Union Matters

Following the death of Professor Sir Neil MacCormick, distinguished jurist and sometime SNP MEP, the question occurs of the guarantee in the Treaty of Union that there would always be a separate system of Scots Law.

It did not and does not specify that one word of that Law's substance must necessarily differ from, for example, English Law. But it did and does require all process to be distinct.

Yet that is now in tatters. Scotland - like England, Wales and Northern Ireland - is subject to the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights. Where is the Nationalist outrage at this?
