The English Law and its Future

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Lord Hailsham of St Marylebone, who was Lord Chancellor 1970-74. examines the relation between the two main sources of English Law: the Common Law as interpreted by judges, and Statute Law as laid down by Act of Parliament.
Should Parliament alone be the arbiter of change, or should the courts continue evolving the Common Law by new application of existing doctrine?
