What must the government do if the judges deem its action as illegal?
Okay, so let's talk about how the UK government works and what happens when it clashes with the judges. In the UK, we have what's called the "rule of law," which basically means everyone, including the government, has to follow the law. The judges are there to make sure that happens. They're independent, meaning they're not controlled by the government. So, if the judges decide that something the government has done is against the law, it's a big deal. The government can't just ignore it or try to persuade the judges to change their minds. Instead, the government has to respect the court's decision. The only way for the government to continue with the policy is to change the law. This usually involves asking Parliament, which is made up of elected representatives, to create a new law or amend an existing one. This process ensures that any changes are debated and approved by the people's representatives, upholding the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It's a system of checks and balances, ensuring no one branch of government becomes too powerful.
Visualize a judge pointing at a government document, asking them to correct it, just like your teacher would ask you to correct your mistakes.
