Are the courts our friend or our foe? This book has three parts:
Part I considers the case for judicial independence Part II looks
at the question 'Is judicial independence under threat?' Part III
reflects on whether judicial independence be defended and
protected. Prompted by the constitutional crisis following the
referendum of 2016, the Foundation for Law Justice and Society
convened the second Putney Debates. Now convened on an annual
basis, they provide a forum each year for the discussion of matters
of constitutional importance. The original Putney Debates were held
in St Mary's Church, Putney in 1647. The Civil War had been won,
the King was held prisoner, the New Model Army was in control. In
late October of that year, the weekly meeting of the High Council
of the New Model Army, under the chairmanship of Oliver Cromwell,
together with several civilians, turned into a debate about the
constitution. This is perhaps the only occasion in modern history
that a constitutional convention has been held on the English
constitution.
