as they are afraid that the Government will simply abolish the Supreme Court altogether
They should be abolished altogether. A court without judicial independence is worth nothing at all. Less than nothing because it hinders the formation of an independent court.
- theK 4y agoI‘m on the verge regarding this theory. The existing court was explicitly created to have enough agency and independence to do just what is discussed above. Abolishing it and (maybe) creating a new one will not fix the problematic environment that causes the ineffectiveness in the first place. On the other hand, re-creating it would at least be „doing something“
- zarzavat 4y agoI tend to agree. The formation of the UK Supreme Court was intended to give the Court more political independence but it seems to have had the opposite effect and resulted in extreme loss aversion on the part of the justices, as there is no constitutional provision to protect its existence, unlike in almost every other supreme court around the world. Ironically, when they were in the House of Lords, the court was less susceptible to interference as it benefited from the constitutional protection of the Lords’ existence and affairs as part of Parliament.
