The best quote from the judgement has to be this:

“It is difficult to express in language of appropriate moderation why we consider [the MoJ's] arguments without merit. The first point, which should not need to be made but evidently does, is that consultees are entitled to expect that a government ministry undertaking a consultation exercise will conduct it in a way which is open and transparent.”

Following the Supreme Court's beautifully patronising "Rule of Law for Dummies" judgement in the Employment Tribunal fees case, when will this Government start to learn that there are requirements of a fair and just society that mean they can't just rampantly hack every department's budget to the bone?
