I am glad that this has been successful and that the court has faithfully interpreted the ouster clause. This provides a useful template for future ousters but it is crucial that Parliament accepts that ousters be used exceptionally 4/4
Communication between Parliament and the courts had broken down when it comes to ousters. Therefore, we tried a different approach focused on allowing some narrow exceptions to the ouster in order to ensure its effectiveness 3/4
As I explained in my @Policy_Exchange lecture, we had been, since Anisminic, unable to come up with effective ouster clauses. That led to Parliament seeking to enact overly wide ouster clauses which led to adverse reactions from the courts 2/4 https://t.co/KBDcB2WzIw
Threading this together. Am Delighted that the High Court has upheld the effectiveness of the Cart JR ouster I introduced to Parliament following IRAL's recommendations. Strong reaffirmation of Parliamentary Sovereignty and of the true meaning of the Rule of Law 1/4 https://t.co/zhygRtwdk8
