hillhead, OM, PC (November 11, 1920 – January 5, 2003) was a British politician and a prominent Labour MP in the 1960s and 1970s, and founding member of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
		He was the son of an National Union of Mineworkers official, Arthur Jenkins, who was wrongly imprisoned during the 1926 General Strike for his supposed involvement in a riot, and later a MP, who was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Clement Attlee and briefly a minister in the 1945 government.
		Jenkins is the author of 19 books, including a biography of Gladstone (1995), which won the 1995 Whitbread Award for Biography, and a much-acclaimed biography of Winston Churchill (2001).

		Jenkins contends that the commission abused its discretion by, in essence, nonsuiting Webb's claim sua sponte.
		Jenkins argues that the commission traditionally relies upon the nonsuit statute, Code 8.01-380, for the authority to dismiss a claim without prejudice but that its ability to grant such a dismissal is contingent upon a timely motion from the party who will benefit from the nonsuit.
		Thus, Commission Rule 1.12 expressly permits the commission, in the exercise of its discretion, to act sua sponte to dismiss a claim, with or without prejudice, as a means of enforcing its rules and the provisions of the Act.

	Jenkins v. McKeithen, C.C.T. No. 548, 1969.SCT.96 (http://www.versuslaw.com]
		The stated purpose of this Commission is "the investigation and findings of facts relating to violations or possible violations of criminal laws of the state of Louisiana or of the United States arising out of or in connection with matters in the field of labor-management relations.
		The limitation of the Commission to criminal matters is further reinforced by the provision of the Act allowing the Commission, at the request of the Governor, to assign its investigatory forces to the state police to assist the latter in their investigatory activities.
		Appellant alleged that the Commission was an "executive trial agency" whose function was to conduct public trials designed to find appellant and others guilty of violations of criminal laws, allegedly for the purpose of injuring him and destroying the labor union of which he was a member.

	East Cleveland Firefighters, Local 500 v. Civil Service Commission of East Cleveland, (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Therefore, because Jenkins had not served the requisite one-year term as Deputy Fire Chief, he was not eligible under the express terms of Section 123.08(a) of the Administrative Code to take the Fire Chief examination in December 1997 and, therefore, he was not eligible for certification or subsequent promotion to the rank of Fire Chief.
		Although Jenkins was not eligible in 1997 to test for or hold the position of Fire Chief, the judge was not in a position to grant the Union's requests for relief in mandamus to require either the removal of Jenkins or a new examination.
		We note, however, that the Commission did not challenge the Union's beneficial interest or its standing in the subject matter of this action, and it acceded in its amended answer that a controversy existed regarding the interpretation of the statutes, charter provisions, ordinances, and rules and regulations.

	A Deeper Insight Into Article 169 - 3.1. Internal coordination within the Commission
		The ECJ has granted the Commission general power and liberty to organize its offices to suit the tasks entrusted to it and to assign the staff available in the light of such tasks.
		The Commission was originally designed under a hierarchical structure on the German and French models, the Division being the basic unit for the organization of work.
		In sum, it can be concluded that although "the Commission is, understandably, reluctant to be regarded as part of the problem, its record is vulnerable to criticism and until now it has escaped the tide of management reforms that has swept through national governments".

		The Commission’s terms of reference requested “an alternative to the present system”, with the obligation to “observe the requirement for broad proportionality, the need for stable government, an extension of voter choice and the maintenance of a link between MPs and geographical constituencies”.
		Professor David Butler writes “I was asked by the Jenkins Commission to consult a few academic students of elections to see if they could reach consensus on some technical questions about systems of proportional representation” (page 1 of acdmcs01.pdf).

		The Commission shall be free to consider and recommend any appropriate system or combination of systems in recommending an alternative to the present system for Parliamentary elections to be put before the people in the Government's referendum.
		Within the Commission's own electoral systems context it is impossible not to use the results for parties as the principal criterion for measuring 'unfairness'.
		But it is one which, apart from anything else, inhibits a Commission appointed by a Labour government and presided over by a Liberal Democrat from recommending a solution which at the last election might have left the Conservatives with less than half of their proportional entitlement.

	Changing the British Voting System? The Jenkins Commission Report (Research Note 14 1998-99)
		The Independent Commission on the Voting System, chaired by Lord Jenkins, a Liberal Democrat peer, reported on 29 October 1998.(1) The five-member commission, announced on 1 December 1997, was the product of a pact between the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats prior to the 1997 British elections.
		Thirdly, the commission believed that MPs successfully carried out two of their functions: representing their constituencies and serving as the pool from which most ministers are drawn.
		The commission was thus left with one or other of the mixed systems as the only way to meet its admittedly contradictory requirements.
