Many of the powers of the prime minister and other ministers are based on
the Royal prerogative, which is not subject to judicial oversight.
As parliament is sovereign, it can make, unmake and amend any law it
whishes and son on, in that sense, it is above the law.
The principle of parliamentary privilege means the MPs and peers are not
subject to legal restrictions on what they can say in parliament
The Queen, as head of the legal system, is not properly subject to the law.
All these aspects can undermine No one is above' the law .moreover they are
not illegal actions and cannot be prosecuted as an illegal action.
Legal disputes may be prohibitively costly, for many, and only the wealthy can
afford to be represented by top lawyers.
Access to legal aid is not always easy and may exclude people from middleincome groups
Judges may be biased against ,for instance .women, ethnic minorities and the
poor because they tend to come from narrow and privileged social and
educational background
