THE EXECUTIVE AND THE COURTS: THE ENGLISH SCENE AND ITS FRENCH COUNTERPART

Authors

  • C J HAMSON

Abstract

This is an address delivered in Gray’s Inn Hall, London in 1956. Its purpose is to offer the observations of an academic lawyer on the field of law concerning the relations of the courts and the executive. The author distinguishes between police functions of the executive and other functions, in order to suggest that police functions should be included readily in the description of executive functions. Based on this distinction, he separates four courts for comparison: 1) the English court dealing with the English police; 2) the English courts dealing with the English executive other than police; 3) the French court dealing with the police judiciaire; and 4) the French court dealing with the French executive in its non-police functions. He examines the advantages of each system and determines the reasons for such stark contrasts between them.
