In the UK, after the Burma oil case, retrospective law making (i.e a statute law that try's to overrule a previous decision by the courts) was found to be in breach of the rule of law and held to be illegal.

in this case, the UK house of lords held that the burma oil company was entitled to compensation from the devastating damage that was caused to their company by british soldiers. the UK government, obviously upset at the high compensation payment being demanded of them, passed a law (the war compensations act) saying that war repayments are not to be paid to companies/damage that related to coil, oil and natural gas. consequently the government tried not to pay the money burma oil was awarded. the war compensations act was then held to be a breach of the rule of law and an invalid statute. burma oil was awarded full compensation.
