  1. 1Professors [blank_start]Craig[blank_end] and [blank_start]Allan[blank_end] believe that [blank_start]parliamentary[blank_end] sovereignty is a construct of the [blank_start]common law[blank_end].
    1. ACraig
    2. BAllan
    3. Ccommon law
    4. Dparliamentary
  2. 2[blank_start]Wade[blank_end] argues that [blank_start]Parliament[blank_end] is not capable of [blank_start]imposing[blank_end] any sorts of limits on itself.
    Wade supports the [blank_start]orthodox view[blank_end] of [blank_start]parliamentary sovereignty[blank_end], in that the rules by which [blank_start]statutes[blank_end] are identified are beyond the reach of Parliament.
    When the court invoked the ECA [blank_start]1972[blank_end] to disapply the [blank_start]Merchant Shipping Act[blank_end] 1988, it became clear that Parliament had [blank_start]bound its successors[blank_end].
    The language of the [blank_start]Factortame[blank_end] judgments is inconsistent with the view that the court has merely adopted a principle of [blank_start]statutory construction[blank_end] in seeking to avoid a conflict between [blank_start]English[blank_end] and EC law.

  3. 3[blank_start]Barber[blank_end] says that ideas about [blank_start]parliamentary sovereignty[blank_end] are misconceived, and that it is [blank_start]no longer[blank_end] a part of the UK [blank_start]constitution.[blank_end]

    2. Bparliamentary sovereignty
    3. Cno longer
    4. Dconstitution.
  4. 4[blank_start]Heuston[blank_end] supports the [blank_start]manner and form[blank_end] argument, in that Parliament could [blank_start]specify[blank_end] what would count as [blank_start]Parliament[blank_end] in future.
    1. AHeuston
    2. Bmanner and form
    3. Cspecify
    4. DParliament
  5. 5[blank_start]Craig[blank_end] states that by passing the [blank_start]Act of 1972[blank_end], Parliament has voluntarily accepted a limitation of its sovereignty, making it clear that Community Law must [blank_start]prevail[blank_end] in future.
    The HS2 case is important for [blank_start]constitutional law[blank_end] and the relationship between the [blank_start]UK[blank_end] and EU legal orders.
    There are two strands to the court's analysis of the [blank_start]HS2 case[blank_end]:
    1. [blank_start]Judicial critique[blank_end] - voiced most strongly by Lords Mance and [blank_start]Neuberger[blank_end] - [blank_start]overly creative interpretation[blank_end]. People would not be confident that [blank_start]European law[blank_end] would be given its full, obvious effect, leading to a [blank_start]national loss[blank_end] of confidence in EU law and impair [blank_start]judicial balance[blank_end] between the ECJ and national courts.
    2. [blank_start]Judicial co-operation[blank_end] - [blank_start]ECJ[blank_end] decisions should be interpreted so as to avoid [blank_start]conflict[blank_end] with national law.

  6. 6Dicey's doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty has [blank_start]three limbs.[blank_end]

    1. [blank_start]Positive limb[blank_end]: [blank_start]Parliament[blank_end] can make or unmake any [blank_start]law.[blank_end]
    2. [blank_start]Negative limb[blank_end]: [blank_start]Nobody can question[blank_end] an Act of Parliament.

    [blank_start]Mortensen v Peters[blank_end] - a [blank_start]Danish trawlerman[blank_end] was convicted of [blank_start]illegal fishing[blank_end] near Scotland. On appeal, he argued that the law [blank_start]should not[blank_end] apply to him. Held: although contrary to [blank_start]international law[blank_end], the law still applies to [blank_start]outside[blank_end] citizens.

    [blank_start]Cheney v Conn[blank_end] - D was a member of a [blank_start]campaign for nuclear disarmament[blank_end]. D said that British [blank_start]ownership[blank_end] and threat of the use of [blank_start]nuclear weapons[blank_end] was contrary to [blank_start]Geneva[blank_end] law, and so D refused to pay taxes. Held: [blank_start]statutes[blank_end] are the [blank_start]highest form of law[blank_end] in the UK. An [blank_start]Act of Parliament[blank_end] overrides international [blank_start]conventions.[blank_end]
