Lord Phillips has been complaining that the fact the administrative functions of the Supreme Court may compromise the court's independence. This looks like extreme paranoia.
The idea that a government might put pressure on the Supreme Court Justices over any decision by threatening them with reduced funding for their clerks, transcribers and admin managers is smply unrealistic.
Judicial independence is now so firmly established that it would take an earthquake to reverse it.
