Cambridge Law Faculty published this video item, entitled “Constitutional Law Lecture: The Supreme Court’s Judgment in the Treaty Incorporation Bill References” – below is their description.
On Thursday 11 November the Centre for Public Law, in conjunction with the Constitutional Law Matters project, hosted an event examining the Supreme Court’s judgment in the Treaty Incorporation Bill References. Professor Alison Young and Professor Mark Elliott spoke about the case followed by questions. The event was chaired by Sir Patrick Elias.
In its judgment, the Court held that the Scottish Parliament had exceeded its legislative power when it enacted Bills seeking to incorporate the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Charter of Local Self-Government. The Supreme Court’s judgment raises a number of issues of constitutional significance concerning devolution, parliamentary sovereignty and the Human Rights Act 1998.
