Devolution

Question 1

Who will determine whether an Act of one of the devolved legislatures is within their law-making powers?

Answer 1

The question of whether an act of the devolved legislatures is within their law-making powers can be referred to the Supreme Court by a lower court.

If the devolved legislatures pass legislation that exceeds their law-making powers (including legislation that contradicts the ECHR), it will be struck down as invalid.
