New Book: "Sovereignty Intact, The UK Parliament, Foreign Courts and Immigration" by Matilda Gillis


Sovereignty Intact  

The UK Parliament, Foreign Courts and Immigration

Matilda Gillis

This book examines the relationship between the UK Parliament and the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union. It illustrates, despite claims to the contrary, that these international courts do not impede Parliament’s work. Taking a case study of the right of non-nationals to enter and/or remain in a foreign country, it tracks how Parliament and the two courts consciously worked together to protect individuals' rights. Tackling the contentious issue of UK sovereignty, this important book, through rigorous analysis, expertly dismantles one of the most charged political claims of recent times.

Matilda Gillis is a Fellow and Lecturer in Law at Corpus Christi College and an Affiliated Lecturer at the Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge, UK.
