The competence, or lack thereof, of courts to review Constitutional amendments in countries with written constitutions that are supreme, derives from the text, language and provisions of the said constitutions. Where the Constitution does not expressly grant such a power to the courts, judicial review of the merits of Constitutional amendments is not possible. Of course, the courts can always examine, and pronounce on, Constitutional amendments on the ground of failure to comply with the procedure for amendment to the Constitution.

The Ninth Amendment to the Constitution was tabled today in the House of Representatives. It comes out of June’s double nationalizations of Telemedia and BEL – and seeks to forever cement public majority ownership and control of Utilities.It also seeks to place the nationalizations on an unchallengeable footing – meaning that no matter which court says what – no private ownership group can ever again re-assume majority control of public utilities.
