Triggering Art. 50 TEU: Interpreting the UK’s ‘own constitutional requirements’

Triggering Art. 50 TEU: Interpreting the UK’s ‘own constitutional requirements’ Mac Amhlaigh, Cormac Author aut Text xx# 2016 Verfassungsblog 2016-09-30 eng Can the British government initiate the process of leaving the European Union without consulting Parliament? On September 28th the government released its legal position that the only constitutional way to give effect to the Brexit referendum result is through the exercise of the executive power. Some of the government's arguments appear to be on shaky grounds. The mere fact that the process has been caught up in legal wrangling before it has even begun shows that there is still a long, long road ahead before any sense of stability will return to British (constitutional) politics as well as the relationship between the UK and the EU in whatever form that may eventually take.
