Rejected petition The Secretary of State for Justice provides a formal apology or resignation
The people of Britain request either a formal apology or resignation of Secretary of State for Justice who assumed office on 24/07/2019 for bringing the Supreme Court into dispute over his comments on Twitter dated 24/09/2019 at 14:15
More details
The people of Britain request either a formal apology or resignation of Secretary of State for Justice who said that “The Gov’t respectfully disagree with the court’s decision.”
This opinion shared by the minister who is directly responsible for Justice in the United Kingdom brings into disrepute the entire Justice system.
His sharing of this opinion undermines the rulings of the courts of our United Kingdom which leads to a country being ruled by opinions instead of the rule of law.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The resignation of a minister would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
