CPL Seminar: 'Patrolling the Boundaries'

A seminar by Judge Malcolm Wallis, Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa

Judge Malcolm Wallis will speak on the topic of "Patrolling the Boundaries".

Date    :  Thursday 2nd May 2013

Time    :  1pm (with a sandwich lunch from 12.45pm)

Venue  :  Moot Court Room, Faculty of Law

Identifying the boundaries between legitimate judicial decision-making and trespass into the realm of the legislature and executive is a universal problem. The adoption of a Constitution that is the supreme law, containing a Bill of Rights that includes an extensive array of socio-economic rights, confronts judges in South Africa with a range of challenges in this area. In the seminar Judge Wallis will explore these challenges and ask whether it is possible to identify a principled basis for delimiting the judicial role.
