Rule of Law

The fact that the most arbitrary powers of the (English) executive must always be exercised under Act of Parliament places the government, even when armed with the widest authority, under the supervision, so to speak, of the Courts. Powers, however extraordinary, which are conferred or sanctioned by statute, are never really unlimited, for they are confined by the words of the Act itself, and, what is more, by the interpretation put upon the statute by the judges.

Parliament is supreme legislator, but from the moment Parliament has uttered its will as lawgiver, that will becomes subject to the interpretation put upon it by the judges of the land.

A.V. Dicey

Who we are

Advocates for the rule of law is a grouping of independent minded lawyers who have decided to take action out of concern for the current state of the nation.

The current constitutional crisis and institutional breakdown is whithering away the system of checks and balances that guarantees stability and governance in a liberal democracy.We are advocating for change. Constitutional change.
