Re: What's The Point In Parliamentary Democracy If Judges Make Law On The Hoof?

there's a rather considerable difference, in that the actions of judges govern our lives. they do more than suggest stuff as well, the judiciary are capable of interpreting law in line with the advancement of political doctrine, and especially at a european level, altering the governance of our society. i feel they're getting beyond their mandate these days, and it's becoming a bit undemocratic.

But there role is to make decisions on the cases that are put before them. Were the law is clearer these cases get dealt with fairly low down the system - at the top end on the system they have to deal with issues where the law is unclear or in some cases where laws contradict each other. What are they supposed to do? They are asked to make a ruling and they have a duty to do so. The blame for lack of clarity lies with those making and drafting the laws. They have to rely in other cases, basic principles and their interpretation of the intention of the laws which have been made.
Like fish on a Friday.
