But what is striking is how things are unfolding pretty much as expected.
Such concerns were dismissed by Leave campaigners as a lawyer’s version of “Project Fear”.
But just as importantly, in that lecture, I also identified what any competent constitutional lawyer could have safely foreseen as the likely consequences of a Leave victory in the referendum. But a lot of people have been asking for a more general review, simply of where things have got to “one year on”.įor those purposes, I went back to a lecture I gave in Liverpool last June – only a matter of days before the referendum itself – in which I described the Leave campaign as being guilty of dishonesty on an industrial scale. Obviously, myself and my colleagues are now engaged in detailed analysis of developments such as the ongoing withdrawal negotiations and the so-called Repeal Bill. Now that events have finally begun to move, there is an enormous amount of work for constitutional lawyers, like me, to get our teeth into. It’s just over a year since the Government endorsed the narrow victory of the Leave alliance in the 2016 referendum on UK membership of the EU.
