EC Membership and the Judicialization of British Politics: (Oxford Studies in European Law)

Series: Oxford Studies in European Law

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.
