The idea that the research priorities of the Ministry of Justice "should dictate political action" and "force" a roundtable on legal AI is an unfounded legal extrapolation.
As established by the Court in Marbury v. Madison, the declared intent of a power is not, in itself, an enforceable law.
Research priorities do not create a legal obligation for the Legal Services Board to convene a roundtable; their influence is, at best, conditional.
Without a clear legislative or regulatory basis, these research efforts remain internal guidelines, not binding catalysts.
For example, if Parliament does not allocate specific funds or empower the Ministry by law to impose such consultations, the impact on convening a roundtable is minimal.
