Does anyone know how long (or if there is a legal minimum requirement) an ex-dividend date is before the pay date. I've been looking at Glaxo and the average number of days between the ex-dividend date and the payment date is 59 days (using late 8 dividend dates). When GSK pay quarterly dividends, that's quite tight!
Lenth of ex-dividend period?

There are rules, but I can't remember them. I have seen them online. Have a search using the london stock exchange website or using the keywords "listing rules" or the "yellow book"
