	Chief Justice Jim Spigelman's speech - National - smh.com.au
		Commencing with my very first speech as Chief Justice, on the day of my swearing in, through several dozen other addresses and over two hundred speeches on the occasion of the admission of legal practitioners, I have emphasised the significance of the longevity of our institutions of parliamentary democracy and of the rule of law.
		In New South Wales and the then new colony of Victoria the constitutions proposed in 1853 went beyond what had been authorised and, accordingly, the Imperial Parliament had to pass further legislation to approve the constitutions submitted for Royal assent.
		In the version of the new constitution for responsible government that was transmitted to London, this gerrymander was protected by a requirement that a two-thirds majority was required to change it.

	KEY ISSUES IN JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION, Brennan J
		So, if no new methods of dispensing justice are devised, the number of cases requiring resolution by trial will increase, trials will become more difficult and more time consuming and, in consequence, the cost of litigation and the amount of public funds that will have to be spent on litigation will escalate.
		Although the courts must continue to hear and determine disputes, the public interest in the administration of justice does not require the expenditure of resources, both of personnel and material, on litigation that can be settled or on litigation that is disproportionate to the importance of the subject matter.
		The administration of justice by the courts should not be compromised by the intrusion, however unintended, of the commercial interests of third parties.

		The principle is nothing new: Blackstone considered that customary international law is binding on all members of the international community, and that the "law of nations" in its broadest sense forms part of the common law.
		Cooke P in Tavita v Minister of Immigration19 suggested that since New Zealand's accession to the Optional Protocol "the United Nations Human Rights Committee is in a sense part of this country's judicial structure, in that individuals subject to New Zealand jurisdiction have direct rights of recourse to it." This is something of an overstatement.
		It is now standard practice for New Zealand Courts to inform their decisions by reference to the authorities of international bodies and the decisions of national courts interpreting constitutional documents relating to human rights.

		Dame Sian Elias is Chief Justice of New Zealand.
		The chief contribution of the judiciary to the life of an unwritten constitution is by the deliberative process of judgment, through reasons which are laid open for all to pick over.
		If a tenable interpretation less encroaching on recognised rights is available, in New Zealand and the United Kingdom it may be disproportionate to accept another interpretation, more appropriate in application of conventional principles of statutory construction but more destructive of the protected values.
