Gildas the Monk has done another post about the interrelationship between the courts and parliament. I don't entirely agree with it, but it is worth a read.
He finishes:
On a wider front, if the Judges themselves do not get a grip and stop the tide of draconian orders which threaten to undermine fair reporting and free speech, Parliament must act to re-assert its Sovereignty. Lawyers and judges like to think they are the bastions of freedom. In this case they are acting to suppress those freedoms. They must be checked now.
