Question:

How can it be described that the Judiciary and the Supreme Court is NOT Independent and Neutral?

Author: eric_galvao



Answer:

-Lack of Social Diversity in Senior Judiciary means Changes can be made that sadly are Biased towards some Groups, often already Disappointed by the Criminal Justice System (Women.) Shamima Begum is an Example. -Political Input still exists. The Selection Responsibility rests with the Lord Chancellor, itself appointed by the Prime Minister. The Lord Chancellor can Reject the JAC Suggestions -The UKSC was Cosmetic - the Powers of the UKSC is the same as the Law Lords. Being able to hold the Government to Account is still Limiting -MPs and the Media Question the UKSC Decisions. The Daily Mail ran headline: 'Supreme Court judges were 'enemies of the people' over the Court Decisions relating to Brexit. This may make the UKSC less likely to make such Tough Decisions. -Being critical of the Government, Judges may be Independently, but not acting Neutral -Parliament can Limit the Power and Impendence of the Judiciary. 2019 Manifesto saw the Conservatives to Review the UKSC Powers after the Brexit Court Rulings
