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.A HTML version of this speech is not available click here or view below the pdf version : Speech
