I'm not a lawyer, so perhaps someone will correct me or clarify for me.

Our Common Law system works because when a law like the one to try and deal with Legal Highs is brought in, the court system responds to it and precedents are set and then the law begins to function.

I've seen something similar with the issue of internet copyright, where cases that would normally be in a county court have been switched to the High Court in London which was a short-term measure to help establish the precedents that will form the base for future legal decisions.

To try and link this issue with that of scientific excellence is a little tenuous though.
