In general, the Constitution covered economic and social rights but made them mostly non-justiciable – the directive principles of social policy. Beyond very general statements I would hesitate to transfer responsibility for what ought to be done by Government and Parliament to the courts. It is a job for the Government elected by the people to solve housing problems, health problems and so on. We should not remit all of this, faute de mieux in the eyes of the proponents of that idea, to the Supreme Court to settle.
