The existence or otherwise of a public office was a question of law to be decided by a trial judge not by a jury.”

“Although both the law surrounding human rights and the use of judicial review to uphold it have grown exponentially in the UK in recent times, there are still plenty of jurisdictions where even fundamental principles of justice are not respected with any consistency. It is not surprising, therefore, that the last decade has seen a number of cases where those faced with perceived injustice abroad turn homewards for redress.”
