Question
Similarly, the courts play a role in law-making through the development of the common law and through the interpretation of statute. However, there is a fine dividing line between developing the law and making it, and sometimes the courts are accused of excessive ‘judicial activism’.

In [ case ], Shaw wanted to publish a 'ladies directory' giving details of prostitutes and their services. He was advised that publication of the directory would not amount to a criminal offence. Nevertheless, a conviction of 'conspiracy to corrupt public morals' was upheld (even though there was no such statutory offence and such a conviction was unprecedented). The House of Lords held that courts have: 'residual power to enforce the supreme and fundamental purpose of the law, to conserve not only the safety and order but also the moral welfare of the state'.
Answer
