what is the difference between codes of practice and legislation what do they each mean and how does the E.U influence UK legislation

Codes of Practice are usually a set of regulations and quidelines that apply only to people within an organisation or government department. Violations of Codes of Practice are not always necessarily punishable by law but punitive action may be taken by the organisation.\n\nLegislation, on the other hand, is enshrined in the judicial system and applies to all citizens. Violations are punishable by law, by the state.\n\nI'm not entirely sure what obligations the UK has to the EU in relation to legislation but if the UN system is anything to go by, a member state should legislate any treaties it ratifies. And no treaties in the EU will be entered into unless all member states approve it.

Contact Trading Standards or Citizens Advice and find out if the code is voluntary or not for the appliance. It may be that for that appliance there is no legal requirement, or there may be some other get out clause.

Ok, first off Great Britain and United Kingdom are interchangeable, as far as I know there is little difference, except maybe that Great Britain is not inclusive of Northern Ireland whereas Great Britain is. \n\nEngland is no more of a country than Wales or Scotland, collectively they make up the nation of Great Britain. Like counties they have certain governing bodies that deal only with themselves but all are beholden to British law and parliament. The confusion mostly comes from the fact that in their history they were once seperate countries, much like Britain and Ireland are seperate countries today (with the exception of Northern Ireland) but today they are all considered of the same country.

I believe you mean Memorandum of Association and how it applies to the formation of a company, which is common in U.K. jurisdictions.  Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a document that is to define the expectations, terms and conditions of the working relationship between two parties. It is frequently the predecessor to a formal agreement.

The Constitution of the United Kingdom is an area of uncodified law, consisting of both written and unwritten sources. There is no technical difference between ordinary statutes and law considered "constitutional law". Therefore the Parliament of the United Kingdom can perform "constitutional reform" simply by passing Acts of Parliament and thus has the power to change or abolish any written or unwritten element of the constitution. The constitution is based on the concept of all sovereignty ultimately belonging to Parliament (Parliamentary sovereignty), so the concept of entrenchment cannot exist. The lack of a central written constitutional document explaining the fundamental principles of the state and relationship between its institutions and between the people leads some constitutionalists to regard the United Kingdom as having "no (formal) constitution". The phrase "unwritten constitution" is sometimes used, despite the fact that the UK constitution incorporates many written sources, statutory law being considered the most important source of the constitution. But the case remains that the constitution relies far more on unwritten constitutional conventions than virtually every other liberal democratic constitution.\n\nThe informal nature of the constitution has been conducive to a lack of the concept of "constitution government" or "constitutionalism" in the United Kingdom. The "government" (i.e. the executive) is drawn from the legislature, Parliament, since the UK has a Parliamentary system of government. The doctrine of "limited government", central in all written constitutions, is not prominent in the UK constitution, nor is separation of powers or formal "checks and balances". Since the government is said to be "fused" with Parliament, and virtually every government has a majority, governments have no formal restraint on their legislative power. This is only broken if government Members of Parliament vote against a government bill, which due to a strong whip system had, until 2005, not occurred since 1986. The phrase elective dictatorship was introduced in 1976 to highlight the enormous potential power of government afforded by the constitution. In practice, some principles and elements of the constitution, such as the rule of law, are so ancient and ingrained in the UK's political culture that they would be extremely difficult to abolish. Parliamentary sovereignty and of the rule of law have been widely considered the most important principles of the constitution since the nineteenth century, and attempts to substantially circumvent them would likely be met with backlash by the electorate or monarch.\n\nSince entrenched "constitutional law" does not exist, the UK constitution is flexible, as opposed to rigid constitutions such as the Constitution of the United States. It is often spoken of as being "organic" by political scientists, that is, it has been "evolving" over time from its medieval origins. In theory, its flexibility makes it responsive to political and social change, especially through political principles expressed in conventions. Despite the tradition of freedom of speech and other rights in the UK, until recently there was no modern statute or document that attempted to codify the rights of citizens in the UK, common law precedents being the main source of "rights". This has been remedied in recent years, with the incorporation of some important written sources, such as European Union law and the European Convention on Human Rights, which formally grants citizens specific negative rights that were previously lacking in the legal system. These sources are enacted in the European Communities Act 1972 and Human Rights Act 1998, respectively. Some argue that these developments, and the Labour government's reforms from 1997, have improved the constitution, des

International laws and treaties apply when they are adopted (ratified) by the nations. Until then, they are just recommendations.

Similar systems are used on other countries as well.\n\nWhere there a multiple possible interpretations, the court should choose the one that makes sense given other laws. This could be to avoid absurdity, or to avoid conflict with other higher laws.
