Supreme Court judgement

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Having entered the political arena in the recent Supreme Court judgement, contrary to the earlier High Court ruling, the electorate should know the political leanings of the Supreme Court members when making such decisions and, in this specific judgement, their views about Brexit.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

In any case, publicising the personal views of Supreme Court Justices is not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament.

The Supreme Court has published some information, including a Judicial Code of Conduct, which you might find useful:
