Title: Opening Remarks: Primary Functions of Government
Abstract: These are Lord Cooke’s opening remarks to a panel discussion at the First Annual conference on the Primary Functions of Governments: Courts, hosted by the Centre for Public Law at Victoria University of Wellington on 29 November 2003. Lord Cooke briefly addresses two concepts: sovereignty and judicial supremacy. He favours a theory of the separation of powers advanced by Professor Philip Joseph, which views Parliament and the courts as being part of a collaborative enterprise. Parliament’s role is to legislate in broad terms while the courts’ function is to give positive effect to legislation. Abstract by Elizabeth Chan.
