The Rule of Law

Source: Handbook p.7

The rule of law means that no one is above the law — not even the government or the monarch. Everyone is equal before the law and must obey the law. Laws are made by Parliament and enforced by the police and the courts. The rule of law protects individual rights and ensures that disputes are resolved fairly.
