The Rule of law is considered to be fundamental to all democratic legal systems and dates back to Aristotle, although popularised by AV Dicey. It encompasses basic freedoms including no punishment without infringement of the law, freedom from arbitrary power and arbitrary laws. The laws must be certain, legible and accessible to comply with the rule of law. It also militates against retrospective laws. The Rule of Law requires equality before the law ie all citizens are subject to the same law no matter what their rank or station in life.
