Commentary on Sections Section 9 – Power of High Court to declare unlawful an act or omission of the Crown
29.The Act binds the Crown and applies to persons in service of the Crown as it applies to other persons, but it does not make the Crown itself criminally liable (see section 28 of the Legislation (Wales) Act 2019). Section 9, however, provides that the High Court may declare unlawful an act or omission of the Crown.
