I would imagine that at that age free time would be golden. It is obvious that they are well-off and that they could sustain their lifestyles if they were to retire. Yet they do not!

When watching this excellent doco I couldn't help feeling that this is the Court one would expect in the UK given the country's history, culture and the role of the law down through the centuries. To establish and maintain the Court's separation and independence from the political agencies of government is a signal achievement. The individuals constituting the Court are impressive experts in the law but warm individuals with down-to-earth personalities. This judicial body seems to reflect some of the best features of what it is to be British. I could almost hear Elgar, Purcell and Parry being played in the background.

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom is the supreme court in all matters under English and Welsh law, Northern Ireland law and Scottish civil law. It is the court of last resort and the highest appellate court in the United Kingdom, although the High Court of Justiciary remains the court of last resort for criminal law in Scotland. The Supreme Court also has jurisdiction to resolve disputes relating to devolution in the United Kingdom and concerning the legal powers of the three devolved governments (in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) or laws made by the devolved legislatures. The Supreme Court was established by Part 3 of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 and started work on 1 October 2009. It assumed the judicial functions of the House of Lords, which had been exercised by the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary (commonly called "Law Lords"), the 12 judges appointed as members of the House of Lords to carry out its judicial business. Its jurisdiction over devolution matters had previously been exercised by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Because of the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty, the Supreme Court is much more limited in its powers of judicial review than the constitutional or supreme courts of some other countries. It cannot overturn any primary legislation made by Parliament. However, it can overturn secondary legislation if, for example, that legislation is found to be ultra vires to the powers in primary legislation allowing it to be made. Further, under section 4 of the Human Rights Act 1998, the Supreme Court, like some other courts in the United Kingdom, may make a declaration of incompatibility, indicating that it believes that the legislation subject to the declaration is incompatible with one of the rights in the European Convention on Human Rights. Such a declaration can apply to primary or secondary legislation. The legislation is not overturned by the declaration, and neither Parliament nor the government is required to agree with any such declaration. However, if they do accept a declaration, ministers can exercise powers under section 10 of the act to amend the legislation by statutory instrument to remove the incompatibility or ask Parliament to amend the legislation. The current President of the Supreme Court is Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury, and its Deputy President is Baroness Hale of Richmond.

Steve MetalHammer As Sovereign the Queen is above the law. We simply trust her to behave herself! If she failed to do this I doubt the people would tolerate it - well maybe a bit of shoplifting perhaps but robbing banks might finish off the monarchy! She cannot be summoned to appear in a court (the law is enacted in her name). Remember the Paul Burrell case when as we was about to spill embarrassing evidence in court (he had been accused of theft of some of Diana's things), the Queen suddenly recalled a vital piece of 'evidence' that exonerated him! She took no oath in court when recalling this 'evidence', just sent word and carried on waving at the plebs!
@andrewchidwick9 жыл бұрын
I don't think that would be true even if there really was such an entity as "God". Her position above the law is a constitutional one and I agree it is very odd to consider it. However, the law is enacted in her name which would mean if she committed a crime and could be prosecuted we would have Regina (the sovereign) vs Regina!
@Generalscorpio9 жыл бұрын
+Steve MetalHammer Officially H.M. Queen is the highest judge in the land, she has to sign off on everything that parliament produces so she gets to see all laws even if she just skim reads them and she brings many of them into official standing during the state opening of parliament. Furthermore I believe a judge is not to be tried by a judge of lesser standing and possibly not even of equal standing. So if one of the judges in this documentary were arrested it would either have to be one of the others or the Queen herself who oversaw the case and conducted the cross-examinations. However I do not believe she could be tried, officially, however she was born in the century in which monarchies were disappearing left, right and centre, (German, Austro-Hungarian, Russian, Turkish, Italian are the well known ones but a load of lesser known monarchies from eastern Europe, Asia and Africa also ended), she may be aware of the precarious nature of monarchical systems and how easily they can topple if people are sufficiently pissed off. However I'm not so sure our current Queen would ever be in that position and this links in with something mentioned by other commentators on this thread, namely God. From what I've heard and read she takes her commitment to God and Christianity very seriously, she's not just a Christian but also head of the Church of England and upon being anointed with holy water at her coronation she officially became recognised by the Church of England as God's representative on Earth. At that moment she believes (and I understand this to be a very serious belief) that she entered into a binding covenant with God to uphold his law and his church. Now whether you believe in God or not (personally I'm an atheist) is rather by-the-by, the fact is that she believes and takes that seriously, I therefore presume that she would do everything in her power to avoid situations where she would end up in court.

Mika Hell the queen is only bound by convention to approve the bills passed by parliament, if they wished to remove her she would have to agree to it, if she didn't that would bring up a huge conflict between law and convention. Judges are treated the same so if a supreme justice committed a crime they'd come before the old bailey like anyone else. Insofar as the queen is concerned she cannot personally commit a crime though her agents and companies can. The queen, for instance, needs no passport as all passports are requests for entry in her name. She can't be personally prosecuted because all prosecutions are made in her name, as power was devolved from the monarchs absolute power into the organs of state. If anyone were to prosecute the queen it would be heard in the court of parliament i expect. Big if.

There is a definite uniform effect at play regarding the use of judicial robes. There must be a price in not availing oneself of that effect..

As an American, I found this documentary to be extremely interesting and informative. I was especially interested in learning how the members of the UK Supreme Court are chosen. We're told that an independent group of lawyers and professionals choose the members of the court, but I would like to know more about that. For example, how are the members of the independent group chosen? And is it possible to remove a member of the court? And if so, how? And when was the last time that happened?

parliament can vote / petition for royal assent to remove a justice, most likely if they’d broken the law, but it’s never happened
@Wyrmwould2 жыл бұрын
@@Ben-bl5rc So Parliament has a say in their removal, but not their selection? Did I understand that correctly? And I'm assuming from your earlier answer that this appointment is for life except in the cases of retirement or removal. Can Parliament reduce their salary? Can Parliament restrict their jurisdiction? I'm guessing the number of justices is determined by statute; if so, I assume the number can be reduced and expanded. I'm really interested in learning more about the UK Supreme Court, especially since my faith in my own has been shaken as of late.

@@Wyrmwould justices are selected by a independent judiciary committee and while technically confirmed by the executive (lord chancellor and pm) it’s more of a formality, while technically parliament can completely change or even get rid of the supreme court due to parliamentary sovereignty and our uncodified constitution, there v unlikely to overrule the 2005 cra act which established the court, meaning no, they currently can’t change salaries, attempt to influence decisions etc

@@Wyrmwould however more recent reforms have shown the power of the parliament in that the courts can of course only rule on laws they have passed, so for example the tory government is attempting to repeal the human rights act to prevent them from declaring future legislation as incompatible with it. also, they can use ouster clauses in legislation to prevent rulings on certain topics eg the dacopa 2022 had one meaning the sc cannot now rule on the proroguing of parliament, and the judicial review and courts act 2022 disallows the higher courts to review appeals made in asylum seekers cases which are handled in the upper tribunal

It may also pose an issue for misuse and be used as a way to undermine Lord Hopes sound mind. Because the nature of this choice of words can be linked to a taboo subject. I am also perplexed that Lord Hope agreed to such wording, for the Lords themselves scrutinize the law by being awkward. Should they not then lead by example at all times?

Lack of ethnic minorities??? I thought judges should be chosen because of their knowledge and abilities, not because of their nationality. It's not racist not to have one person who belongs in a minority in the 12 Justices, if these 12 are the best in their field. It would be racist to choose an Asian, for example, instead of a White (supposing the White is better), just because you want Ethnic minorities represented.

They need to be capable but they also need to honestly represent our country. If the judges are as diverse as the country they represent we can hope that they will give more fair judgments or judgments that are more representative of the kind of people who live in our country. However capability comes first which is why they are so un-diverse. We still have a huge issue with women and ethnic minorities making the jump from solicitor to barrister and barrister to judge.

Yes, here in Australia we have the British Justice System too. BUT...the UK Supreme Court is not the highest court there. You can appeal to the Privy Council and failing that you can petition the Monarch. The former used not very often and the latter...its the right of any of her Majesty's subjects to plead an injustice. The Queen would usually take advice from the PM or the Privy Council. The other thing to remember that the Queen can dissolve Parliament and appoint her own PM. This is what happened in 1939 when King George the 6th actually sacked Neville Chamberlain and asked Churchill to form a one party unity government for as long as he thinks fit. He called an election after the war ended and Churchill was defeated in the face of national poverty. By then he was quite ill with the strain of six years of war.

The Privy Council is only the highest appellate court for non-UK Commonwealth countries who choose to continue to use it as such + certain non- UK British territories and from the decisions of a very small number of UK bodies. The highest appellate court in the UK is the UK Supreme Court. There is a rather obscure statutory provision that allows the monarch (in practice the British government) to refer any matter to the Privy Council. The Privy Council has ruled, however, that it is appropriate to decline any such reference if another court is empowered to hear it (this issue came up directly, strangely, only in a PC ruling in 2012 -- the Act in question is from 1833 -- but that has long been the understanding of the statutory provision in question).
