Monday, 23 February 2015, is the 799 years and 8 month anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta. This non-anniversary is being used by the government to host The Global Law Summit “a unique opportunity to explore what the future holds for global business and the rule of law”.
Or, as The Rt Hon David Cameron MP, Prime Minister, puts it on the Summit website:
“To mark 800 years since Magna Carta, I am pleased that London will welcome global leaders in both business and the law to discuss the issues that are shaping the agenda legally, commercially and socially over the next generation. I am delighted to support the Global Law Summit – it is yet more evidence that Britain continues to lead the way in promoting free enterprise, economic growth, and the rule of law around the world.”
