Speech by Lord Justice Gross: The Judicial System in a Modern Democracy



The Armed Forces and the Judiciary fulfil the two primary functions of a Sate: the Defence of the Realm and the provision of a justice system.  If the State succumbs to its external enemies all is lost.  If a State does not uphold law and justice, no other rights can be enforced or entitlements enjoyed.  We each therefore, in our separate ways, play a vital role - so that dialogue between us must be welcome and this talk today can be seen as a small part of that dialogue.
