Justice minister Liz Truss, under growing pressure to back the judges, issued a brief statement saying the independence of the judiciary was the "foundation upon which our rule of law is built" and said Britain's legal system was impartial.
"Tiesu varas neatkarība ir pamats, uz kura ir būvēta mūsu likuma vara, un mūsu tiesas visā pasaulē tiek pamatoti cienītas par to neatkarību un objektivitāti," paziņoja tieslietu ministre Liza Trasa, atkārtojot valdības pausto pozīciju, ka tiesas spriedums tiks pārsūdzēts.
