| Analyses of the rule of law will not generally refer to the moral dimension. There is in education, media, politics and even from within the church and its agencies |
| an attack on traditional morality. The conflict is not between traditional morality and values neutrality. It is between one moral order and another — the values |
| of the new moral order include: autonomy for the individual, equality and social justice. If law is not based on morality on what can it be based? The traditional |
| moral values as defined in section 8.1 in law and society are being replaced by a new set of values. The rule of law and the common law are in retreat because |
| their moral base is being undermined. See further section 18.2 (the emphasis on fault) and section 8. |
