Description
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The UK Constitution after Miller: Brexit and Beyond by Edited by Mark Elliott Edited by Jack Williams Edited by Alison L Young
The judgment of the UK Supreme Court in iR (Miller) v Secretary of State/i for Exiting the European Union is of fundamental legal constitutional and political significance. The Supreme Court’s judgment discussed the relative powers of Parliament and the Government the relationship between Westminster and the devolved legislatures and the extent to which the UK’s membership of the EU had changed the UK constitution both prior to and even after departure. It also provided further evidence of the emerging role of the UK Supreme Court as a constitutional court despite the lack of a codified constitution in the UK. This edited collection critically evaluates the decision in iMiller/i providing a detailed analysis of the reasoning in the judgment and its longer-term consequences for the UK constitution through the period of Brexit and beyond. The case is used as a lens through which to evaluate the modern UK constitution and its potential future evolution. The book will be of great of value to anyone interested in the effect of the iMiller/i case and Brexit on the UK’s constitution.
