This webinar will consider the paralysis in governance caused by a constitutional crisis. Is there a legitimating process? To what extent can the principles of separation of powers be invoked as a check and balance on abuse of power? An important feature in this discourse is the role of the Courts as the sentinel of constitutional values and principles of human rights. This event is run by LawASIA, the Law Council of Australia and The Commonwealth Lawyers Association.
