 The Constitutional Reform Act 2005 resulted in the creation of a separate Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, to which the judicial function of the House of Lords, and some of the judicial functions of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, were transferred.In addition, the office of Lord Chancellor was reformed by the act, removing his ability to act as both a government minister and a judge.This was motivated in part by concerns about the historical admixture of legislative, judicial, and executive power.
