Workingman wrote:EU treaties can be spun any which way but the fact remains that they have no influence on the UK's membership of the Council of Europe or its adoption of that organisations European Convention on Human Rights and adherence to the judgements of its European Court of Human Rights. And post Brexit we can do what the hell we like regarding them, unhindered by legal niceties or diplomatic considerations.
Indeed, but until we do, these kinds of court cases are going to come up and the court of human rights is going to rule on it and the UK is going to have to accept those rulings. Of course the moment we leave, we can simply void the ruling in British law. I wonder if those Europeans planning to try and force the UK to keep them have thought this all the way through or are their lawyers just taking a fast buck?
