High Court judgement a political not legal decision.
UKIP
London MEP Gerard Batten who sits on the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home
Affairs Committee of the European Parliament said, “This
judgement is a political decision by part of the establishment that wants to
thwart the will of the British people in the Referendum.
“Part of the reasoning of the Court is that triggering Article 50 “will inevitably effect the changing of domestic law”. However, this is precisely the argument for why they cannot make this ruling. Treaties are merely agreements between governments. The courts cannot rule on them until they become part of domestic law by means of Acts of Parliament.
“All previous treaties have been entered into and signed by British governments using the Royal Prerogative without a vote in Parliament first. Only when parts are incorporated into law by Act of Parliament does Parliament become involved, and the courts have jurisdiction over their application.
