In the 2017 “Brexit” Judgement the UK ‘Supreme Court’ upheld the Authority of the ‘Bill of Rights’ in these words:
Para. 44. In the early 17th century Case of Proclamations (1610) 12 Co Rep 74, Sir Edward Coke CJ said that:
“the King by his proclamation or other ways cannot change any part of the common law, or statute law, or the customs of the realm”.
Although this statement may have been controversial at the time, it had become firmly established by the end of that century.
In England & Wales, the ‘Bill of Rights 1688’ confirmed that “the pretended power of suspending of laws or the execution of laws by regall authority without consent of Parlyament is illegall” and that:
“the pretended power of dispensing with laws or the execution of laws by regall authoritie as it hath beene assumed and exercised of late is illegall”..!
