“High Court Judges Make Law to Keep The Law Up To Date”

Judges exercise judicial power. They play an integral role in the judicial process, as they apply the law and in some cases create the law.

Economic and social changes over the last few decades have grown at a rapid rate, to counter-act the rapid growth, law makers and judges in particular are required to keep up the with times. The need for judges to meet new cases, to provide new or better remedies is ever more relevant.
