Summary
This chapter offers a broad reflection on the difficulties and challenges that the notion of trust presents for judges. After a historical excursion, it demonstrates how basing the operation of an area of law on trust is likely to clash with a rich and powerful bundle of ideas and historical experience at national level. This epilogue invites us to consider a shift in paradigm from law based on trust to trust based on law: ‘Seen this way, trust is not a pre-requisite for the law, but rather something that the law and social interaction generate. Trust becomes the end destination, not the starting point.’
