I.G. Kovalyov Judicial powers of House of Lords, and the history of their evolution and legal regulationAbstract: The House of Lords of the British Parliament has been combining both, Legislative and Judicial authority for a very long time, which does not agree with the conventional views on democracy, and contradicts the principle of separation of powers, and the article focuses on the legal and historical preconditions for this development. Analyzing the main stages of historical growth of judicial prerogative of the Lords, the author also explores the factors which dictated the necessity of legal consolidation of such prerogative. The Constitutional Reform Act of 2005 deserves close attention, because its enactment resulted in factual reformation of Lords of Appeal into a new structural element of the British judicial system – the Supreme Court. Keywords: History, Great Britain, Peers, precedent, Law, appeals, reforms, Conservative party, Labour party, modernization
