Question:

How can it be described that the UKSC is NOT too Powerful?

Author: eric_galvao



Answer:

-The Court needs to wait for a Case to be brought before it - it can not Start Judicial Review. The number of Judicial Reviews are on a Downwards Trend due to cuts to Legal Aid -Politicians undermined the Independence of the UKSC and Judiciary. For example, the setting of minimal Sentences terms for Offences means Judges have less Flexibility -Courts simply making sure Rights are Protected. A Powerful Executive with a Majority in Parliament Determines the Range and Scope of Rights. In 2013: The Justice and Security Act allowed 'closed material proceedings' (Secret Courts) into the Justice System. Essentially there were concerns about a Fair Trail being eroded
