| description | This article provides a commentary on the article by District Judge Anselm Eldergill
'Compassion and the law: a judicial perspective' published in the previous issue of the Elder
Law Journal at [2015] Eld LJ 268. Recognising the importance of Judge Eldergill's
contribution to consideration of compassion to the judicial role and law, the article has three
aims; to: (1) contextualise the significance of Judge Eldergill's contribution with wider
reference to the law and associated literature; (2) develop consideration of the place of
compassion as a judicial quality; and (3) analyse the current place and potential for
compassion as a basis for judicial decision. The article approves Judge Eldergill's reasoning
for compassion as an 'instrument of justice', while also developing cautious arguments for the
place of compassion in the jurisdiction and jurisprudence of both the Court of Protection and
High Court. |
