EC Membership and Judicialization of British Politics

by Danny Nicol

Overview

The Law Lords have attributed the supremacy of European Community law in Britain to Parlaiment's 'entirely voluntary' surrender of sovereignty. This book describes, from a Parliamentary perspective, how sovereignty was actually lost. It charts the evolution of MP's constitutional understandings of EC membership and the transformation from a constitution based on politics to one based on law.
