Since 1997, the UK judiciary has significantly influenced the executive and Parliament due to constitutional reforms, legislative changes, and landmark judicial decisions. Key reforms include the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Constitutional Reform Act 2005, which enhanced judicial independence and scrutiny. Judicial review has expanded, exemplified by the 2019 Supreme Court ruling on the prorogation of Parliament. This increased judicial oversight has led to more accountable governance but also sparked debates about the balance of power between the judiciary and the executive. The judiciary’s role in upholding the rule of law and protecting individual rights remains crucial, despite ongoing discussions about its limits.
