A legislative response is both necessary and appropriate. Parliament is sovereign in our constitutional hierarchy. Courts gain their legitimacy from being impartial. When they insert themselves into policy debates or try to influence legislation, they risk undermining public confidence. They also undermine the rule of law by creating legal uncertainty.
We stand at a constitutional crossroads. Will we allow our Supreme Court to continue its drift towards judicial supremacy? Or will Parliament act to restore the proper balance? The choice is clear. In our democracy, voters - through their elected representatives – should have the final say in shaping our laws, not unaccountable judges. It is time for Parliament to act.
