Crown Immunity

Crown Immunity, also known as Sovereign or Crown Immunity, is a legal principle that protects the government (the Crown) from being sued or held liable in the same way as private individuals or organizations. Essentially, it means the government cannot be sued without its consent, to ensure it can operate without constant legal interference. This immunity is rooted in historical tradition and varies by jurisdiction. Over time, many countries have limited this immunity, allowing for certain exceptions where the government agrees to be held accountable or where specific laws grant legal recourse against it.
