Abstract:      

This chapter considers aspects of the role of the Law Lords from the mid 19th century, when they moved along Whitehall from the committee rooms in the Palace of Westminster and sat in the hearing rooms of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Downing Street. What has their impact been on the law of countries and territories from which appeals came? The answers given to that question varies greatly from place to place and time to time and in respect of different areas of law.
