all a LIB/LAB/CON

Another example of Labour attacking our hereitige. This does not fulfill Montisque's theory, the Judicary might be seperated from the legislature but the execuative still has a huge say in choosing the Judges.

Most of the Law Lords said this chage was uneeded and would be unhelpful, one of them even resigned over it and became master of the roles instead.

Plus no wigs; whats the point?

[harryj79]

Completely agree. All part of Blair's toxic legacy. He had no idea what he was doing, no knowledge of history, just some vague manifesto pledge to reform the House of Lords, which meant he felt compelled to rearrange a constitution he didn't understand on the back of an envelope. We will be paying the price for the last 13 years of New Labour for many years to come.

Will they accept claims from Native Americans against Britain, France and Spain?

[Apachecatdog]

Probably not because that doesn't sound like a case that would be appealed from the English criminal and civil courts, it also doesn't sound like it would be of any constitutional importance.

Oh, and I doubt most Native American's would be ill-educated enough to sue Britain considering that Britain agreed not to expand beyond the Appalachian Mountains in order to preserve Native lands.

NINE judges? What a waste that is.

More court injustice to be revealed...

[Ohyewildthong]

You do realise that the law lords only hear 50 or so cases a year.

[delacaravanio]

Could seven judges not handle the workload or, for that matter, five?

[Ohyewildthong]

Yes but it allows a greater amount of views and a larger number is important in some cases such as Holley

[delacaravanio]

In that very case, nine law lords sat, out of twelve, and the decision split 6-3. If twelve law lords had sat who is to say that the decision could not have been a tie, or different majority completely owing to a larger number of voices?

If the Court of Appeal can operate smoothly with three judges, then the Supreme Court should be well able to function with five.

[Ohyewildthong]

First of all there is only 9 law lords, not 12.

The court of appeal has more than 3 Judges, it just that 3 sit on cases. As the HoL hears fewer and more important cases it needs to have a variation in the number of Judges fielded. Sometimes it is only 3, sometimes the full nine. But always an odd number.

[delacaravanio]

Really? There was 12 Lords of Appeal in Ordinary, and there is 12 members of the supreme court.
