and not arbitrarily.

Rule of Law (2) 
“all persons and authorities within the 
state, whether public or private, 
should be bound by and entitled to 
the benefit of laws publicly made, 
taking effect (generally) in the future 
and publicly administered in the 
courts.” 
Bingham 2011
Some of the principles of the rule of 
law 
• The law must be accessible and so far as 
possible intelligible, clear and predictable. 
• Questions of right and liability should 
ordinarily be resolved by application of the 
law and not the exercise of discretion.
