Abstract

This article reflects on how courts in the USA and UK have remained active and resilient to provide access to justice, or due process, during times of emergency and disruptive events.. The focus here is not to define emergencies per se, but to analyse the impact of the emergencies and disruptive events that interrupt the functioning of courts and access to justice. The article provides a brief examination of the emergencies and the disruptions and the expected responses to those interruptions. The question for this paper is how do courts, adapt (or be adapted) in times of emergencies that disrupt their ordinary operation, both in terms of continuity of operations, but also in terms of protection of rights through judicial review? This paper will examine mainly two common law examples (England and USA) of how the courts adapted to such disruptions.
