Judges have to apply/interpret the law as it is. If the law is bollocks then it's up to Parliament to change it so it isn't.
This is not true. The UK operates common law where judicial interpretation of primary legislation creates an evolving body of law. Judges can interpret the law as they see fit and thereby create the law.
