'Lord Reed’s appointment to succeed Lady Hale seems to me to be good news for the rule of law, reducing the risk that the Supreme Court will abuse its mighty jurisdiction.' Richard Ekins for @ConHome conservativehome.com/thinktankcentr…

'The future of the Supreme Court, and of the rule of law, turns on how its justices understand their role. So, it is noteworthy that the court’s composition is being subjected to significant change.' Richard Ekins and @sc_laws in @prospect_uk prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/what-…

'It might well be politically unwise to prorogue Parliament in the autumn.... But it would be extraordinary if the courts were to quash a prime minister’s recommendation to prorogue Parliament on legal grounds.' Richard Ekins and @sc_laws for @spectator blogs.spectator.co.uk/2019/07/john-m…

The power of Lord Sumption's second Reith Lecture "is not only that it may alert the public to the rise of judicial power, but that it makes clear to all the illegitimacy of displacing representative politics with litigation" – Richard Ekins ukconstitutionallaw.org/2019/05/29/ric…

"Legislated Rights - Securing Human Rights through Legislation" a new book, plus this great set of responses on @judicialpwr - fascinating reading for legislative drafters. A corrective to the common academic/litigator idea that ordinary legislation never implements human rights.
