No Traditional Right of Appeal
Objection to what he described as a growing practice, that of removing the traditional right of appeal against legislative action and constituting a Minister of the Crown as the final court of appeal, was made by Mr H. S. E. Turner at a meeting of the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce. Mr Turner said that the people should not rest while the traditional rights of the subject were being taken away. “The essence of what we call the totalitarian system is that the Government ’should be the ‘be all and end all’,’’ said Mr Turner. “There are now several instances of no right of appeal beyond the Minister, and it seems that the bull- . dozer is being used in the country.”
