(The legal nature and effect of the Decision of the Heads of State or Government of the Member States on the EU Reform Package, and the legal arrangements for implementing its various elements.)
Derrick Wyatt QC,
Brick Court Chambers, Emeritus Professor of Law at Oxford, Fellow of St Edmund Hall
“Does the British Constitution need statutory protection from the excesses of the CJEU?”
(The UK Supreme Court has flagged up the possibility that judgments of the CJEU which lack a credible legal basis or infringe fundamental principles of the British Constitution might be inapplicable under the European Communities Act. The Prime Minister has indicated that steps might need to be taken to prevent such judgments undermining the British Constitution and UK sovereignty. Are any such steps necessary or feasible?)
CHAIR: Professor Philippa Watson, Essex Court Chambers
