Lezing 19 februari 2019: Jed Odermatt - Brexit and Dispute Settlement

Since the June 2016 referendum result in favour of leaving the European Union, questions have arisen regarding the role of courts in the process of exiting the EU, as well as their future role once the United Kingdom leaves. The question of whether the UK Government could notify the Council of the European Union of its intention to leave the Union was decided by the Supreme Court in R (Miller) v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union.
