Abstract
'IN ENGLAND AMIDST THE CLASH OF ARMS THE LAWS ARE NOT SILENT. THEY MAY BE CHANGED, BUT THEY SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE IN WAR AS IN PEACE. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF THE PILLARS OF FREEDOM, ONE OF THE PRINCIPLES OF LIBERTY ... THAT THE JUDGES ARE NO RESPECTERS OF PERSONS, AND STAND BETWEEN THE SUBJECT AND ANY ATTEMPTED ENCROACHMENTS ON HIS LIBERTY BY THE EXECUTIVE' (LORD ATKIN DURING WORLD WAR II)
