| Description: |
Building the UK's New Supreme Court is a collection of essays by academics and legal practitioners on questions relating to the institutional and procedural design of the UK's proposed new top-level court. They consider the interrelationships between the work of the Law Lords and courts in Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Court of Appeal, the European Court of Justice, and the European Court of Human Rights. Other essays examine the scope for lesson-learning from theexperiences of top courts outside the UK - the US Supreme Court, the Supreme Court of Canada, and the German and Spanish constitutional courts. |
| Synopsis: |
In the context of the far-reaching reforms proposed for the Appellate Committee House of Lords and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, Building the UK's New Supreme Court considers the operation and reform of courts at the apex of the UK's legal systems. The chapters are linked by broad and overlapping themes. The first of these is the complexity of accommodating national differences within the UK into the institutional design of the new supreme court. It will be not only a court for the UK's three legal systems, and simultaneously a national institution of the whole UK, but it is also likely to be called upon to resolve division of powers disputes within the emerging system of multi-level government. A second theme is the scope for comparative lesson-learning from top courts in other legal systems: the Supreme Court of Canada, the US federal courts system, and the constitutional courts in Germany and Spain are considered. Thirdly, the connections between the UK's top-level court and other courts, especially intermediate courts of appeal, the European Court of Justice, and the European Court of Human Rights are examined. |
