The UK Constitutional Law Association (UKCLA) have published a blog by Professor of Law and Director of Research at Aston Law School, Simon Lee, on the 75th anniversary of the Wednesbury case. 

Lexis®Library update: Lee, reflecting on the significance of the town of Wednesbury, the Gaumont cinema and Lord Greene’s wartime speech and ‘Law and Progress’ and Presidential Address talks, said there is more to consider on this anniversary about the place of Wednesbury and person of Lord Greene than the facts and judgment of the case.

The blog post can be read here.
