Readers will have gathered that I am on holiday. But my piece in the latest print edition of Standpoint explores the delicate relationship between judges and politics.

I have been sent a copy of the letter in which the president of the High Court Family Division tells the body responsible for administering legal aid of the "grave danger" that the family justice system "will simply implode" because of the way contracts for child-care cases have been awarded. Brief extracts were published in the Sunday Telegraph today.

I was delighted to see that Michael Supperstone QC, a friend since my university days (1968-71), was recently appointed a High Court judge. But, despite what Downing Street believes, he was not a circuit judge before he joined the High Court.

As the Supreme Court completes its first year of sittings this week, nobody is saying anything about the contribution to its jurisprudence by the third most senior member of the court, Lord Saville of Newdigate. That is because -- as far as I can see -- Lord Saville has not written a single judgment.
