Controversial Constitutional Cases: Miller I with Professor Alison Young

Cambridge Law Faculty published this video item, entitled “Controversial Constitutional Cases: Miller I with Professor Alison Young” – below is their description.

In this Constitutional Law Matters video, Alison Young explores the Miller I case, in which the UK Supreme Court held that the UK Government could not trigger the Brexit process under Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union until authorised to do so by Act of Parliament. Professor Elliott considers the differing views of the majority and dissenting Justices and examines why Miller I is seen by some as a controversial constitutional case.
